People often ask why spend extra money on amps, there is one of the answers..... No introduced noise, at any volume. Funny thing, i was just looking on the Rock Fosgate website and checked out their mono blocks. It says that they are 90db A weighted. What does this mean and is it measure on a different scale or something. Cheers |

No Rockford fosgate are very conservative in all their weightings, i would say those ampswould test out to be well over 100db "A" scale weighted.

2 x 1200max means very little rms power could be anything from 200rms to 600rms per channel. 350rms sounds about right. Amp is pretty straight forward to connect, firstly it should come with a manual telling you how to connect it all but if not Power to the power or + terminal Earth point on the car to the -'ive Remote turn on or trigger wire from the headunit goes to trigger input on the amp, this tells it to turn on. Then connect te speaker +'ive and -'ive then RCAs input ad your done.

pyroay I read your tech on stereo gear, not too bad a read.
Just a note on the Amplifiers. My understanding of "All frequencies" is white noise not pink noise. At least thats what I remember from my electronic eng days at uni. |

Pink noise is all frequency's (same as white noise) but has a stronger bottom end emphasis and is normally what is used for RTA'ing. newbi EL wrote: OK then Is it posable to link 2 amps to 1 pre out on the hu.& how.
You need a splitter 1RCA into 2. Do not buy a cheap one, they are a very common source of introduced noise into a system but something reasonable should cost between $8 - $14ea...

Digital amplifiers amplify the signal differently and there is pro’s and cons to that.
The con is that they introduce noise and interference especially higher up the frequency chain, although there are now full range digital or hybrid amps that seem to be alleviating some of these problems. . Because of the way they amplify the sound they are much more efficient up to 85 – 90% efficient, compared to 45-55% efficient like say a class A-B (most normal amps) Because they are more efficient, they can be much smaller and also get less hot. So i guess if it is rtwice as efficient (which many are) then from the same size package you can get twice the output.

Yea iaw the last post was in june but i thought if anyone could help me it would be this thread..
Im no good when it comes to car audio and i baught an amp (cheapo crap one) and a kicker sub, the amp's brand is coustic. the previous owners of my car had an amp and sub but wanted to keep them so i just got my amp mount where theirs is ad go B hifi to install it the guy said he would need to run another cable and sis now every now and hen ig et egine noise and the severity changes from time to time. i took it back to JB and he said it was a faulty amp and changed the amp over and it happened again now he says its because i got an old head unit... could an older head unit (JVC dont know the year but its got a cd player and casset player) cause randome engine noise? or this guy just a wank. any help would be awesome
cheers

engine noise can be caused by a few things... the most common (but unlikely because yours was"professionally" installed) is that the speaker wires are getting some interferance from the power cable or the amp isnt grounded enough...
will need a little info about your setup first... ill try make it simple for you... you said you have an old head unit that they are blaming... does it have RCA output (red and white plug like tvs/playstations use) you should see these running into the amp Cheers Cam

As FourL6 mentioned about the power wires being crossed with the speaker wires..
Try and trace the speaker wires from your amp and see where abouts in the cabin they run through. If the speaker wires ae running close to where your main power cable is, that could be the reason for you are getting the strange noises. Also this can happen with the RCA cables if they are too close to the main power cable so make sure that they are far away from the power wire too Ideally you would have the speaker wires and RCA's running on the other side of the car from the main power wire just to make sure that they are far enough apart to prevent any interference. Also check that the ground is secure as FourL6 also mentioned |
