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 th…

I'm about at the point where I need some electrical upgrades, my car is an 04 Mustang, electrical is stock no big 3, has a Optima Yellowtop My amps Bass amp has 160 amps worth of Fuses, Treble amp has 60 amps worth of fuses. If i play songs with real long bass notes my treble cuts out, maybe its just my sh!!TY wal- mart sony amp, i have a brand new soundstream amp that I'm going to have put in here shortly. Anyway can I put a 2nd battery on the stock alt. or should i go with a 160 amp alt or a 200 amp alt or what?

Ok, a guy at my trade school let his cousin use his JL A1400 amp, suposedly the cousin sprayed WD40 in the ground connection, why i do not know, and now he says the protect light comes on, i kow hes not the smartest fella and might be hooking it up wrong since he has it back now, he brought it to trade school looked at it, it was fine so he brought it back and it worked, then protect went on again, now hes getting his cousin to buy him a new amp, and he wants to get rid of this one, he brought it for me to look at but neither me nor my teacher can find anything wrong with it, and he wants to sell it for $75, what do yall think?

I have an 01 tahoe with 2 15's kicker cvr dvc 4 ohm wired down to 1 ohm. Us amps xt 4000 1500rms@1ohm and a crunch 1400 4 channel and a 4 farad performance teknique power cap. red top under hood and db electrical ho alt. Have not did the big three yet. At idle my voltage drops to 13 or even 12 when bass really hits. Will the big three help with 0 gauge wire. Should I buy a powermaster D680 or D975 and get rid of the cap

Haven't been here in a while guys Just wanted to know the advantages and disadvantages of running amplifiers at different loads. Nothing specific, in terms of amplifier brand, but just general advantages and disadvantages. Thanks.

I want to put a 17 or 19" dell monitor and adapt it to play my music videos out of the trunk at the same time my pioneer 700bt is playing. It can be done I was told by custom sounds, but you need to have an video adapter. any other suggestions? I am trying to do this the cheapest way. OR I can buy a 20" tv and just plug it right into my (yellow) rca video cable and run with it. But I was wondering if there was another CHEAP way around 200$ or less. And yes the bang will problably shatter the screen but I might put it in my back window, don't know quite yet. thanks fellas

I have a 2008 Silverado Single Cab and am getting a Single 10" SSA Icon and would like to buy a Planet Audio RXD1400 to push it at 2 Ohms. It will be giving it 1000Watts at 2 Ohms. Will stock electrical be sufficient? I also have 4 Gauge wiring which isn't to long due to truck being a single cab. What gauge wire should I use for speaker inputs?

Any body ever run this head unit? Looks to be pretty nice for the price. This might be the one i use. Any opions would be greatly appreciated here's a link http://mobile.jvc.com/product.jsp?modelId=...d=54&page=3

Hi someone locally is selling a 300amp alternator for my car, which is a 2003 4.0L Explorer. I know the guy and he said he never used it because he just sold his explorer but he bought it from a place in cali. What should I be looking for to see if the alternator is legit? what tests can I do? Or should I just get a 240amp iraggi alternator? Any input would be greatly appreciated Thanks!!

I'm looking at the DLS RA 10 and RA20 to power my IDQ12v3D4 and CXS62 6.5" comps. How do the 125.2 and 1000D compare to the DLS in terms of clean power and features? Thanks

Well im going to be purchasing a 12'' Fi BL im going ported tuned to about 32hz, So i want to feed it about 1000w due to my stock electrical. Dont care if its a 1Ohm amp or 2 Ohm because i havent ordered the sub yet.. I figured id start with the amp so i have more options. Im really trying to stay under 300..250 if possible Hifonics? I was talking to a member here who had a 12 bl hooked up to a POWER ACOUSTIK BAMF-2000/1D, who loved it.. So any help id appriciate it.

Ok, I'm going to be running my wires soon, so I guess i need to start buying some. I'd like to use the Knukonceptz Karma SS speaker wire. I need to know what size I should be buying. I'm running 3 SAX-100.4D amps at 4ohms/4 channel so 100 overrated watts per channel. Sundown E8's for midbass, Tang Band 6.5 for mid and Seas Neo Tweets. Is the 16awg good enough or do I need to go up to 12awg? I know I'm not running tons of power, but I was wondering how much impedance loss I would be getting since the amps are in the trunk and the speakers up front. thanks.

What should i have my x over and subsonic set on? i have my bass all the way up and my gain around 1/2. Should i change that? i have a 15 inch fi bl
