be different... get a blue top. It's deep cycle like the yellow, but mainly intended for marine applications and may cost a little more. BUT IT'S BLUE!!!

get a H.O. alt. I fried the alt. on my 99 accord with just about the same power, and mine had I think a 95 or 105 amp from the factory.

Don't mean to bring this back from the dead, but since I just installed my type x's and hear that melting the cover is a fairly common issue, I wanted to take some precautions. I don't really like loud music anyways so it's not a big deal, but does anyone think gluing some aluminum foil to the...

I need do purchase some butyl base dampener (second skin, dynamat extreme, raammat, cascade V-max etc.) I need to do an install tomorrow so it MUST be on hand. Looking for at least 30 sq. ft. but will buy more if the price is not too bad. I almost purchased some Damplifier Pro, but have been...

I have 6.5" mids from an Alumapro ALC component set. The tinsel lead on one of them snapped from fatigue where it was epoxied to the cone. So basically it is in need of a new set of leads but the rest of the driver including the coil is fine. I've had difficulty trying to purchase a...

I just quickly went over your manual on alpine's website. The 0 and -3 you set are the speaker levels, not the crossover slope. To view/set the slope, first you use the UP/DN buttons to select the crossover frequency. Now don't turn the knob, press the SOURCE button to browse through the...

One more thing you can try is running a wire of a decent gauge (10awg should be fine) from the ground connection of the radio to the same ground point of the amp. This should theoretically normalize the ground between the amp and the HU.

Is there a bass boost on that amp by any chance? Make sure it's off or turned down all the way. I 'm sure you checked that already anyway... What HU are you using and do you know what slope the crossover is?

wrap it in a decently thick carpet. It'll hide the imperfections.

I think snap-on sells them for a ridiculous price if you want it delivered

This is probably a shot in the dark, but I am having trouble finding an alumapro dealer to help me out on this. I have a set of older ALC 6.5" components (actually, this was from when they were phazeaudio in Germany). The tinsel lead on one of the mids snapped from fatigue where it was epoxied...

12V Power Supply

I think any amp that does 1000 RMS into 2 ohms should get you right there

OMG! It's got your arm!!!

Check that they are crossed over properly. High passed at around 80Hz is a good place to start. I would not go any lower than that, especially with that much power. They should be able to play quite loud without bottoming out. I'm not too familiar with that amp but make sure the crossovers...
