I got a new sub and im looking for an amp powerfull enough to give the sub max power, its a jaycar response 250wrms subby. At the moment i have a shitbox boss 1000w Amp powering my 6x9's and sub(bridged) What would be a good amp to buy without spending much. Im on a limited budget :D

What price ranges can i expect.

Theres a top-of-the-line jaycar 350w rms (@ 4 ohm) monoblock amp (for subs) thats around $400 (less if you shop around). For a new amp, that comes with lots of options including a remote for bass control, thats pretty darn good. If you can get it for $300 or so i'd highly recommend it.

I do them for forum buddies for around $256. :(

Fhrx, i've got 1 little problem though..

At the moment i have 1 1000watt boss amp, and 1 500watt kenwood amp. The kenwood amp is only powering my crossovers (using 2 channels, i think) and the boss amp is powering my sub and 6x9's. What would you recommend i do?

a) Take the 500watt kenwood amp out, buy a 2channel Audison to power my sub, and use the boss to power 6x9's and fronts?

B) Throw the boss away and use the kenwood for 6x9's and fronts?

Would the gain in sound be worth the money i would spend to get another amp? I've also got to consider installation fee's because i have no idea on how to wire an amp :(

Say i did buy the Audison amp, would u be able to wire the stuff up for me? Let me know, because i will be doing something about my setup in the next few months..

Audison SRx2 Two Channel Amplifier

Ideal for factory sound systems, SRx 2 insures uncommon functionality and performances.

65w RMS x 2 (4 Ohms) - 85w RMS x 2 (2 Ohms) - 170w RMS x 1 (4 Ohms)

that would be around the same amount my boss amp is powering, have i got the right info?

If thats the case, there wouldnt be much of an increase? Someone correct me if im wrong.

Boss 1000watt and Kenwood 500 watt? Remember one thing you have to realise that those amps are only outputting a fraction of their quoted power. A serious 1000 watt amp will be nearly a meter long usually.

Disciple, are you open to suggestions regarding your system dude? If you don't mind me saying, this is what I'd suggest you do.

1. Put the $300 to one side.

2. Sell both your existing amplifiers.

3. Buy a single quality powerful amplifier (something like an Audison SRx3).

4. Run your fronts and sub with the above amp ( 75 RMS to each from and 250 RMS to the sub).

5. Run the rears off your deck.

There you go. Once you have thrown in some sound deadening to strenghen up the front stage sound and quality cable to interconnect the entire thing, you'll have a beautifuly crisp sounding clean system that can blow your head off every now and again. :(

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
