    Amp cutting out

    Capacitors are for the most part totally worthless, what impedance is ur amplifier wired too, little sob's probably going into thermal protection.

    subwoofer wiring on a TJ wrangler

    i dunno what ur exactly doin here.... but for ur amplifier, that thing draws almost no current so run some 12 ga wire from ur battery (dual conductor), put a small inline fuse maybe 5A above what the fuse is on ur amp 12 inches from the battery on the power wire in line like + fuse + just run...

    Acura TL CD player problem.

    Subwoofer noise?

    try running the sub from a different source, like a portable cd player or something, something not pluged into the same outlet, if it stops, u probably got a ground loop, go buy a ground loop isolator from walmart lol its alittle transfomer it will break the loop, try the car audio department

    Bi-Amp vs Bi-Wire my Speakers - Help!

    bi wiring doesnt do anything at all, bi amping does, but like john i really dont think bi amping from ur receiver is gonna do much, but go get another power amp and u might hear a difference i dont know, that also depends on ur ears, u could always run ur midbass drivers off ur solid state...

    Subwoofer wire

    Ok, i was just reading this and id im pretty much stumped by it, are we talking about a signal cable for a powered inwall sub or wire for actually powering the driver, and in either case why would coax cable be what u want, a simple shielded RCA cable should do for signal transfer to an amp, and...

    JBL Northridge Series

    I have an opinion, it seems to me that JBL is going back to more hi fidelity they have been more consumer based in the past few years, but i dont think ull see them at bestbuy anymore, the car audio, its basically non existant online, and anything other than left over Northridge wont be found...

    Insignia 6.5" *coaxial* bookshelf.......50 bucks a pair

    For 35$ id give them a try, but, i dont expect much from those, as far as car audio has been concerned those were the worst build quality drivers i ever put in anyones car, they also were never very sensative, and thats not a good thing because the coil on the midbass driver cant take much heat...

    harman kardon sansui 4 ohm receivers and blowing them

    it will not kill the reciver for god sakes, and just because the speakers can handle 400 watts doesnt mean they need that, if the specs are right they are pretty sensative, the 15 inch driver on that monster can just probably handle alot of heat, if the amp starts clipping ull hear it, and if u...

    harman kardon sansui 4 ohm receivers and blowing them

    first off the impedance of a speaker has little to do with the freq. response, just about any 2 ch recevier wont have a problem driving a pair of 4 ohm speakers, i do alot of car audio and on one old yamaha RX-460 on section A i have a Kicker L5 subwoofer in a 4 cu foot slot ported enclosure, i...

    Buzz coming from speakers - why?

    It's your headunit, for all i know ur ground isnt to good and ur maybe building some kinda static charge.... could be a 100 different things though. Or it could be other things, start trouble shooting.

    Any HiFonics amp owners here?

    Hifonics quality depends on the line u chose, and to Scott, just because u think its a 1 ohm load doesnt mean it is, did u test resistance before u hooked it up, no driver is exactly 4 or 2 ohms, for all u know u were running .75 ohm load, and for the price of the hifonics its hard to beat, it...

    Sat. Radio Audio Level

    If ur using a fm transmitter its the mp3 players fault lol, not anything else called a 1 volt 1/8 out, solution, like voltage gain or in like headphone amp to step up the voltage, or hardwire it, u can use 1/8 to rca's but i dunno if ur head has rca in's, or u can use an antenna plug to dual...

    Audio Sound

    I agree with Thomas, very few stock audio systems no matter how "premium" they are are actually decent. But if u gotta keep it and u want to increase performance by alittle and dont want to do anything complicated, just replace the stock speakers with nice coax speaker, should be a slight...

    Motorcycle Stereo

    the headunit will power speakers(not a cd changer though), most will except very high end ones that tend to be just pre amps as all headunits should be used, the question is will it be loud enough riding, riding motocross for many years u cant hear anything on a bike especially with any sort of...

    FM Broadcasters for portable devices?

    direct connect is the way to go in most cases if not possible FM transmitters are fine, however they are retardly quiet because the ipods 1/8 inch output has about a 1 volt output so either listen quiet which is fine, or put a in line voltage booster or a portable headphone amp or something to...

    First Car - Car Audio Questions

    I have a completely different opinion, never use a head unit to power speakers, they can only power very sensetive speakers anyway, headunits distort tremendously, always go with an external amp even if its something cheap u picked up for 40$ from a pawn shop, a 5 yr old alpine amp rated for...

    older klipsch speakers, corner horns,la scala's etc

    anyone had good experiances with i guess ud say the heritage line of klipsch, i can probably only afford a old pair but old speakers are no worse than new speakers in anyway as long as they arent fried.
