    Rockford Fosgate Type RF X7A 1500W Mono Amp ???

    The Type RF's were discontinued last year, however they were a step above the Power series (not the new ones). Think of the X7 as a BD1500 with a little more power and ran cooling.

    Fosgate Type RF series "x.*" amps?

    I had five of them, they were great amps; clean, powerful, very easy to setup, and I got them all at great "EBAY" prices. However the only reasons I sold them was due to the fact they were too big for my setup. I have an active three way up front, I couldn't fit them all in my trunk and still...

    Tips to avoid getting jacked

    From my experience, most thieves are people you know. A good deterrent for receivers is to show people that you're taking the faceplate out of the car instead of hiding it in the center console or glove compartment. They might be kind of big, but it's better to have it in your pocket (or purse...

    Cda 9835 Help!

    Do you have the Components Bi-Amped or are they running with the passive crossover? For the Deck, 1=6db slope, 2=12db slope, 3=18db slope, and 4=24dbslope. The 24db slope would work good for the highpass on the fronts. A lighter slope like 12 or 18 could help blend the subs with the mids a...

    Think I'm Gonna Be Jealous?

    Most likely. I've used my 403a on a sub and it sounded wonderful, but you may be jealous because he has a shiva. The shiva is really effecient and the added effeciency of ported box will come to play as well. You have a powerful amp, but with your Kicker being a little ineffecient compared to...

    anyone with alpine cda-9815? help!

    Make sure the crossover slope is on. 0=full range, 1=6db slope, 2=12db slope, 3=18dv slope, and 4=24db slope. If the value is 0, no matter what frequency you have it set at, it will still play full range. I know you're interested in the EQ, but the crossover is going to eliminate the harmful...

    MTX 4ch Flexibility?

    The amp has separate EQ settings for front and rear. You can use the boost for the rears only if you need to. They are pretty versatile. There are others, but with sticking with the ones you've chosen, they will suit you now and when you upgrade.

    Active Crossovers - AudioControl?

    The AudioControl 6XS is a good unit. It has a bandpass for the mid, and a level control for the lowpass output.

    Worth it to sell xtant for a zapco?

    Most retailers that have dropped them use the name and power as an excuse. My friend is a manager at Ultimate Electronics here in Las Vegas, NV. For example, they found it difficult to sell a 50x4 Xtant versus a 100x4 Fosgate for around the same price. They both had the same fuse values, so...

    yellow top red top

    The red top is a GOOD starting battery but it's not deep cycle like the yellow top. The red should be used only when you need a starting battery or if you have two. If you have a good stereo and only want one battery, the yellow top is the answer. Because they are different, an isolator is a...

    yellow top red top

    Yellow tops are deep cycle batteries. Red tops are are really good starting batteries. Many people use just a yellow top if they're using only one battery; if two or more are used, then a red top is up front and the yellow(s) are in the back for the stereo. The blue ones are deep cycle as...
