amp help

I have an amp and subs in my car. The amp power light blinks and subs stop working and it goes in and out when music is played. I made sure all the connections were solid, Checked fuses. Not sure where to go from here! Any recommendations?

I’ve recently purchased a pre build box with two twelve inch subs at 4 ohms and 500 watts with a JL audio 500/1 amp for my challenger. I also have a line out converter since I have a factory head unit. I have absolutely no idea how to tune the amp and would appreciate some recommended settings.

Got a brand new Kenwood amp and the red triangle light stays on even when I turn my car off. Is that bad ?

Ok first and foremost I'm Brett new to this site and very green in terms of knowing much about the car stereo world but very intrigued.  Ok I have tons of questions but first is how can I find more information on an Alpine MRV-F250? When looking it up it takes me to MRP-F250 assuming that is...

I bought my first job the other day. Been looking for an amp to power it. It says 50–350 RMS at 4 ohms. I can't seem to find a good amp or I must be confused. I'm only powering one sub and I know it's a single Voice coil at 4 ohms. Any help on amp suggestions would be great. Also to mention...

I have been lurking here for a while and have already learned a lot from you guys. I am about to try an install that is a little more complicated than anything else I have tried before and need som advice. I am trying to swap out the factory amp (not a Bose system) in my 2009 Cayman and need...

Hi, I had a question. If Anyone could help Me out with this I'd greatly appreciate it. Ok, So I had a subwoofer hooked up with an amp in my Scion Tc. The speaker tore, no longer good so I took out the Sub but didn't do anything with the amp. I didn't disconnect it or anything. This was about 4...

Like the title says.. Im wondering which is better. The shark is only $320 while the retail price of the CT sounds 3000.1D is $1,000. The shark is rated for much more and I watched a dyno of the shark where it met its ratings. I can get a CT3000.1D for $500 used, or get a new Shark 3500.1D ...

My amp keeps going into protect mode every time I get to a certain volume level. Depends on the song where that is. But say i turn my head unit up to "25" and it goes off, all i have to do is turn it down to "24" and it comes back on. Does it all the time. I can turn it up to a certain level...

So I have a Boss CE 4800w amp powering a power Akoustik mofo 152x that I have been using for about 2 years now. However one day while i was driving a heard a pop and hissing noise coming from the negative battery terminal on the amp. I tried re-wiring that terminal and what ended up happening...

My current system Im running right now is 2 JL Audio 10w7s and what I have pushing them is 2 Kicker 750s. Look at photos to get a better idea and if need be I can post a video of it. I want to find out if these amps are fine and get the job done or if I might need to upgrade to a single bigger...

i just bought the alpine SWR-12D4 rated to 1000 RMS , I'm having trouble deciding which amp to pair with this sub because alpine says it can take up to 1000 rms but a lot of people are saying this sub is overrated and is probably closer to the previous model with 600 rms, i don't want to...

Hello C.A community! I've been browsing these forums for past week and finally decided it was time to post. Some background information: I'm in the process of my first sound system build taking place in a 1999 honda civic sedan. I primarily listen to electronic music such as trance and techno...

Ok so I have a JL 360/4 amplifier. My rear right speaker tweeter started distorting, like a staticy noise at certain frequencies. So i figured it was a blown speaker since they were getting old. Replaced the speaker, same problem. So i swapped the rca's around on the input side of the amp, and...

I found my way to these boards out of desperation, but I'm hoping to stay since it seems rather neat. In any case, I installed my new sound system into my truck a little over a week ago, and it was running great until two days ago. I just turned the truck on, and I noticed if I turned up the...
