Question:
Here are my component options. I got two 1200 W 2 channel amps.
Is my factory-installed receiver good enough to power my new speakers?
2 X 250 RMS 4 Ohm, 2 X 300 RMS 2 Ohm
1 X 600 RMS 4 Ohm, 1200 Watts Max Power
2 Ohm Stable (stereo)
4 Ohm Stable (bridged mode)
Bridgable... blah blah blah
How do you remove a a stuck cd from a car radio/cd player?
I also have two volfenhag 12'' 1000 W Subs
4 ohm Dual voice coil
Usable 2-8 ohm
My other factor is part of my 03 RSX. I have a stock alternater and a slightly improved battery.
What would be the safest, but loudest, sound system for my Camaro?
Now if you where a smart person who cared about your system and your car. What would i do. Do i use on amp heavily or 2 amps half as much and is that a difference on my alt.
What size amp do you reconmend for two 12" 750watt subwoofers?
Now correct me if i am wrong
If with one amp wire like...? http://www.crutchfield.com/learningcente...

but with two amps wire two versions of:

Always use RMS watts when referring or calculating power as this is a closer representation of true power than MAX or Peak.Do I have to get earbud headphones for XM's SkyFi3?
You'd get 300 watts RMS to each sub if wired like the first link you provided. Each sub would get 175 watts RMS if you wired them like the second link.
An alternator upgrade shouldn't be needed, however if you go with one amp, I would recommend to upgrade the "Big 3" - that is to replace the power wire between the battery and alternator, the ground wire from the battery to the chassis and ground strap from the chassis to the engine block or transmission to at least a 4 AWG wire.

Here is a guide that will calculate what size alternator and power wires you need http://www.datafilehost.com/download.php...
You'll need Microsft Excel to use it.

Do I really need to worry about my car cd player's faceplate?
Javin M will come along and give an explanation on how caps are worthless. He'll even provide a site that explains this http://forum.realmofexcursion.com/showth...
I wired up a cd player in car but got no sound?
While the article that Javin M (and I) provide held true at one time, there are a few errors that time has altered. This article was written some time ago and changes have occurred in the manufacturing of capacitors. In the article an ESR of .017 was given, the problem is that caps made today have an ESR of 0.0016 or less which is a far cry from the days of old.
What are the size of the rear speakers in a ford focus Mk 2 (new shape)?
What does this mean? It means the calculations and information now change quite substantially and can no longer be held as true.
Running a second battery is never a good idea as it's just an added strain on the alternator. A cap is only good so far as the audio system isn't trying to pull too much from the electrical system. Auto manufacturers take into account that 40% of the alternator power is required to run the electrical system (AC, fans, lights, etc.). If your audio system consumes more than 60% of the alternators power, an alternator upgrade is recommended as is the Big 3.
I know a cap can be beneficial as I'm running one and I measured a definite change in my electrical systems response curve to big bass hits with an oscilloscope, however, this won't be the case for ALL vehicles as power demands differ.
Capacitors are measured in Farads. It's recommended to have 0.5 Farad for every 500 watts of power out. The lower the ESR, the better. There are two voltage ratings for capacitors, 16V and 24V. The 16V is actually a better choice as it's better for performance.
Is a 1.5 ohm load too much for a Rockford Fosgate Punch 401s amp?
get yourself a power capacitor, available at any good stereo store. it basically stores extra energy so that it doesnt drain from your battery and dim your lights when the bass hits. extremely usefull and very easy to install. a stock alternators best friend.I need a 7 inch gps and navigation system with bluetooth technology and harddrive?
