    WTB: Alpine cda-9811 face plate

    No, mines just kinda janky. Faceplate has some internal issue that causes the display to randomly cut out. Thanks for the link. I may be selling it once i figure out if I want to use it over my now sony cdx-gt740ui.

    Phoenix gold xenon meltdown! (x6.5")

    I've been reading around and that sounds like the conensus. I may sound ignorant here but would they be okay with my current amp? The rsd's only seem to have a RMS rating of 60 watts when the xenons had 150 RMS if I remember correctly.

    Phoenix gold xenon meltdown! (x6.5")

    Long story short, the crossover for my x6.5's literally melted during a trip from Arizona to Wisconsin. Gain was set very conservatively. (read sig for specs on system) I'm assuming I just overheated it somehow from continuous playing over an extended period of time. Also, I lost a tweeter...

    So my Clarion DXZ745MP is "sirius ready" What does that mean?

    Okay, I know what sirius is. Its just the equipment I'm confused about. Whats everyones opinions on the piggyback systems like the tuners you can take out of your car/put in your home, etc.

    So my Clarion DXZ745MP is "sirius ready" What does that mean?

    Sorry for the dumb question but I have searched and cant really find what I was looking for (on here and sirius.com) So my Clarion is "sirius ready". This means what exactly? Is this like having an ipod interface ready deck in that I dont have to mount one of those little tuners somewhere and I...

    Should I get a D-Class amp?

    Again, thanks for the responses. Looks like I'll be keeping my current amp What do you mean A/B amps are far from space heaters? I guess it may not be a bad thing that it gets hot since I'm thinking about moving back to Wisconsin in a couple of months, haha. The amp is mounted to the back of...

    Should I get a D-Class amp?

    Ok, thanks for the responses. I guess its not really a problem since the sub hits hard and the amp doesnt shut off. (hasn't yet) I'm still a noob with car audio and the fact that the amp gets really hot to the touch worries me a little. Its like a little space-heater behind my seat, haha...

    Should I get a D-Class amp?

    So I've been using a MTX RT2200X to run my 10" Kicker CVR (2ohm) for a couple of days and it works well but gets really hot. If I hold my hand on it for more than a couple of seconds I would probably blister. The amp doesnt shut down but I'm still thinking that it cant be good. I can trade the...

    Did I wire this right?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Sub sounds great, a lot louder than I expected. My amp is still really hot though, not shutting off but really really hot to the touch. If I held my hand on it for more than a couple of seconds, I will probably get a blister. I know that MTX's are known to get...

    Did I wire this right?

    So like this: Should I use shorter wire or is the length fine (blue wire)

    Did I wire this right?

    I have a 10"CVR (2 ohm) that I would like to wire to a 4 ohm final load. I'm a noob and **** with this stuff so I'd like some advice/input on if I've wired it right or not.
