    RPM's dropping when the bass hits..

    I just spoke with the guy who insstalled my system and he seems dead set on this diode isolator. https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_61067_Stinger-S2402.html Seems like I'm SOL on this one.

    RPM's dropping when the bass hits..

    So would you wire the two batteries in parallel to each other?

    RPM's dropping when the bass hits..

    I have a follow up question if you don't mind. I happen to have a spare Kinetic HU 1200 BLU. If I had that added to the system would that help at all? Also, I was talking with my installer (I've never done a multiple battery set up and quite frankly I don't feel like dying today haha) he said...

    RPM's dropping when the bass hits..

    I'm not sure if this is the right section so I apologize.. I have a 240 amp mechman alternator and a kinetic 1800 battery as well as the big 3 upgrade. I'm running 2 FI Alphas on a Rockford Fosgate 1200 and 4 door speakers on a Rockford Fosgate 250. At idle the rpms drop (roughly 300 rpms give...

    RF 1200 going into protect mode..

    That makes sense. I have a smaller Kinetic HU 1200 that I could put in the trunk. With the 240 amp, the kinetic 1800 in front and a Kinetic 1200 in the back...how much power could that handle? I was thinking of adding a 2nd Rf 1200..one for each sub. Of course I wouldn't be playing this with the...

    Which way should your subwoofers face?

    I was watching a few videos online today and I notice some popular channels (exo and ect) had their subs facing in with the magnet inside the box facing the trunk and the cone towards the driver. Other videos had the cone facing the trunk with the magnet in the box facing the driver. Is their a...

    voicecoil wiring options

    I just bought a pair of FI Alpha 12's. They're single 2 ohm. As with most sub amps..my RF 1200 has one channel with 2 + outputs and 2 - outputs. To get a one ohm load can I use both + outputs to both subs and both - or will I have to use one + output and run a wire from the positive on 1 sub to...

    RF 1200 going into protect mode..

    I looked up the specs for this rf 1200 and requires a 150 amp fuse holder. The rf 250 4 channel only requires a 50 amp. I think the amps kits a bought had a 80 and 100 amp fuse holder respectively. Would a fuse holder that's not strong enough causes these issues? I'm just trying to narrow down...

    RF 1200 going into protect mode..

    I'll check the grounds this weekend when I get time. What are the chances the amp is bad? I had to penny pinch a little bit to get that amp..I'm in the army we don't make that much. I bought it brand new and had it shipped so hopefully it isn't a bad amp or broke during shipping.

    RF 1200 going into protect mode..

    I bought a new RF 1200 to replace my hifonics amp. When I installed it(with out speaker wires or rca's. Just to verify it would turn on) it immediately went red, into protect mode. I plugged the old hifonics back in and didn't have any issues..powered right up, again without speaker wire or...

    Tuning help. System isn't sounding the greatest...

    Sounds like I'm going to either swallow my pride and have a shop fabricate a custom double din set up or or hope in don't screw up my car too much trying it. I wish I could have that orion. I saw the video where Steve Meade and BigDWiz tested it and it put out what 2600 watts. That might blow...

    Tuning help. System isn't sounding the greatest...

    I wish I could get a HU but replacing the radio in tl acuras is a little out of my DIY range. In addition I'd lose my steering wheel controls, navigation and back up camera. I'd have a blank screen sitting there above the new HU. How would I go about testing distortion from the factory radio...

    Tuning help. System isn't sounding the greatest...

    This is somewhat long winded but here it goes. I have a 08 Acura TL. I'm using a audio control LOC with the factory deck and using my phone as the music source. The RCA's are running to a hifonics 1200 (soon to be a Rockford Fosgate prime 1200 in a few days) and a Rockford Fosgate prime 4...
