38.7 is correct! did you unplug the sub from the amp? also the numbers you are getting are the numbers from the h/u if your preout voltage is 2volts then set your gain to 2volts and call it a day! if you need it louder turn it up a bit at your own risk lol!

yes b/c that is the way i did mine! is it correct...maybe but i was never told it was wrong! so today we will both find out if it is correct to do it this way! lol!! just a quick question whihc 3 amps are you running? but even still in the pic it shows the accessories tieing into 1 single point!

how about 2-saz 2000's? strapped they output 4000+ at 2ohm lol!!! and x2 on what notorious from martinique and impious said

sweet!!! make sure to post some pics!!! and thanks for the update

and a smaller box allows you to feed the sub extra power! not sure how much hell nto even sure on the sub or potential amp being used lol!

aww i c! mabye look in the used section! this forum has a for sale section and ppl sell stuff all the time! also check out db-r for a 1500!! at any rate sounds liek you are on your way! feel free to post back or make a new thread! and welcome to ssa! and if you have other question you don't wish to post a question you cna p/m me all and any of your crazy off the way question! trust me i have heard them all lol!! at any rate enjoy your stay!!

dual lol!! good call!! and i am sure there are more brands to aviod lol!! but hey i don't mind jvc and some ppl say to stay away from those!! lol! and another point of the jvc (avx77 mine) is you can have your own background! currently i have a pic of me and my gf (ya i know how cute right) but you can alos put pics of hot chicks nude! if that is how you roll lol!

o yaeclipse forgot about those killer h/u's lol! jsut stay away from pioneer lol!

on the h/u you showed me it says to get the ipod to work you need this cord Kenwood KCA-iP101 (kcaip101) - iPod Adapter at Sonic Electronix - Sonic Electronix and if you already have an ipod you should have this cord already! and it is a nice h/u! as for the amp sundown all the way!! please note this link and the output you can get with the right setup!

sound quality and you aer getting an Fi sub lol! at any rate i believe the jetta can fit both double and single din! so whihc would you like? i would say go with single din as it will be easier to get one due to your small budget!! there aer doulbe dins out there for about 300 but you get what you pay for! on the other hand i curently own a jvc avx77 http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_105KDAVX77/JVC-KD-AVX77.html?search=jvc+avx+77&ssi=0&tp=27995 the ipod functionality is amazing plus you can watch movies on it! lol and it has a usb port and it is fully touch screen! it is a single din and out of your price range by 200~ and less on ebay! i think lol!! other then that i would loook for an alpine smoething h/u!! best bang for yrou buck or a kenwood!! but i believe alpine has better ipod controls! as for an alpine h/u i would recommend the 9886 or 9887 also aer you looking for a used or bnib? http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_500CDA9887/Alpine-CDA-9887.html?showAll=Y&c=3 or http://signature.crutchfield.com/s_500CDA9886/Alpine-CDA-9886.html?showAll=Y&c=3

so you wnat a h/u with a 300$ budget and has to have ipod controls! so i must ask SINGLE or DOUBLE din h/u? and do you want to play movies?

good to hear! and make sure to do some kind a build log showing your setup!! and get that damn big 3 done and a voltmeter to monitor the voltage going into the amp(s) lol!!!

what i was getting at also is that on lower voltage, since most cars can't achieve a constant 14.4volts, you will be running at a lower output which is less power and less current and less deman! so with the 2ohm load, 800wats~, and the big 3 and a decent battery you may be able to get away with no h/o! maybe a secondary battery though would be ideal for your setup for extra reserves to tap into while at a stop sign also please get a voltmeter to monitor the voltage of the voltage going into the amp! b/c one day you never know you could feed it 11volt and guess what no more amp lol! or 10volt keep in mind it would most likey go into protect mode first but some time funny stuff happens at low voltages!

X2 that is like saying will my amp that is rated at 1ohm run a 1.33 ohm load!! more resistance = less current! less current = easier on your cars electrical!!

i never minded using strapped amps in my setup b/c it elimates the gain matching! and i don't know very much alpine the alpine amps and there strapping abilites but i do notice that they are rated at 14.4 volts! lol! i wonder what they can do at 12.8votls?? do you have a clamp meter to see what they are acutally outputting to the sub?

but 2krms at 2ohm.. 2-subs at 2ohm each with 2krms at 12votls he has current potential of 200amps but being at 2ohm... but since he slams it full tilt all the time it will most definitly be hammering the stock alt! either get another battery or h/o alt! i say batteyr since they are cheaper!! but right now he has no alt lol!

got ya d4 subs wired to a 2ohm load with each amp runing 1 sub at 2ohm, since the amps are rated 1krms at 2ohm! so therefore being at a higher ohm load shouldn't require as much guts for the electrical of the car to run it!! this is also kind a why i am going to be runing 2ohm over 1ohm for my next build 4.5krms! it will be less of current draw so less demand!! also i asked the question b/c i wasn't sure if those amps were able to be strapped together to ahieve a 1ohm load!

i say do the big 3 you got nothing to lose if money is an issue just get the stock alt mabye ask if you can beef it up some new bearings and other sutf like that! if your cap reads 12.8 50% of the time once you do the big 3 you will be good to go!! question that alpine is rated at 2ohms...are they strapped? and what are is your total system impedance (resistance)

Will have to do thanks. So the big 3 and another battery would work fine then? Wont be able to answer that question until we know how many amps your alternator puts out i thought he said 105amps? but also know his listening habits would be good to know for example if he only pounds it on the freeway lol no h/o just what you got and the big 3 and call it day! but if he slams it all the time and at stop signs and lights!

i recommend the big 3 and a volt meter for starters and put the volt meter on your dash so you can constandly monitor the voltage if you CONSTANDLY dip into 12.8 or less then another battery would be ideal but BUT if you keep over 12.8 secondary battery isn't needed! in this day and age save money where you can! also what are your listening habbits? slam the music ALL the time? only when cruising on the freeway? while in your drive way with a girl in the back and the car audio at max? lol!

oo when upgrade times come make sure to pop onto here to the sundown section for awesome deals! or message one of the many dealers on here for awesome deals!!!!

worked for me! he beffed all the parts up! and it even looks sexy! lol! and no nto a just a rewind! and the guy builds hot rods with my dad and he is the electrical genious!! i really didnt' get into the full details of what he did but the clamp meter says it worked so i am all for it! not saying everyone is honest or will give you a good upgrade but it worked for me! or maybe b/c i am canadian lol! jk!

o wow none! maybe call your local alt shop and ask about an upgrade to your existing one? it is what i did!! worked out for me pretty good!

lmao i had pioneer on the mind! lmao my bad thanks for the save i meant alpine!
