Question about the Alt (+) to battery (+) connection. Doesn't the stock wire from the alt (+) go to the starter & ignition then to battery (+)? Would running an additional wire directly from the alt (+) to battery (+) cause problems for the stater or ignition? Sorry havent had time to go...

Try tapping into a switched line like the radio fuse in your fuseblock and run that wire to the remote of your amp(s) as a test. Like whats been said its possible the voltage from your HU remote is dropping too low and your amp is cutting out. Perhaps run a relay to your amps if this is the...

These will be going in the front stock locations of an 01 Montero Sport. I'm looking at either these RAINBOW SLX 265's or these Image Dynamics CTX65CS. My budget has to stay south of $200. I'll be hooking them up to my Zapco AG1000 w/ my gains dialed down. I listen to more classic rock, top...

Yeah thanks. Just bought a X693 as it seemed to be the best compromise of options. Most people seem happy with it and its not too $$. My Eclipse HU is crapping out, no output on the left channel so needs to go.

Ok, been googling HU's til my eyes fell out. I'll get used to the EQ's in HU's nowadays I suppose as thats what is out there. Anywho, so now the priority is a HU that has good controls for an Ipod & USB drive. Been looking at the Excelons, that X693 seems nice and some Clarions, such as...

Thanks for the replies. This is the deal, I had an Alpine CDA-something that was just too much of a p.i.t.a. for me if I wanted to adjusted treble,midrange or bass. I had to toggle thru menus to get to eqs that themselves were a pita to try to adjust while driving. As life goes that HU got...

Not a big fan of complex, many sub-menued eq controls, just would like seperate bass and treble controls that can be adjusted while driving, its a car after all. This is what I need in a HU: Play Ipod/Iphone3g, usb thumb drive a plus. Play mp3 cd's   3 preamp out , front,rear,sub. Want 4V...

Hard to find any info on this amp. Anybody out there running one that could provide feedback?

Have been rethinking amp choice and maybe stretch budget a bit. How about this Clarion DPX 2551 or this Arc Audio FD 2200? Even considering the Sundown 125.2 since I read so many great things about it, just looking for a deal. Edit: anyone familiar with this Elf?

This still available by chance?

Been looking at this amp to power some CDT components. Trying to stay below $150 and would like 100-150w x2 rms for the amp. I realize its not going to be awesome but don't have the budget to spend on car audio as I used to. Or any suggestions at this price point?

Possibly, what kind of offer did you have in mind?

Here are a few pics I just shot. It could be a fun project to repair if someone has any idea of where to get the resistors & how to find out their values, etc. PM or post the specs of your amp & what $ you want. I've been eyeing one of these to replace this amp for the components.

So I have an old school 2 channel US Amps, model US-250C or US-2500 hard to make out last digit. It stopped working some time ago & recently I took off the bottom panel for shits & giggles. Anywho, I see a few burnt resistors that are the obvoius problem & was wondering if its...
