what are u wanting it to do.... just drive your car speakers, just drive a sub or a combination of both, do u want 1,2,3,4 or five channels??? I'm going for a alpine v12 700w digital amp - don't know the model no. it's two channels but that's all i need to run the 12" alpine sub that going with it - sorry i couldn't be more help

by the way... the amp retails for $399 from autobarn not to bad for a alpine amp, + u should be able to haggle a bit more of that as well, add a $200+ sub to it and u'll be kicking it up :-)

what jaycay 5 channel amp??? neways check out the group purchase of the response 4x100wrms amps in this forum. They are the shit and we are getting them for just over 3 hundred bucks with a 1 year warranty but you must be quick. they normally retail for $449 if you buy 1. they can go:

4x100wrms, 2x100wrms + 1x300wrms, or 2x300wrms

they are wicked and i think best value for money. my mate ran 2 cervin vager 400wrms subs in a ported custom box of this one amp and when he pulled into my driveway the pictures on the walls moved... so think about it.

Have to be bridgeable amp - not all of them are compatible to be bridged properly. Not sure the exactly electronics behind it but that is why many are labelled as "bridgeable" and some aren't.

My 2x75rms into 1x150rms sounds fine for my sub..

If u just want to run a sub.. and not lose 2x channels in your other amp... you're probably best just getting a powerful monoblock.. You can push a lot more through the one channel at a cheaper price than bridging.

A "mono block" or just "mono amp" is pretty much what it says.. just runs the one channel.. which is dedicated for one purpose: running a sub (or two or three, etc) .

Looking at I guess $200 - $800 for one depending on the brand.

It can maybe end up a bit cheaper as you can probably get away with a smaller amp for your other speakers... as subs need comparitively greater power to achieve decent volume.

e.g. a 300 Watt (RMS) sub probably won't kill you at full volume.. 300 Watt "standard" speakers at full volume is ****ING loud :D

so what you are saying is that its best to run to amps if intending to run a sub, yes/no. if yes is the case, may this be a problem if i only have 2 re outputs on my h/u or does it not have to reply on it. having said that, can i run a second amp say 2 channels to my 4 channel amp in which there are 2 channels free on the 4 channel then just use the additional amp to run the subs. confusing? impossible?

  • 3 weeks later...

i just went to Jaycar and they are selling their monoblock 130w rms mono subamp for $140, reduced from $169, but the actual amp must be mount into a cavity on the sub-box,not a direct bolt on. This is good if you are custom building a sub box and want to intergrate an amp into the cabinet. The sub amp has crossover adj., as well as some other features, but i havent heard it yet, or read any reviews..... looks ok though

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
