Hey all, i got a 1992 Nissan Maxima SE, and im trying to run my amp wires to the battery, thru the firewall, although i cannot find any way to get them there, there is no hole or anything on my firewall to get wires thru, any suggestions? thanks for the help

Hey guys, I am having some troubles running my power wire from the battery to the amp in my 04 grand prix. There are no grometts that have any room for the wire that go through the firewall. It is also hard to drill because the fire wall is almost like a double fire wall, it is very thick and I dont...

I can personally recommend the Rockford Fostgate dual amp wiring kit . I used it to hook up the two amps in my vehicle, and it worked out great. It has every thing that you need to hook up two amps to a head unit. Since you are using a four channel amp, you will need one more RCA cable to complete the...

Thanks, So If I get a MRP-M850 it will push out 800 watts. If I put that into 2 Alpine 1242D's will the watt rating still be 800 or will it drop to 400 because it is powering 2 subs? And as far as the cheep amp thing, I was looking for a example, because I am fairly new to car audio. And if I wanted...

by any chance are you using the old power wire that you were previously using? What is the imput gain set to on the amp? Dumb Quesion but..are you sure you got the rcas hooked up to the correct outputs on the back of the head unit? What has changed from the last time you had this hooked up.

is your amp 2 or 4 channels ? If it 2 channel how do you have the speakers wired. What it sounds like is that your amp is clipping, it is either from to low of a ohm load or heat from poor ventilation.What gauge wire do you have for battery power and ground, and how many watts is your amp ? One last...

This might sound like a silly question. I would like to power a set of component speakers in the front doors of a Honda s2000 and a single sub in the trunk. Do I then need a 3 channel amp? Can I use a 4 channel and bridge two channels? What is the best way to drive 3 channels? Thx.

I would definitely recommend a ring terminal at the battery, with or without the extender.  (You did put a fuse in the power feed, preferably no more than 18-inches from the battery, I hope?)

If the main power is only showing .5V, then you have a serious voltage drop somewhere. If everything is off, what kind of reading do you get on the main power wire? If it is close to normal with everything off, but drops to .5V when you turn it on, then it's definitely a connection or the fuse is...

The amount of power delivered to the subwoofers is determined by the impedance (measured in ohms) of the speakers connected to the amplifier. The Alpine MRP-M850 can deliver 800 RMS watts at 2 ohm load, and 500 RMS watts at a 4 ohm load. In order to deliver 800 RMS watts of power to the two Type...

OK, here's my situation. I currently have a single amp (30W X 4) being powered by a 10' piece of 8ga. I am adding another amp (300W X 2) for my subs. I think I should have 4ga for the new amp. My question is can I just run another section of 8ga and tie them together at a distribution block? I'm not...

ok so i have two 2ohm dvc subs and a mono amp(1 ohm stable). ok so if i were to wire both subs at 1 ohm and wire the subs together would that equal 1 still or would that bridge even farther down to a half ohm? right now i have them at 4 each so am i at 2 ohms together? im just trying to get the most...

So I just installed a 150 W amp, kind of an older one that I just got from a friend. So I am not entirely sure that everything works on it. However, all the fuses are good. When I turn on the car, I hear nothing. I checked the voltage from the power terminal to the ground terminal and it is like .5 V...

im looking for a nice class d mono amp. and i found this kenwood. its seems to be great but i look at the picture and found that it has 2 positives and 2 negative terminals i.e. it looks a like a 2 channel amp. can some one explain it to me. would u have to bridge the amp to get the 2 ohms. doest the...

To get a 2 ohm load, the voice coils would need to be wired in parallel. If they are wired in series, you have have an 8 ohm load. Also, the amp is a mono amp and it has two sets of terminals to make wiring up multiple speakers a little easier. The terminals on this amp are wired in parallel internally...

ok im geting a kenwood kac 8152d mono amp to run one alpine type R 21" sub i dont understand why it the amp appears to have 2 channel so im not sure wat model the dual 4 or dual 2 ohm to get so i get the 550 rms outa the amp. help me please

I have a pioneer head unit with a front speaker rca output, and a subwoofer output. I am purchasing a 4 channel amp. My questions are this: number one does the front rca output on my deck control all 4 front speakers, or just the front two speakers? My original plan was to bridge the amp to run the subwoofer...

I have an 01 Maxima and i have had an amp and box installed. My original set was okay. I just got my friends box which was [extremely] loud ... in his car. It's no where near loud...barely audible in fact... [mod edit: language] Is it more than likely that the genius who installed it originally...

well i have a 2005 toyota camry, i have the amps and the subs i need, i just need to find the BEST possible way to run the amp wire to the trunk OR under the passenger seat whichever's easier, i just wanted to know if someone here has some pictures of their own car running a amp wire in a camry! thanks

Well, here is my current situation. It is 1147PM CST, started working on this amplifier job at 2PM CST, so you can imagine my frustration at this point. Basically, it's a simple 2 Amplifier Setup, I am running the initial RCA connections to the 4 Channel Alpine Amplifier and then running the Preouts...

Grab a multimeter if you can and see if you can find the ignition wire, power antennae wire or something labeled auxiliary power wire. Also if you are using speaker level inputs, some can turn on automatically without the remote wire. Pzaul

garrotbunx: How much of a difference wud it make if I had 2 subs? Could i then wire one subwoofer in series with the left 6x9 speaker and the other in series with the right 6x9? If I do it this way, can it kill the amp? If they are a pair of matching subs, it makes a huge difference. You want them in...

i have 2 amps, 1 powering front speakers, and other powering my sub. i want to mamke sure i get this right, never installed one. i got this wiring kit so the fuse geos close to the battery? and i run the 17' 4 gauge wire to the distribution block (going between amps) then i run the 8 gauge out to the...

So right now in my car I have two pairs of component speakers. A pair of Infinity 5010cs and 6020cs powered just by my headunit, a Pioneer 3900. I'd like to just get the best sound possible without spending too much. I'm not looking to add any subs in the future as I'm very happy with how the speakers...

i have been hearing about a lot of amps needing more batteries which leaves me wondering how they stay charged? do you have to install a new alternator or charge them at night? please explain.
