I recently installed a Lightning Bolt A1.300 amp (300W RMS ) powering a 12"
Infinity 1230W (reference series) sub which maxes at 1200W and 300W RMS.
Can I turn the gain up on the amp all the way or do I risk blowing the sub?
What are the factors involved here?  I mean both are 300W ...

Has anyone else bought the Sirius tuner for Pioneer? I have the avh7500dvd
and can't figure out how to get the Sirius display to be full screen instead
of just showing a few characters on the top left. I can't get it to show the

I am after a bit of advice if possible. Would anyone be able to tell
me how to get a cd out of my car stereo once it has been removed from

The guy at Crutchfield suggested that a  DVC sub driver driven with a 2
channel amp (one channel to each VC) would be better sounding then the
same driver is a SVC version.  Does this make sense?  He said that the
DVC sub would be more responsive?  I also read where it's not a good

I've got a Clarion DXZ645MP (built-in Sirius support) that I purchased
through Crutchfield and yes, installed myself (which I'm sure is where
the problem lies).
I had a couple Alpines in before the Clarion and for a good six months

I have an Eclipse 5341R and lost the wiring harness that plugs into it when
I got rid of my old car.  Does anyone have a wiring diagram or know how the
individual pins are supposed to be connected?  The sticker on the top of the
head unit only lists colors, but that doesn't help me ...

I just purchased a DVC sub driver. I should have posted this before my
purchase....Anyway,  I bought an Infinity Perfect Sub 12.1D.
Each voice coil is 4 ohms.  I can wire the voice coils ( I believe in

So my car has been in the shop for a little over two months with a "mystery"
electrical problem.  I know what caused the problem - when I dropped the car
off for routine maintenance, they let the battery die and then boost charged
it.  I know they provided more than 16 volts ...

Why does my car stereo cut off when I go above 1500 RPM ??

I like to replace my current BOSE CD/Tape player console in my 95
Maxima with something better and more versatile.  I understand that

professional help on installation.
