    It Died!

    Turned on the truck today and ... no music. My Alpine IVA-W203 was frozen on 87.7 fm and volume on 0. No controls worked, not even via the remote. Red power light flashes quickly. Nothing has worked to fix it: reset, disconnecting it, etc. So it's coming out and going back. Should have the new...

    Callin on the Boston lovers.

    I have Pro 60's in the rear running off an Arc Audio 4100 bridged. It's 185 per channel, plus the speakers are 3 ohms, adding about 25%. They handle it easily, but they lack a little mid bass.

    Boston PRO60 SE's - active, passive, or bi-amped??

    I'm running the Pro 60's with almost 200 watts off a bridged Arc Audio 4100 with the passive crossovers. The gains are turned all the way down however. I've never had an issue with them. I'm running almost 400 watts to the BA Z6's with the passive crossovers and they haven't flinched either...

    Alpine upgrade questions

    Nice to see the brain trust here can come through with the goods when needed. Finally had the time to do the research and came up with the answers to the compatibility questions. Thanks.

    Alpine upgrade questions

    Can't seem to find a solid answer to these questions. My head unit (IVA-W200) got jacked while I was at the gym and the insurance will replace and upgrade it. The current set up has an optical cable running to an H701 processor. I know the W205 will control the H701, but will the W203 and the...

    Looking for amp for Boston Z6s (200-250x2)

    I run my Z6's off an Arc Audio FS4150 bridged. Because the speakers are 3 ohms, you get a boost in power, but the amp has to be able to pull it off without overheating. I thought this might be a problem when bridging the Arc, but it worked out after calling them. Spec sheet says they should be...

    Need help with component choices

    You might try the Boston Acoustics Pro 60s. Great speakers and they fit your price range and sound great. Very alive. You might try putting a piece of deadener and/or a speaker mat directly behind them to help with the mid bass. It adds a little weight, but not like full deadening. Good luck.

    80gb Ipod Questions

    That is the way to do it. What you will find out though is that you cannot create new playlists if there is no library. For some reason you have to have access to the library to move things around on the ipod. I have my library on a separate hard drive and if it's not plugged in, I can't move...
