hey did you like your type r components. the sub seems to over power the type s's and im thinking about upgrading to those next. what amp did you use for them to? do you have an amp on your now? If not would make a big difference. no amp for the front speakers and stock 6x9's in the back. the HU puts out 50 watts to each speaker though

not really any need for them.. very nice start!! better then my first box lol i put them in there anyway and thanks!!

yes i did i guess i forgot to take pictures of that part

Yes BUT I would want that to be a last resort deal. Since that would be the most expensive option. Just trying all my options first, ya know? yeah i know

yeah thats what im saying why is it so bad to have rims at 16. but man thats sucks your rims got scratched

got the type r installed today and started bumbin!! pics and vids tomorrow!

haven't you already posted something about what alt you need?

the stuff

started the box got the box done. i think i did pretty good for going it for the first time

Get a photobucket.com account, upload your photos there, copy and paste the image code ok pics coming soon

im about to start my build for my very first system. its going in a 1997 honda accord and its nothing big like alot of people on here but hey you got to start somewhere. whats going in my car: alpine type r 10 alpine mrp-m500 alpine sps-600 kenwood kdc-mp242 i will post pics but idk how to so can someone tell me how to post pictures

bad ground you ground the headunit common in pioneers ok. how do i check the voltage of my car?

i have a kenwood KDC-MP245 in my 1997 honda accord with no subs hooked up just my alpine sps-600 speakers in the doors and when i turn it up and the bass hits the head unit will start dimming but not the head lights. does anyone know why this is happening?

x2

? The answer was right there. x2 on the Audiopipe. i didnt see that post til after i already bought the amp

yes but the amp is intended for years and years of use. The sub is not. I still have an 15 year old RF punch 60ix amplifier i spent $400 on back in the day. Amps are the only part of car audio that i future proof or try to. So IF i got 15 years out of a $1000 amp...compared to how much some audio enthusiasts spend within 15 years. i'm probably doing dam good. But most major brand amps within that power range can be found new for half that, so no worries. HU's, Subs, boxes....etc, is all the stuff i like to change up every couple or so years. I'm sure you understand. I know nothing of AudioPipe's build quality or actual rated power. But at the moment, i'm looking hard at MTX thunder Elite. Their one of the few makers so far i've seen that actually tell me the quality of individual internal parts. like isdm circuit boards...etc. Most others only say they use Mosfets and thats about all i gather from them. i try to research heavily into any product i plan to keep for many years and not just buy whatever is cheapest or based on linear experiences of "some guy" on its own. Maybe AP would last 15 yrs, i dunno but who does? is that for MSRP prices? or unauthorized dealers, garage sales..what?I mean i can too and have in the past. I can also build a $2000 computer for $500 but thats all part of buying any product. some can, some can't or some just won't. but i don't go with brands i'm not familiar with out of the blue. i've learned too many hard lessons over the years and seen others as well. *edit: hehe, i just noticed Audiopipes marketing. how stereotypical and too much "bling,bling" for my tastes. White girls and gangsta's with products that have fake diamonds in them isnt exactly a noble statement to me, but if they last 15 years i'm game...though dunno how long they been around? but their marketing really cracked me up though i mean, how could anyone take this AD seriously? haha at the AD

ok i will look out for that and it will probably blow but i couldn't really find a amp in that price range with a adjustable subsonic filter. alpine said this amp was made for the type r so idk we will see

what does bottoming out sound like?

i bought a alpine mrp-m500 for now and when i get a job i am for sure upgrading to a fi bl 12 and a saz-1000d

dual 4 ohm

im about to buy a amp for my alpine type r in a few days and its rated at 500rms and i dont know what would be a good amp to power it. my budget is 150$

might not go thats a hour and a half drive

do you have a address so i can get directions?

what do you mean clean?
