    Arthur from Indy

    welcome! im from the southside of Indy!
  2. haha i just made a thread about this the other day. everyone said for only around 1000 watts, 4awg wil be just fine.
  3. im looking to do the big 3 in my truck. i was wondering if i could do this in 4awg instead of 1/0 since all im running is the setup in my sig and not even 1000 watts. i have no plans of upgrading in the near future, so i figure why not. im gonna be using knu for the wire, and their 4awg is a lot cheaper per foot then the 1/0. also, i have everything i need for my sub and amp and everything, except speaker wire. i was also looking at knu for this. i was wondering what you guys which speaker wire from them, and which gauge you guys would recommend. if you guys could give me some links that would be awesome. THANKS! for any info you guys can give.

    Can't Believe What I Saw

    im from central Indiana. all the people around here have hard-ons for MTX, Alpine, Kicker. the local shop told me to stay away from things like Fi, SSA, RE. My buddy has 2 15in type-r's, said hes gonna get a MRP-500 hooked up to each and enter some competitions...
  7. im lookin for a headunit for my buddy. all he needs is 1 set of RCA's, and just the basic headunit with CD/MP3 playback. he doesnt wanna spend more then $250. thanks guys!

    Alpine H/U's

    i have the 9884. its my first aftermarket hu. i like it. i think its a little hard to get around the menus and stuff though. if i were to do it over i would get either the 9886 or a comparative Pioneer Premier.

    headunit issue

    got it figured out
  10. I have a Alpine CDA-9884. I got this in January, and used it until about 2 weeks ago. I got a different vehicle, and now have the hu in my 1998 dodge ram 1500. its been in for about a week. now the issue: when i have the hu on the CD player or iPod, music is only played out of the speakers in the back doors. The truck is a quad cab. On the harness, the factory hu had a black ground, i was told to clamp that with the Alpine black. And the blue/black from the Alpine i clamped with the blue/black from the truck harness. I left the reg blue by its self since i dont have a remote wire ran for an amp right now. I hope i did that right. My questions is basically why is it on the regular tuner (FM), music comes from the tweets and all the door speakers, but on the CD player or iPod it only plays from the back. I put the fader to the front, thinking it was just off, but when even when i did that nothing came out of the front mids/highs. Everything worked perfectly fine in the first vehicle i had it in, so i dont understand why it doesn't now. ANY help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

    basic headunit

    yeah i like how on crutchfield you can get the install stuff free, but i guess if you find what you want on a ebay for cheap, you can get the stuff with the money you saved. i told him stick to something like Alpine, Pioneer, Kenwood. thanks for the info!!

    i dont know what to do

    alright cool! thanks. im takin everything out tomorrow and gonna redo all the settings and see what happens. ill let all you guys know. btw what part of Indiana are you in?
  23. i have a 12in SSD, hifonics 1208d amp (i know, i know). i have the hu settings as follows: sub level 10 out of 15. bass on 0 (-7/+7). then on the amp the bass eq is set around halfway, and the subsonic is set around 27-28 i believe. when i have the gains about 3/4's and the volume around 20/35, i start smelling WOOD. im like 95% sure its wood, and not glue from the sub. but i haven't heard of anyone else say anything about this. am i just a noob or what? im afraid to turn mine up cause of this. also, how much of an effect does all this have on the battery and alt? i have all stock wiring and plan to do big 3, just haven't got the money yet. i baby it most of the time. if anyone can give me any help that would be awesome! thanks guys!
