    Alpine SPR-176A in a 98 Tacoma

    o yeah, depth is a little shy in the tundra too @ 2 5/16. The alpines are 2 3/4in.

    Alpine SPR-176A in a 98 Tacoma

    According to crutchfield the 98 tacoma only has 2 1/8 in depth and 5/8 in. to play with for height, but that inludes the top of the speaker. So, basically no they don't fit without modding the door. Good speakers though, I like mine.

    ok this is going to sound extremely noobish, but i have no choice

    I don't have much experience with installs, but tons dismantling cars. Every one is different (duh) but they all have their little tricks to them. Some of the newer cars have their wiring harness from the battery run into the fender then back into the drivers side kick panel. If you have that...

    Gain setting question...

    The MX is off. Glad to hear that about the amps, my curiosity is about ruining them by not adjusting the gains correctly. I got both of these for the price of one so I know I won't come across a deal like that again. They are definately high quality, I ran a ppi pcx-440 for about 2 hours and...

    Gain setting question...

    I emailed Arc Audio and they said their amps are tested at 1khz and my HU won't see 4v at 1khz ever so it would work fine. I still have the problem with the gains though. I checked each channel and still way too high. I have the internal amp in my HU set to off, and put the volume at 25/35...

    Weak signal from turn on lead

    I know this is an old thread, but I'm having the same problem and I'm not sure I understand. The relay goes before everything? If you have an electronic crossover and multiple amps would the relay go between the HU and the crossover?

    Gain setting question...

    I didn't know that about the input. Will that screw it up or cause a problem? My HU goes to 35, and I tried it everywhere 20, 25, 26, 28 everywhere. It only moves if I turn it down to 16 or less. Thanks for the quick reply. I want to get this in ASAP! I've heard alot about them and I'm...

    Gain setting question...

    I have an arc audio 2100cxl that I just got and when I tried to set the gains (theres one per channel) I can't make them read less than 61v with the volume at 85%. That is checking the bridged channels. it should be at 38.98v for 380 x1 @4ohms. The gains are all the way down and it's still...

    how to burn MP3 files?

    mp3s are made like a cdrom. you can make several folders for each artist or whatever and fit a ton on a disc. make sure they are at least a bitrate of 128 or higher or they sound like crap. I've never tried to make the .wav files into different folders, but it wouldn't really make sense...

    What's the best way to splice 4ga power cable?

    I like the stinger dealie. I found out about that after I posted, I just could find one for nothing. Thanks!

    The whole "watt is a watt" thing...

    Couldn't the components of the amp have some effect? If you build something with crap, and the same thing with spec exeeding parts usually the better built whatever is going to work better than the other.

    chekc out my new sound deadening annimated guide

    Nice, if you did the site yourself great job. It sounds shallow, but I think that will actually help your sales. I dig the suggestions when you click on the part. I didn't realize how important the roof was.
