I have an Alpine head unit with an output for a cd changer. I want to buy a sony cd changer from my friend. Is there anyway I could use his changer with my hu? Do I have to buy an adaptor?

Make sure the ground connection is tight. If your amp is turned up too much. The amp will cut out. This is called clipping. Check to make sure the bass boost and the gain are not turned up too high.

This is how you should wire your system. This is called series wiring. The Subwoofers technically are resistors in a series circuit. This is how you will wire 2 2-ohm Duel Voice Coil subs in a 2-ohm load setup. The positive and negative wire going to the amplifier should be bridged over the...

In a setup without an amp. The speakers use the head unit's internal amplifier. Lets just say that inside a head unit there is a fixed gain. This preset gain is what determines the volume at which the music is played. But when you run RCA cables to an external amplifier, you have to set the...

The gain setting does not control the wattage going to the amp. All it is is a sensitivity adjuster. It adjusts the output sensitivity. It is used in "phasing" your system. In order to do this, turn the gain and bass boost all the way down. Then, adjust the volume on your head unit to 3/4...

no, it doesn't matter which coil is wired to the amp

It depends on the specs of your amp. Most amps cannot support a 2-ohm load in bridged mode. Post a link to the specs of your amp. or post the model # so I can take a look at the specs for myself. You say that there are 2 terminals; If there are 2 terminals, then it is not a mono amp. But I...

It is alright to build a box for 2 subs with 1 chamber. I have read this off of numerous web sites and that is how some of the installs are done in the pros. You have to make sure that the volume of the box is correct though. My friend and I just build a box for his 1998 Mustang in the spare...

Here is a good site with wiring diagrams for subs. http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-jtPR25Uw450/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs=2&impedance=DVC2x2

Check out this box my friend and I built for 2 Alpine Type-R 10s. Still not finished with it. Let me know what you think. This is my first fiberglassing job. Please give me your opinions.

I mounted my kicker kx150.4 (4 ch amp) under my passenger seat. I did this because I had no room on my back seat with my sub amp on it. I took out the senter console and ran 14 gauge speaker wire to all of my speakers. I know you can use a higher gauge wire, but i wanted 14. My amp is fine...

I am running new speaker wire from my 4ch amp to my door speakers. When I took off the seal that the wires run through from the car to the door, all I found was a plug that butts up right against the hole in the door. There is no room to run the speaker wire around it, and no other way to get...

it is hooked up to the rear pre outs. What do you mean by non-fading though?

I have the Alpine CDM 7874 deck. I have everything hooked up properly. Only when I turn the subwoofer off on the receiver, the sub does not turn off, it keeps on playing. Does anyone know what is wrong and what I could to fix it??? Thanks
