When I first hooked up this system I had it at 2 ohm's with 2 10's and I could drive both amps it a lot harder but it would still clip at very high volume. Now with three subs i can get more bass but I can't keep it and turn up the 4 channel too without it choking out. Basically I can crank one amp ...

What's happening is that if I turn up my sound on the 4 channel amp I can start adding bass with the lpl knob but the system will turn on and off very quickly when the bass hits. I can't add much bass to it when the 4 channel is cranked up but if I turn down the volume on the four channel I can add ...

What do you think of this? :arrow: when the BassCUBE was designed, the engineers didnt realize that a standard phone cable is what we call a "flipped cable", where if you were to lay the cable flat without any twists in it, on one end the connector would be tab up, and the other end would ...

the Mechman 270 amp alternator (30411162-00) for my truck is $400 + shipping. Looks like a quality item and I'm considering it. Would you run a fuse on the charge wire to the battery? They also sell batteries that put out 16 volts and say Powering your system with 16 Volts can increase the output of...

ttocs I appreciate your input and I did really like the pics I looked at about this lug. It def is jewelry.

If I hook it up to the optima or stinger battery Will use the XScorpion gold plated finish ring terminal style battery terminal. It doesn't say what size the screws are. I would think 5/16
