    Thank you for the info! Just installed a skar Amp and sub kit and this answers my set up questions. Any suggestions on breaking in the new sub? Hours of run time on a lower power level etc?

    What do you recommend for a Skar 1200 wire gauge?

      At least 4 gauge. Always use OFC and never CCA

    New to car audio and subs. Just curious. What the settings to tune a rp2000.1 for a skar vs series 12inch wired to 1 ohm... or should I leave it at 2? Just wondering cause I don't wanna blow my sub.

    Question I haven’t put my sub or amp I just did the wire part but when I finish I turns my car on and the center consol is not turning on and the audio fuse is heat up what could it be Infiniti q50

    • @mclaughlin324
      @mclaughlin324 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Well make sure the wires aren’t making any contact anywhere on the frame. I’m not sure why the center console wouldn’t come on.
      Are you talking about a stock or aftermarket head unit?
      I could only imagine that a power wire came undone somewhere or a fuse blew somehow.
      Just make sure to disconnect your battery before you do the wiring to be safe and prevent from damaging any electrical components.

      (And I mean if and when you wire something in the future)

    Never go past half way on the gain . Going over half way results in clipping and stuff and very hard on your speakers

    Never ground any amps under the seat, never! Always ground to the frame, period!

      Why never ground under the seat bro ??

    • @MrMan-ol4ic
      @MrMan-ol4ic 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @tonycervantes4816 I've learned from past experiences that it is not a solid place to ground. It gets loose, comes off, etc. You really want a good solid ground with a grade 8 nut and bolt. The ground is KEY AND KING to any sound system. You can have a 10, 15, 20k system, but if it's not grounded properly, it's worthless. Also, if you don't have a good ground, it can cause a fire along with shorts in the system. Every system I've done, I've grounded it to the frame or some part of the outer structure of the vehicle. But, this from learning from my mistakes, ground is KING!
