wiring

Would it be possible to run to amps of 10 power wire? I have looked it up on the internet and have been getting mixed responses some people are telling me that you can if you have the right gauge wire and other people are saying never to do this so I'm wondering if it is possible and if it is...

The title is pretty self-explanatory for this thread. Just wondering what everyone's take is of the different brands of amp kits out there. I only ask because of a crappy install I had done at Oxford Auto Sound (in Toronto) in which they used a generic off-brand to wire my system in my Civic...

Ok so here is a weird one for you guys. Just recently one of the channels on my 4 channel alpine amp seems to cut out. when it does it is accompanied by some very loud static by its paired speaker. The weird part is it fixes itself if i hit the lock/unlock button on my door panel. Not...

I'm kinda a noob and I was wondering if there is a way to wire my 3 kicker svc comps to one 2 channel amp without damaging the amp. I know it can be done with dvc subs but what about svc.Also as Ill advised as it is, two of them are 12s and one is a 10, I've seen it done at a few car shows and...

Can an oxidized power and ground wire cause an amp to turn on but not play sound? Because the amp I have hooked up right now, the light indicating that the amp is on is on and the protection light is not but I'm not getting any sound or anything going to any of the two speakers or subwoofer...

Ok, so pretty much what is in my signature sums up everything I have purchased so far for my 1st every sound system. I'm not sure what to buy next really. People have been saying amp kits, wiring, RCA's, but I'm unsure of what I need or should buy for good SQ. I apologize, but this is the...

I've recently upgraded my car's audio system from my old car. It's been a year since I've used it, but nothing is different other than the car. I've recently obtained another sub, but before I hooked the new one up I realized my amp was getting severely hot, not just the moderate warmth it used...

I have 2 10 inch JL subs (10WXv2-4), and a Kenwood KAC-8105D amplifier and it shows two different ways to wire and it is really confusing me.. So first what amount of ohms will be better for me? And what ever one you prefer can you please show me a diagram on how to wire it? Thanks

Alright my first question about capacitors! 1) What is a farad? 2) Do you want more farads? 3) what is the cheapest but yet reliable capacitor to buy?? 4) I don't have any wires to the capacitor, and do I just use the amplifier install kit wires? I have a scosche 500k micro farad capacitor...

Attempted to put in a new radio yesterday, I didn't know they made connectors for the old factory wiring to the new so I cut and crimped the wires together in accordance to how a connector I bought afterwards showed the wires. I turned the car on with everything set up how it should and there...
