Well, i dont have a problem but my dad and brother do. They are trying to hook up a new HU and it wont power up i guess. He said that after it not working when wired through the wiring harness, he hooked it up to a battery to see. Still wont power on, but he only hooked up like 3 wires... 12volt accessory, 12volt battery, and illumination. He only had those 3 wires hooked up so he could just test the radio. Do you need to connect all of them to get the radio to go on??

Good to know for when i am in the search for a new alt.

i dont really have any experience with HO alts but i know people run motor city reman alts. www.motorcityreman.com There also is excessive amperage, iraggi alternators, and ohio generator to look into. I believe motor city reman would be the cheapest out of the ones i listed.

are there many settings like crossovers and such?? My alpine cda-9851(last years model) has none of that and i kinda want it now. All mine has is like bbe, bass, treble, sub level, system1 and system2... not much else. I have heard that alpine's have gone down in features lately but i really like the look of them... im kinda the one button kinda guy i guess.... i hate having a million buttons on the HU.

Well, 3 rl-s's would give you a 1.334 ohm load. 4 D2 RL-p's would give you a 1ohm load. 6 D4 rl-i's would give you a 1.334 ohm load. Just some different options for ya.

You might get a funky load when getting so many drivers and the RL-s's only come in single 4ohm. What ohm does your amp put out 3000watts at?? Probably 3 of the RL-s's though. The site www.soundsplinter.com has all of the recommendations for power on their products. Whatever you get, its gonna be incredibaly loud!!

Right now... HU - Alpine CDA-9851 Front - stock Rear - stock Subs - 2 15" Kicker cvr's (2002 model) Sub Amp - Phoenix Gold X600.1 Future setup.... Front - some type of components that are like $150 (probably gonna get some late summer) and a small amp to power them Sub - 15" Sound Splinter RL-p (hope to get soon!!!) Sub Amp - PG X600.1

Kool. So does anyone use the online chat on here??

and depending on how much power that infinity puts out, you might not need to change amps. I am planning on putting 600rms on an RL-p 15 once i get money and he said that is perfect in a ported box, right in the middle of what he recommends to them.

Is the enclosure ported? It doesnt sound like it. Going ported would help out alot.

Oh, you dont know how many times i have heard that!! I like where i am now and i hope to like it here

this place seems to be similar to CAC cause its sort of a smaller board. I like that better. I read on Carstereos.org for a couple of weeks and i couldnt keep up with it... just too much going on there for me!!

Hey everyone, my names Mike. I decided to join here mainly for the Sound Splinter forum. I am new to here but not new to car audio and I belong to CarAudioCentral. I am 16, just starting out my car audio career i guess you could say. Ever since last summer after my first install i started learning the right way of doing everything. Boy, i wish i would of joined a forum before i did my first install!! Well, now i am knowledgable about car audio.... not so knowledgable about all the products as i have not heard much. Right now i am running 2 15" Kicker cvr's, like 2002 model, off of a Phoenix Gold X600.1. I started off with a Legacy 1600w amp and i first changed that! I am not planning on keeping the Kicker's very much longer, i really want a Sound Splinter RL-p!! I guess thats all.
