How come people INSIST on giving me directions even after I tell them I have a navigation system in the car?

Yup. Just be sure the current consumption is less than 200mA. If the load exceeds this, you can use a relay controlled by the REM from the HU and have the relay control fans and REM on the amp. Be sure the fans are 12VDC brushless for no noise.

Why does my Panasonic cd player skip whenever my subwoofers produce hard bass?


I'll do you one better. If you know someone good with electronics, I have a schematic for an automatic thermal controlled fan. The fans start when the amp reaches a predetermined tempurature.

Well does my FM not work while my AM does?

How do you sister two cvr kicker subs to bring the ohms from 2 to 4-8 ohms?

Yes, you can do that with no problem. Just be sure that you have the polarity right or they will run backwards. Also make sure that they are 12V case fans and not 5V

How much inches dia shold i cut out of the board to fix a 10"sub.?

No because PC fans run at about 5v. They'll fry and since you're trying to preserve an amp, you should do it correctly. The best fix is to simply buy the fan that has the correct voltage, but to suggest that would be silly. Converters have come down in price considerably, so you may want to invest in a small, 10 dollar device that'll give you an 110v outlet in your car. Next, fina a transformer marked 5V. Everybody has one, look and you'll find it. Solder the fan or fans into the transformer and you'll accomplish two things. It's cool having an outlet in your car; no more cell chargers for the car and home, charge laptops, etc. Good luck.

What do you think about the kicker 15inch L7?

I am trying to install a sirius radio in a 2001 Mercury Sable that has a cd player and radio. Any tips?

You sure can... but as already stated make sure its 12v not 5v... I know this because I run them all the time for cooling. simple but effective
