LIGHTING DOSENT WORK

You have to connect the light to a 12 volt source. DO NOT CONNECT IT TO THE SPEAKER WIRES!!!!! You can use the GROUND and REMOTE terminals on the amp and it will turn on and off with the amp. Also, make sure the little toggle switch next to the light screws is ON.

When ever I connect the fuse in the power cable to

NO! I hope I am incorrect, but it sounds like a "Dead Short" in your power wire. If you are not fused at the battery and at the amp, you are creating a bomb!. That said, if I'm wrong and you have fuses at the battery and amplifier. God Bless Ya!. What you will need to do is go to any battery house or even Walmart. They can load test the battery and let you know if it has an internal failure causing no cranking amps, yet still reads 12volts on a meter. Second thing to do is check your starter feed from the battery for corrosion, check both sides and make sure contacts are clean and no corrosion has "wicked" up the wire. This can cause your vehicle to eat batteries more than any other issue I have ever encountered. Lastly, never run a car audio system that includes an amp without your vehicle running. That's the number 2 cause of battery failure. Hope this helps. If you need to dig any further, post a comment with all the specifics: Year Make and Model vehicle, then list equipment models. Best of luck

Subs wont light up

i have the same speakers. get a 12volt light tester and make sure that the positive you have going into the light connection on the back has power going to it. not trying to call you out but there are some people out there that just don'y understand this stuff. other than that you can take off the plastic shield and use like a 9volt battery and test each light inside.

I Have a set of Dual XNBP12D Car Subwoofer and curious about if

You need to look at the specifications of the speakers and the specifications of the amp you are hooking them up to. For example: The speakers could be 8ohm drivers wired in parallel which would produce one connection at 4ohms. Most "bridgeable" car amplifiers are very stable at 4ohms. However you must first find out if the amp is "bridgeable" which means it's taking both outputs and adding them together for one monoral output.

Now to the contrary: If both speakers are 4ohms wired parallel, this would produce a 2ohm load and alot of "inexpensive" amps will not work efficiently in a 2ohm load since it creats alot of heat! and will cause an amp to shut down.

Get your manuals out and look at the specifications for impedance.

Lastly, you've got a band-pass box that is specifically designed for a mono load. (one channel) since there is no internal divider between the subs. If you were to run this box in 2 channel or "stereo" the subs would not be moving in unisome and fighting each other for "airspace". Hope this helps

What would be the ideal amplifier for these subs?

i have the same subs. i am running a total 500/1. i would say not a good idea, just today i was listening to bass mechanic and i could smell the voice coils heating up. so probaly a 300-400 watt amp would be good. just make sure it is a true wattage amplifier. not a cheap amp. pioneer amps that walmart sells are actually good amps.

When upgrading an existing single tone car horn to a dual tone how complicated is the extra wiring?

No Simon, that won't work. What you are suggesting is wiring the two horns in series, and that halves the voltage so you would have two horns running on 6 volts. They need to be wired in parallel. A lot depends on how good the horn's relay is and if it can handle the load of two horns. My thought is that it probably will as many vehicles already have twin horns. The positive lead from the relay needs to split and go to the positive sides of both horn, and the negative of the horns to grounds. Ideally, two relays, two horns, two grounds. Look at the YouTube video of the guy that added a huge locomotive twin air horn. It is funny as he goes looking for jay walkers! If I remember he had to install a second battery for it as the load for the air compressor, made the engine stall. ..
