thanks guys. i was just worried that something could be a little loose in the new deck while i can still exchange it. but some further updates: i plugged in a phone charger with a light to use as a acc/wire "test light" to see if it blinks out with the deck, but the deck would not cut out...

i replaced my old jvc with a kenwood and noticed that when i turn off the engine to listen to music or when im listening to music in "ACC" mode and turn the ignition to "on" to roll up/down windows (not starting), the deck sometimes powers down and then right back up (with no loss of memory or...

does this get you loud by making you scream in agony or somthing? lol. if so what do you think the SPL of my mouth will be? should i port it with a straw? lol

cool. thank you guys for helping me in my noobish questions, with real answers.

so 4 of the 8 mounting screws dont tighten onto my box. they just keep spinning. is this ok or should i fix this some how? and how could i fix this easily? maybe rotate it a little and making new holes would work?

the dual 2 ohm is convienient for running in pairs. the dual 4 ohm is convienient to run as one sub. because to power two of them you would want a dual 2 ohm so it can be powered by a 2ohm amp. easier and cheaper to find an amp that does 1000w at 2 ohms than 1000w at 4 ohms. if you have two of...

so i set my gain with a dmm and when i got to my target ac volts (44.7) the gain was at 0.5v. i have a pionneer hu 4v preouts, vol at 45 out of 62, eq and subwoofer level at 0. what gives?

get one at fred meyers for 15-20 $ and i returned mine after.

if your amp is more powerful than the sub, you should set your gain with a dmm to make sure your not overdoing it. then you can mess with the settings on your head unit to bump it up a little to your taste, because some songs are quite a bit quieter, so i find myself changing the eq for almost...

i set it like that so that if sombody mess with the hu settings they wont blow my sub (too badly). if the gain went any higher with my current HU settings, my amp would be sending clipped signals to the sub, like tricking my amp to do more than it is able would be bad. so did you mean turn the...

if i tuned it at a lower volume, the gain would be higher due to the loss of some signal. i would have more HU headroom but my amps headroom would be the same wouldnt it? so whatchu mean? i dont follow. clarify

i just recently installed a 12" alpine type r dual 2 ohm sub, a alpine mrp-m850 amp and a pioneer deh-p840mp HU. i set the gains with a DMM to 44.7 acv with my HU at volume 45/60 and my eq flat and my HU bass at + 4/6. i now listen to my system at that settings. so my amp doesnt have any...

hey did you pick one up yet? i have one that i was thinking of selling or trading.
