good vid keep up the good work just a tip for the toggle switch you can find an 12 v aux wire on the rear of the ignition this saves the amp getting left on when 1 forgets to flick the toggle switch off
y dont you start a audio hook up type of thing
Dude
Got a problem. I’m running two amp’s with very limited air space. What would be the best way to keep them cool. I thought about running a water cooled fan. It’s a closed sys that would not leak. Or shoutld I just make a rack and mount a couple fans, one blowing on the amps and on as the exhaust? Let me know what you think.

i have a toggle switch, i think its better to use one because for when you dont want bass you can just turn the amp off opposed to haveing your remote wire hooked up to your radio
make a video on how to install the equalizer. .
what should i do: one 15″ and 420 rms at 2ohms one channel. or two 12″ at 420 rms at 2ohms one channel? would that make each 12, 210 rms?
if you look at my videos my whole system got took at work and i want another 1 how can i keep it from gettin took again and i have an alarm system
hey dude is sound barrier a good amp!!
let me ask you a question man. . . i got an apline 9886 cdplayer an when i got the special made wiring harness for my car it didnt come with the red (power) wire. . . well my cd player has one. . . . i ran it to a fuse just to get it to work. . . . is there anything better than i can do with the red power wire from my cd player ??? thank you
@EXOabigdeal With that guys psu proberlms theres no way that the 12volt rail on the psu has enough amperage to power that amp when he starts turning it up it will light up the amp and may put it a little amount of power but its not enough the most amperage i seen for a psu is 36amps and thats on a 1200 watt psu and thats peak not rms im just wondering wether a cap could help to stabilize the load probs not
i got 2 10 inch mtx thunder 6000 with 2000 watt amp with a blown amp and it still bumps and only payed about 150 tottal for all of it
Tyler00rm250@ high level input is like speaker wire, say if you ran speaker wire from your speakers to your amp that is where you would connect it. Low level input is the red and white RCA cables, if you have an aftermarket headunit, there will be outputs on the back for these cables to connect to your amplifier. They both do the same thing but the low level might sound a bit better!
what is a high or a low level imput. i have a high level imput and i have know idea what the heck it is. please tell me.
ok so amps have watts number right how do you match a sub with the amp i might sound dumb as fuck but im new and need some good help u seem to know what ur talkin about and also i want more clear sound out of my speakers and more bass power in the back so i was thinking anathor alpine type r 10″ but i dont know what amp to get to power both or just get one more to bower that comment or messege me back thanks
@jonathanwallace18 I THINK that if they are dual voice coil you can wire them in series and cut them to 2ohm. . . . . BUTTT you lose half of you’re power handling and clarity
@jonathanwallace18 that is like the same situation i have going on, three twelves just like that
What is exo contralto, what does it stand for?
@jonathanwallace18
hey man, if you have the ability to wire
he 4 ohm speaker down to 2 ohms that
might work. search “subwoofer wiring” on
youtube. If your speakers are high end enough
it should do the trick.
I don’t think that would fix it but it might.
i have 3 12’s 2 of them are 2ohm and the other is a 4ohm, i dont know how i got them wired but they work but the 4 is moving slower, if i change the 4ohm to a 2ohm would that make a big difference. please give me a answer
as far as im aware, you can parallel PSUs the same way you can car batteries with no side effects. . . . the only problem is if you try to series them! The whole car amp home setup thing is a tricky one as you only ever seem to max about 11. 8v with PSUs, rather than 13. 5 from the car batteries, so youre gonna loose some RMS there. . if only there was an easy way. . .
Lol you put your heads together Wink Wink Nudge Nudge.
For whoever is wondering about the psus. please do not connect 2 at one time. I’ve experimented with that before. one of the psus will blow up.
buy 0gauge off knukonkepts its cheap as fuck and doesnt give u alot of plastic
i have the same subs 2 12s in a 5. 0cube box tuned 32 hz sounds good
just thought i would comment, ive had that problem before with my car, but instead of using a jumper, i found a 12v switched lead behind the fuse box and tied into that, also i tied into the wire harness for the factory sub amp to get signal for my subs (i took the factory subs and amp out)
