Channel Amplifier is great. I don’t know what else to say. I was amazed at the quality of Channel Amplifier and highly recommend that you take a look and see for yourself.
How do i know if I can use a bass controller for my sony xplod xm-GTR2022 1,200 watt 2/1 channel car amplifier?
I have the sony xplod 1200 watt amp in my car a i just bought a bass controller for it but i am not sure if i can hook it up to my amp. I bought the PEQ punch equalizer remote.

if your amp does not have the “telephone jack” on it you can use your RCAs but the one you bought will not work http://www.sonicelectronix.com/viewcat.php?category_id=46&sort_order=price_asc
What you need is a pair of RCA splitters ! 1F-2M style..Two of these will get you out of trouble:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J3I66S?ie=UTF8&tag=deccomcarauda-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000J3I66SJust attach them to the amp, then plug your 2 RCA into them
Easy ! And for $2 each they’re almost free :O
It will. You can push up to 1500 into that beast, and the amp will go as low as 2 ohms, so a 4 won’t be a problem.
I take it your adding the tweeters to another set of coaxials. Just buy a component set. It would make it easier. Or depending on the amp, it may not put as much strain it at 2ohms as you would think, but if it is a cheap amp, your best bet is to get a 4ohm load. If you want a different way to do it, you can drive your coax speakers off the amp at 4ohms and drive the tweeters off the headunit’s front 2 channels at 4ohms. The tweeters dont need an excessive amount of power to run, just be sure to use the crossovers with the tweeters, otherwise it will emit damage to the tweeters. good luck
What kind of amp is it and how many watts RMS. Peak power is meaningless, especially for subs as peak is usually around 20,000 hertz. Secondarily, what kind of subs are they?Like the other guy said, just match up the max RMS handling with the RMS power from your amp for maximum performance.
Most of the time you want to match the RMS not the peak because once you clear the RMS your going to automatically clear the peak, The main problem with most people they want to turn the gain of an amp over half way,You are never suppose to do this, its bad for the amp and a speakers as long as you keep this in mind and stay with end your RMS you should be ok…And use 4ohms with everything this way it will last as long as you own your vehicle and nothing will blow!
Yes you can, but you will need one of the following:-A 4 channel amplifier that accepts speaker level inputs.-A speaker level to line level (RCA) adapter. This will go between the stock deck and the amplifier, they usually have an attenuation adjustment so you can set the output level.MikeCLook into JL Audio…they make products specificly for adding amps into a factory system. They even correct the poor frequency curves of the stock system.http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_cleansweep_pages.php?page_id=94
Are you just wiring 1 sub to a 2 channel amp? What ohm load are you tryin to get? You can go here and look up sub wiring.Edit: Why not just wire it to mono? http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard.asp?submitted=true&woofer_qty=1&woofer_imp=3
I’ll keep this simple….don’t even attempt to do all that with one amp. you will f**k stuff up lol that task has to be done with 2 amps. one 4 channel amp and one 5 channel amp. plain and simple that’s how it’s gotta be done.
RCA ‘Y’ adapters.
500 watt speakers?send me the link to these and ill help you out,but i think you should get an amp for your speaker then another one for your subs
I am not an AV specialist but would not a switch/selector be a better idea. I am pretty sure I have seen speaker switches/selectors (like Video switches/selectors) before. Most electronic stores will have them. You can just connect the two amps (sorround and stereo) to the switch/selector and switch/selector to the speakers.
Obviously u can use.2 channel is the best…Pioneer GM-5400T 760-Watt, 2-Channel Power AmplifierTechnical Details- Two-channel car amplifier with 760-watt max power capability- Delivers 125 watts x 2 at 4 ohms, 380 watts x 1 at 4 ohms, or 190 watts x 2 at 2 ohms- Selectable low-pass filter (80 Hz, 12 dB per octave)- Preamp- and speaker-level inputs for connecting to most source units- Bass boost with level controlhttp://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-GM-5400T-760-Watt-2-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B001NFFYWK/?tag=knapaaai-20@@@
First off, don’t go by max or peak power. This is an arbitrary number wih no real means of measuring power.RMS power is what to use when determining power.With that, you need either a mono or 2-channel amp. If you go with a mono amp AND the subs are single coil 4 ohm, get an amp that matches the RMS of both subs combined at a 2 ohm load and wire the subs like this – http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j230/sparky3489/PARALLEL.jpgORGet a 2-channel amp that matches the RMS watts of each sub per channel at a 4 ohm load and wire each sub to each channel.Look for CEA-2006 compliant amps.More info here http://spkrbox1.spaces.live.com
You cannot safely hook up a single subwoofer to a four channel amp, on all four channels, no matter what. This is a terrible idea. Four channel amps were not made to be subwoofer amps. Use it for your interior speakers, and get a real sub amp.
I totally agree with the previous two answers. The one down side with the HTIB (Home Theater in a Box) systems is that once you purchase it you’re really limited with upgrades (in terms of audio). This means you can’t do the following:1) Usually can’t improve the wiring between the speakers and reciever (unless you splice the original wiring–not suggested. Actually, I’ve seen a lot more HTIB systems which no longer provide speaker cable. 2) Usually HTIB systems only have one AUX input…So what happens when you want to buy that new HD DVD Player with HD sound, but your AUX is already hooked up to your Cirus satalite radio? Yes, you could just change out the inputs every time you decide to use either of the componets, but that could easily become a pain after a short amount of time. 3) HTIB doesn’t give you the leverage to switch out better components as time goes by. If one is all, and all is one, what happens when your receiver blows out when you decide to switch out the front bookshelf speakers with the new tower speakers you bought from Best Buy? Not only do you loose a receiver, but you’ll lose the rest of the components too. 4) Definitely can’t switch out or upgrade the speakers. The speakers you usually get with the HTIB system are usually the speakers you’re going to have to stay with. This is because the speakers and receiver in an HTIB system are molded for each other…meaning if you were to take out the front two speakers and replace them with two newer speakers that are of different brand and size, you may get an off-balanced sound environment. You could also blow out the receiver due to different power requirements for the new speakers.To answer your question of whether or not you’d be able to produce the same quality of sound as the pre-made theater system, the answer would be yes, if not better…much better. Lastly, the only good advice I ever got was to buy good speaker wire. I won’t go into detail as why this should be done (just google it), but it definitely effects the quality of sound.

Using a 5 channel amp is a good idea.You will use less wire,and all in one chassis design.A 5 channel amp will also have a lot of tuning adjustments like crossovers and eq as well.Also they tend to put lots more power.http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/JH805_amp.cfm ratedhttp://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/amplifiers/RFL805_amp.cfm too. http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/ http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps.php?amp_id=256 http://mobile.jlaudio.com/products_amps.php?amp_id=481
a mono amp would be best for that setupinfo needed to PROPERLY match amps and speakersthe subs voice coil setup (DVC or SVC)the subs impedance (ohms)the final impedance at the amp (how the subs are wired)the number of substhe subs size the subs RMS (continuous) wattage
The number of channels is the number of different signals an amp can handle at once. You can put multiple speakers on one channel if you match the ohms correctly, but if you do that they will all play the exact same sound and you will not be able to adjust their volume independantly.So if you ran a two channel amp with four speakers, you could get stereo sound but the front to back fader would not work correctly. You would need a four channel amp to send amped power to all four speakers.Most recordings are designed to be listened to with the speakers in front of you, so powering just the back speakers will make the “staging” less effective. That means that the instruments won’t sound as if they are coming from the right places. Usually the sound quality is best if you put your best and loudest (non-subwoofer) speakers at the front of the car.
It depends on what “ohm stable” the amplifier is. If the amp is “2 ohm stable” that means you can wire 2 speakers to one pair of terminals if those speakers are 4 ohm speakers, because the “effective” impedance will be 2 ohms at the amp in that case. If the speakers are 8 ohms impedance, then likewise, wiring them both to the same terminals will yield a 4 ohm impedance to the amp. Most amps are rated at least 4 ohm stable, some down to 1 ohm stable. So it really depends on the amp and what impedance the speakers are. However, if you have a pair of 4 ohm speakers, and you wire them in parallel to the same speaker terminal pair, and if the amp is only a regular “4 ohm stable” amp, then you risk burning up the amp because the amp will see 2 ohms, and will try to push a lot more power through the speakers than it is capable of.
