    AMP/Sub woofer Wiring kit?

    I used this company when I wired my boats amp. (www.crutchfield.com) You can at least see want you need there. They also have install guides and other info. You can probably find local sources cheaper once you see what you need.

    AMP/Sub woofer Wiring kit?

    There is no way of answering that. The Amp's draw won't be a steady draw. It will vary with volume and content (loud low end bass sounds creating the highest draw). The amount of charging required will vary based on the chargers output and the amount the battery is drained. If you drain 40 amps...

    AMP/Sub woofer Wiring kit?

    In new condition, that battery says it delivers 96 amp hours. If your 40 amp estimate is correct, 96/40 =2.4 hours. two things though, You shouldn't drain a car battery all the way, they are not made for that and it will shorten the batteries life. Also the batteries capacity is probably less...

    Logitech Z623 Subwoofer making a crackling sound.

    Most amplifiers (especially inexpensive ones) start to experience clipping and distortion as your get close to the maximum output. When this happens it is very easy to damage a speaker. I'd 1st check to see if your connections are tight, also try hooking the speakers up to another source (an...

    I HAVE A SONY DLP REar PROJECTION TV MODEL KDS50A2000.

    I'm glad I could help. The price on the warranty work each time was around $2400. The part alone was over $1000.

    I HAVE A SONY DLP REar PROJECTION TV MODEL KDS50A2000.

    Its a failed optical block. I bought the extended Warranty and had that part replaced twice. Its a very expensive repair (a new TV is cheaper). There was a class action suit on this and Sony offered a discount on a new TV. I'm not sure if the deal is still being offered though.

    How to connect PC with 5.1 audio output to a Philips HTS3106 blu ray player with home theater

    How to connect PC with 5.1 audio output to a Philips HTS3106 blu ray player with home theater

    The 3.5mm jack and your Aux audio jack are both 2channel stereo only. The only way I can see it work is to use the digital coax in. Does your motherboard have a digital audio out jack on the back?

    how to get 4.1 effect from 4 speakers ?

    You can't get surround sound from a receiver (your hifi) that only supports stereo (has connectors for only two speakers). Each connection for a speaker is called a channel. Your system has 2 channels. Most home theater receivers have at minimum 5.1 channels. 5 channels for regular speakers and...

    Sony Bravia SXRD out to pasture

    I have the same TV. I've had the optical block replaced twice under warranty (thank god for the extended warranty). Both times the repairman took over two hours for the repair and the price on the repair receipt showed over $2000 in parts and labor. Even if the true cost were half of that, I...
