    I've got an aftermarket HU going to a 4 channel amp split to front speakers and rears are bridged to a sub. I play the system loud as it's in a 4 season door/roofless Jeep Wrangler and it's always up against wind/road noise. After about 6 months with this setup, the amp has been shutting off...

    I have installed an HO alternator and 2 XS power batteries under the hood. I have everything fused including the main power wire running to the main fuse block for the vehicle.

    Hey everyone, I will keep this short as possible. With a JP23 amplifier, I've seen it pull 200-300 amps on an amp dyno and produce as much as 2700 watts RMS. With my JP23 amplifier, 640 CCA battery, and 110A alternator of unknown fatigue, I'm seeing around 50 amps pulled through 0-gauge OFC to...

    Hello, I have a 2002 Toyota Celica that I've owned for about 4 years. When I bought the car it had some type of Android knock off dvd player/screen already installed. The same stereo is still in the car, I haven't touched any of the cabling. Now all the sudden, if I leave my car off for more...

    Searched everywhere for a couple days and couldn’t find this specific issue addressed. Should I upgrade my Kinetik AGM with M6 bolts to brass posts? Will the extra surface area from the brass posts help lower resistance, or is the small area the bolt screws down on to going to transfer...

    Not sure what is going on but long story short, I hadn't driven my Passat in about a week (but it was being driven by my wife) but I went to drive it this past Sunday, I noticed my subwoofers weren't working.

    My headlights flicker a little when playing bass-heavy songs. I have a Kicker 43CXA6001 amp (link to Crutchfield) and was wondering if a cap or second battery would strain the alternator more. The gain isn't quite turned up a quarter of the way. I drive a 2016 Civic Sedan and getting a new...
