Forgive the question, I feel like it should be obvious, but I'm very new to all of this. I'm installing an android tablet as a head unit to use for maps/doordashing and music, and my system is pretty simple, a dual channel amp, connected to a bluetooth receiver that will be connected to my...

I recently installed a powered box and obviously had some issues lol. The current thing I am trying to figure out is the volume of the sub. Even with gain and level all the way up, the sub is not nearly loud enough and barely moves. I know the sub can move because I had an earlier issue where...

Hi guys, new here, 1st post. Getting back into car audio after maybe 10years. Trying to do it before my 3rd kid arrives. Just adding a sub into my 2014 Kia Sorento with factory HU with stock speakers for now. My goal, just looking for some low end thump, sq oriented. Not looking to wake up the...

I limited this to 0/1 AWG Cables to maintain perspective I would prefer welding/ battery cables to CCA, especially given the skin effect, but with the amount of money that is spent on your car audio system, the power and ground cables and procedures are not the areas to cut corners especially...

When i installed my second hifonics amp, i started picking up the alternator whine and some buzzing through the speakers. I bought a stinger ground loop isolator and plugged it in between my daisy chained amps, and the whine did not change. So, i grounded the tiny little red wires that were...

When i get out of my car and go to shut the door i get a shock. Is this due to a bad ground on the amp?

Just getting a new KDC-X994 into the dash with a Metra 99-3303 kit. While I was waiting for the kit I had the HU in the back connected with the amps and cross-overs sharing the same ground and power connections, etc. As soon as I moved it up front I noticed an increase in hiss (I never heard...
