Alpine MRP-M500orAlpine MRP-M1000 do i need that extra power? or is the alpine mrp-m500 ...

Does anybody have the wiring diagram for a alphasonik amp model GP-2100 I bought this years ago from Crutchfield please help

Hi, I don't know much about this stuff yet but im learning i just bought a jensen 600 watt 4 channel bridgeable amp from a friend i was thinking on getting 2  12 inch mtx 4500's an i saw the specs say it has 450 peak power somewhere and the RMS is 112.5 - 225 idk what the RMS is so....... well anyway would that amp be to big for 2 of these ...

Hey there. I've got a Jeep with four- 4-ohm 4''x6'' speakers (Polk Momo MMC460's). My head unit recently gave out, and I'm looking at my options. I have an mp3 player with an FM radio, and it seemed to make more sense to replace the head unit with just an amp, because I wont need a radio and I don't use CDs. Would that be more cost-effective ...

Need some help guys. I have the premium JBL navigation system in my 05 sequoia and i just got a set of alpine subs and amp to put in my back hatch area.  i used a schosche adapter to splice into my back door speaker wires so i could run rca jacks from the schosche box to the amp.  now when i turn up the music, the back door speakers ...

im considering building a new system for my 99 tahoe and i need some help i think i want to go with two orion hcca 12.2s which are a 2000W RMS sub i want to get the most out of my amp and i know i can either wire them at 4ohms or 1ohm and i know i definately want to at leased match the rms rating what sub amp combo would work best with them ...

I have bought a 800 Watts RMS at 2 Ohms Mono amplifer, if I only hook up 1 10'' Alpione Type R that is rated at 500 Watts RMS, will this be too much power for the sub?? Or can I turn the gain down and be alright??...help?

I was given an MDX-2642 1200w 2channel 2ohm stable amp and 2 12'' kicker cvr....I have just purchased a pioneer indash p4000 and want to know how to wire the amp so I can have maximum power.

i'm going to get two 12-inch kicker L7's (4-ohm) and run them off of a hifonics 1508d amp (1500 watts @ 1-ohm). i was wondering if i needed a cap or not. if so what size, and what brand would you recommend? and i was wondering if there was anyway to figure what size capacitor you would need with a given amount of ohms. . . ...

Gain, Level, Volume...aren't they the same thing? Everybody knows a volume control makes your music louder (or quieter), so why do there seem to be so many different ways to describe it?  If you're used to dubbing, or if making mixtape cassettes was your thing, you may remember ''level'' has something to do with volume. If you're into car ...

Hey, I took someone's advice and picked up Pioneer DEH-P6000UB. I love the headunit and I have the wirring harness which I was told I needed. I also have dual audio 12'' subs and amp in the trunk pushin 1100 watts max, about 600+/- rms. I was told that when I install the headunit, I would have to bypass the factory amplifier and go ...

Alright, so i bought a Pioneer Premier TS-W1207D4 and a Kenwood KAC-8104D.  The sub is 400RMS 1200 peak and the amp saaays it will do 500rms at 2 ohms.  will i be overpowering?!

Hi All, I couldn't find any posts addressing this issue, but please forgive me if I am re-posting what someone else has already posted. If you own a Nissan with a ''premium sound'' or ''audio fanatic'' package*, replacing your factory CD deck (while retaining all functionality in factory speakers, subwoofer, and amp) requires a special wiring ...

Hey guys here is the situation. I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee that I have done moderate customization to. I want to add big time bass to my truck. Somewhere around 1500 to 2k watts. I love the way Kicker's DS12L7 subs and box combo (2 ohm or 4 ohm, not sure which I should get. Please help...) looks and I think I will go that way. But my ...

i got a total mobile audio amplifier last summer and this last winter it randomly started smoking. so i shut everything in my car down and when i turned it back on a few days later it was fine. but then a couple weeks after that it did it again so i jus let it smoke and now it works fine but i was just wondering why it would do that.

Ok here is the situation. I have two 12W6V2 that i would like to run @ 450-500 watts RMS. NO MORE...... The amp i'm leaning toward is the JL 1000/1 . My question is how do I hook up a thousand watt amp to only get 500 watts to each speaker as to not damage them. If i push the entire 1000 watts will they split it and each take 500? Also ...

i havent used my amp or capacitor in over 2 years, and they were working fine when i took apart my old system. however, i cant just hook the amp up to someone else's ride though because my amp is a crossfire 1000d (runs 500x2 @ 2 ohms, 1000x1 @ 1 ohm rms), and obviously im not just gonna screw up someone elses system. i already ...

I have a kenwood kac 646x amp. I would like to hook up to 4 inside speaker that are already running directly to the radio. I already have a 2 channel amp running my subs. Please help with setup

I have an Alpine CDA-9883, 2 sets of Infinity Reference 6022i's hooked up to a Phoenix Gold 4.100 amp. All of these worked fine until I bought a new Amplifier (MRP-M850) to power my two 12'' 4ohm kicker solobarics (the old Phoenix Gold mono died).  At first everything sounded beautiful the bass was clean and accurate and I loved the ...

So I installed a DVC jl audio 10w6 to a kicker zx 300.1 and there is no output from the subwoofer. I got the sub from a friend so i decided to try and hook it up anyways. The amp is on with a green light stating there are no problems in wiring. I wired the sub to present a 3 ohm load and the amp is stable down to 2 ohms. Any ...
