Can an 8 ohm amp drive 16 ohm speakers?
Never heard of a 16 ohm hifi aplifier. All amplifiers have an output impedance of less than 0.1 ohm. We use always impedance matching with a low source impedance to the much higher load impedance.

If you have a sub woofer do you need an amplifier?
There are two types of subwoofers.
1. Active subwoofers
2. Passive subwoofers
An active subwoofer will have a built-in amplifier.
A passive subwoofer doesn't have a built-in amplifier which will require the use of an amplifier, the use of a power source.
What year did the first CD player come out for vehicle?
According to Car and Driver magazine, the first in-dash car CD player was introduced by Sony (one of the creators of the Compact Disc) in 1984. Mercedes-Benz was the first to offer a factory-installed CD player (made by Becker) in 1985.

How do you wire a single sub amp to two subs?
First off make sure you have the amps ran properly. Next to run this set up you need to get some Y jacks from radio shack so both amps are hooked into the subwoofers (preout) on the back of the deck. Next hopefully both your amps are either 2-ch or mono. If it is 2-ch bridge one on each amp this way you use both channels on the amp. If it is mono it is only one channel anyway. Make sure your inline fuse to your battery is big enough, you can't go wrong with ANL fuses 200 amps.
AnswerMight want to also think about a capacitor for sound quality when running multiple amps.SOOOOOOO were putting 1 amp to each woofer? but if one of your amps have a input and a output jacjs then you would not need the 'Y' jacks?
AnswerI'm running 2 kicker amps, one has 2 kicker 12's and the other has a pioneer 10. I run individual power and ground wires. 1 remote from the deck to the main amp and a wire running from the remote terminals on each amp. Then I have my RCA wires from the deck going to the main amp, and another set of RCA wires going from the output on the main amp to the secondary amp. If you don't have an amp with a RCA pass through, then yes, you will need a RCA splitter (Y cable).How do you find the remote wire in the back of your CD player of a 98 Malibu?
Usually the remote wire is the blue wire. Although not all CD players have a remote wire. The easy way to find out if you're player has a remote wire is to go onto the manufacturer's website and check the spec's.
In october 1982 the first CD player hits the shelves who developed the idea for cds?
The digital compact disc, now commonplace in stereos and computers, was invented in Oct. 1982 by James T. Russell.
The CD format was created by Sony and Philips.
there is a little hole under the CD door, push something thin there and the door will open.
Gently push the end of an opened (unbent) paper clip into the small hole on the front of the door. It doesn't take much pressure.
Can a 8 ohm amp power a 4 ohm speaker?
You will find no 4 ohm amplifier! So you will need no transformer. All audio amplifiers have output impedances of lower than 0.5 ohms. We have "impedance bridging" between amplifier and loudspeaker - no matching. Scroll down to related links and look at "impedance bridging - Wikipedia".
If you install a sub do you need an amp too?
Well you are going to need subs an amp it depends on how big your sub and amp are going to be but you might need a new alternator a amp wiring kit also depends on how big you go if its over a 1000 watts you will need like 5 gage of 4 gage power wire it should tell you on the box a drill maybe to drill through you firewall if you don't hare a big enough hole that about it i think oh and a box for your sub
When screwing in the sub to the sub box don't forget to pre-drill all the holes before you put in the screws. If you don't it may crack and screw up you mdf.
How do you set the radio clock on a 2004 Hyundai Elantra?
Turn your car on, so that the radio can be turned on and off. Then turn your radio off. After is it off, push the clock button and while holding clock, use seek to change the hour and tune to change the minutes.
Is better to have a mono amp or 2 channel amp to 2 sub-woofers?
You won't notice any stereo separation with two subwoofers because our ears perceive bass as omnidirectional. Two subs can make more volume than one of the same size. If you are using two subs, you should either use two separate mono amps, or a two channel setup. As long as the amps have a high pass filter they will work equally well, although the wiring will be simpler for the two Chanel setup.
How do you Replace the rear speakers on a 1999 Jeep Cherokee classic?
start by removing the mesh over the speaker carefuly so not to damage it, use a flat headed screw driver and gently pry it off. then remove the screws holding in the speaker. your good to go then.
Your radio will come on but there is no sound from the speakers?
Because you may have to check your groung wire, or you will have to get another conector for the back of the radio. Also check your speakers and make sure there pluged in right.

Purpose of power capacitor bank in car stereo?
hi guys,use of capacitor in car stereo amplifier is really helpful..specially when using an amplifier(s) to drive speakers.the purpose of capacitor is to maintain current level for amplifier(s) so it can perform better and give optimum performance to the speakers. Power capacitor uses the current from main battery and stores it in itself. and whenever car is turned off, amplifier uses the stored power from capacitor..
hopefully this answer will be helpful.
Why will your radio in your car only work when you push on the knobs?
I am not sure excatly the situation.
Are you saying that you need to press the knob to hear sound and if you let go you don't hear anything. If that's the case, first thing I need to know is if your radio using the volume button as the power on/off such as turning down the volume or depressing the knob. If this is true (and that's the knob you are refering to) then it could be a loose connection and by pressing the knob you are completing the connection and when released it looses the connection.
Does a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier have RCA jacks in the factory radio?
no if you wanna hook rcas up to it you'll have to hook up a line output converter
The difference is 2 ohms.
Another difference is that the 2 ohm speaker will draw more power from a given amplifier than a 4 ohm speaker will draw. If the amplifier is not rated for two ohms, then the two ohm speaker may draw more than the amplifier's rated power, and the amplifier may be damaged as a result.
This is normal for Navigator, the radio will play, and the windows will run up and down for up to 5 minutes after the ignition is turned off. Just open the drivers door to over ride it. They do that so if you listening to a radio program you can hear the end without having the car running. Most newer Lincolns do this.
Can you use a 500 watt rms amp with a 300 watt rms sub?
You can. Just don't have the gain turned up all the way and listen for distortion from the subwoofer. After you hook the amp up, turn the gain all the way down, turn the stereo up as loud as you can. At the point where the regular speakers start to distort, turn the volume down just to the point that the music is clear then slowly turn the gain up on the amp just to the point that the sub starts to distort then turn it down to the point it sounds clear with no distortion and you just balanced your system. You should never have a problem or hurt your sub.
How do you stop car radio static caused by Electrical High Wires along the road?
Static crackling should not be audible under the following circumstances: 1). On AM radio, when listening to stations that are sufficiently near/strong. 2). On FM radio, anytime. If static is heard constantly, here are some suggestions for the source: 1). Defective fluorescent light or light dimmer nearby. 2). Electric motor nearby with deteriorated brushes or other internal sparking. 3). Radio is defective. Note: Intermittent static crackling during nearby thunderstorms is normal and interesting, especially on an AM radio.
Vw Jetta 02 radio doesn't play?
My 2000 VW beetle was taken into the shop about a month ago for a new transmission. After 3 weeks, it was finally fixed, but the radio and tape player will not play any music OR sound. I don't believe it's the fuse b/c the radio display will turn on just not play any music or change stations.
no you can't. if you want to run separate amps for your subs they both have to be the same amperage and preferably same model. you can use the 1000 w amp on the subs and get a nice amount of bass depending on what size and model subs you have. then just use the 400 w amp for your mids and run the highs off the radio lines. try that and you will hear some good sounds. you will also need a crossover as well. hope that helped.
