    Looking for small but powerful 2 channel amp

    Well nothing comes to mind that's that small and powerful, I know Xtant has a small full range mono amp but for stereo use he would need a pair of them. Other than linear power, that navone amp, and that xtant mono, I can't think of anything right now. Actually come to think of it, the zapco...

    Looking for small but powerful 2 channel amp

    Check out linear power, they specialize in high power, high sound quality amps that are tough as nails and very small. You can't find them new anymore (doubt he would want to pay new prices anyway), but you can find them on ebay quite often. My 2.2hv is physically the smallest amp I own and it...

    Bridge-able amps and tri-mode?

    1. I don't see why they wouldn't, the amp could care less what you have attached as long as you aren't trying to draw more current than it can handle. So as long as your sub is a minimum of 4ohm, your speakers are a minimum of 2ohm, and you have a passive crossover to split the signal between...

    I have an arc 2100cxl on my tweets It's a nice amp, I would put them above PG, roughly equivalent to the Zapco Ref but below the Zapco c2k. I enjoy my LP more than the Arc, but unfortunately LP isn't making amps anymore, so the only way to get one is used. oh, and Arc's CS kicks ass

    Polarity Question for replacement speakers

    See if you can find a wiring diagram for the car online, that will tell you which of the factory wires is + and which is -. Or if you cut the wire running to the stock speaker when you pulled it out, you can do the battery method on the stock speaker and see which color wire is + and which is -...

    Alpine CDA-9835 questions

    no I'm in 3-way mode, the front output is highpassed at 3.2k, the rear output is bandpassed from 63-3.2k, and the sub output is lowpassed at 63. It works great for that, but if you were to run an active 3-way front stage (tweet, midrange, midbass, and then a sub), then the tweet could run from...

    Suitable amp for splits?

    no such thing as too much power, headroom is a good thing :)

    reasons for an amp to go into "protection"

    Even then it wouldn't matter. With nothing connected to the amp's output you could crank the gain to max, drive it well into clipping, and then just let it sit there for hours. With nothing connected there's no current leaving the amp, which means there's no heat buildup regardless of the output...

    the eD Kv2s are nice subs, the IDQs are nice, and the new Arc KAR subs are pretty impressive little buggers too

    Alpine CDA-9835 questions

    Just to add, I've been running my 9835 in 3 way mode using every filter it has available ( :) ) and I've never run into playback issues. It is a little annoying that the rear output can't be highpassed any higher than 250 so it's hard to run an active 3-way front stage using the 9835 as the...

    Best speakers <$500

    those both look like nice speakers, I'll check them out, thanks A friend recommended this setup, anyone have any experience with it? granted you have to build your own cabinets for them, but I've built more complicated things than that so it shouldn't be a problem edit: looks like I have...

    Best speakers <$500

    So I'm a pretty big car audio freak but never really dabbled much into HT. I'm really interested in putting together a nice stereo in the future and just want some advice or suggestions. Currently I have a 5 disc cd changer, and a 100x5 receiver (I don't know the brand, I'm off at school and...
