CrazyKenKid replied to thebiggmann12's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
as for an ETA: "Pre-sale will be closed on November 15th !" so i am assuming somewhere around that time and the price AUGUST - $250 each SEPTEMBER - $260 each OCTOBER - $270 each NOVEMBER - $280 each so hurry up make your purchase i don't know if you seen this but check it out! -
which amp???
CrazyKenKid replied to thebiggmann12's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
well you could have used a reducer thingy. i forget the name but ya 1/0 is okay to use! but for sure have you seen tthe clamp on the 1500? it is insane also notice that the 1200 used was the v1 and it was putting out nearly 1700rms and the new 1200d v2 is build about 2x time tuffer! so keep that in mind! -
which amp???
CrazyKenKid replied to thebiggmann12's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
i would do it! the 1200d will make so much more power plus the hifonics has like 4gauge terminals and the 1200 has 1/0 terminals!! so there is a plus one! lol! -
congrats!! it looks very clean and nicely build!! you should post some video next!!!! and good job!! lol and the best part is you are powering it with a 125.2 lol!!

there is a mistake! sorry i call them as i see them. first things first double check what they did and if you don't trust yourself get a friend to do it who is car audio savi! car audio is a learning experience! if you don't trust yourself never trust a shop b/c they want to sell you stuff or do it there way and if they do something wrong you will never know b/c you didn't check it out yourself to make sure. and i don't mean to bash your shop or any other shop that is jsut my experience with shops and what i have read about them. and part of the reason why i did all my own installs and what not and i even had a buddy who was audio savi go over some of it to make sure everything was cool lol!! -

well first put it in dc voltage mode and touch it on the positve and neg (power and ground) to see how much of a voltage drop there is, then if you wnat you can set the gian via a dmm by disconnecting the sub and putting the leads of the dmm into the speaker channels and putting the dmm into A/C voltage mode. turn up the gain untill the number reads 31.6 (whihc is 1000rms at 1ohm if that is what you wnat to feed that sub) and i recommend using a 50-60hz tone to set your gain!! and make sure the volume on the h/u is about 3/4 the way up! and enjoy! -
i think i found my answer! can someone please confirm this site? http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/32655/How-to-calculate-the-required-AH-for-ups also i jsut worked it out and here is what i got! 200amp(current)X 0.25(about 15mins of play time) = 50 50/0.9= 55.55 55.55/0.5=110 so i will need 110ah per amp? i think that is wrong though but i need someone to confirm my finding or someone who knwos what is going on thanks for your time Kenneth

well first pull out the harness and make sure make double sure the yellow (ignision wire what ever colour it is for you) isn't barely in there make sure to give it a good tuff. i knwo for me i had to reput my wire back in and resolder it in there so it wouldn't fall out. and if that goes no where do the big 3(since it is required anyways) then if you still have issues look into a new battery or getting your alt looked at. also mabye get a dmm (from a friend) and less see how bad the voltage drop is. just touch the dmm leads tot he pos and neg of the amp on dc voltage mode and report back. as for a new battery just go with watever you can fit, and how much you can afford. if you can afford a lot get a nice battery if not jsut put a new stock one in.!! it is what i did but i also have a bank in my car so ya. -

have you pulled it out and checked the wiring harness to make sure all the wires are firmly in there? so does the face pop off i assume? maybe the issue is when the bass hits the face plate come off then somehow retracts? also you have this issue when the bass is pumping correct? also you siad your voltage drops pretty good? could you please give us a reading with a dmm? b/c to low of voltage is really bad for an amp. and if there is such a low voltage drop were it kills the power to the head unit...ya i don't know lol that jsut sounds like death lol! or faulty wireing some how -
Question on the Signal wiring to Multiple amps
CrazyKenKid replied to smullen's topic in Sundown Audio
couldn't he also just, strap 2 amps together and strape the other 2 amps together and use L side of hte sub preout rca to power 2 of the 4 saz2000's then use the R one to power the other 2? and then get a single rca to go from brain out to brain in on each set of amps? i know if you have 1 out of hte 2 rca plugged in you will have to turn your GAIN up more but it will eliminate the need for Y cables and what not and no need to play around with a MAXX link or anything like that -
Wiring for my amps..
CrazyKenKid replied to Nvr2loud22's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
put a pair of COMPONENT speaker in your doors! or even those HORNE tweeters!!! and give them about 100rms and you will be like woow i can hear the music and the bass!!! and if you need a pair of comps i will be selling mine soon lol!!! -
maybe this is a noob question....
CrazyKenKid replied to chainsaw's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
umm if you turn your key one position forward or backwards it SHOULD turn on your stero allowing you to listen with the car off. if yuo are going to be pounding the BASS i recommend turning on the car though. or maybe you can wire in a switch to turn off the sub and amp so you can listen to the audio without damaging anything due to low voltage drops. -

Capacity (c/20 rate) 48 Cold Cranking Amps 620 Cranking Amps 770 Post Type SAE Post Reserve Capacity 100 umm you might need more CCA (cranking amps lol) maybe get a XS power d3100 or the d2700 d2400 or even the 5100. or a kinetik hc2000 or hc2400!! or 2 of those yellow tops! l;) wait 2000watts or rms? -
