I've got an Alpine 9825. I don't think it plays mp3 cd's.

Hey. Just getting back into car audio. Just installed an Alpine HU in my truck. I've got a headphone jack wired into the aux. I've been using my laptop to test the quality of different songs downloaded from the internet. So now I'm thinking an ipod would be just the ticket instead of...

I have a ED e10k2 that I had in a sealed box in an extended cab pickup down firing. I was happy with this setup. I'm looking to put the 10 in my 01 yukon. Should I go sealed again? downfiring? I'll be sending about 180 watts to it @ 4 ohms wiring the sub for a 4 ohm load. Anyone have any...

OK, so I finished building my sub box to go under my back seat drivers side of my 98 extended cab full size GMC. it is a single 10 ed e10k in a downfiring setup. With the sub mounted and the box in place the foam surround is actually resting on the carpet about half way around cause there's a...

I have a new e10k and had a couple questions before I build a box for it. I want to fire it down because it is going under my rear seat in a 98 extended cab gmc. Is 1.5" enough clearance between the mounting surface and the floor? Will screws be strong enough to mount it in 3/4" mdf, or do i...

Getting everything ready for my install. Got a couple questions on wiring. On a binding post for speakers is it better to leave the wire bare, tin the end or use solderless connectors? Then as far as solderless connectors, will I notice any difference in gold plated ones versus regular ones?

The manual for the 7894 refers to a connector for audio video in...part # KCA-121B Maybe try http://www.pacparts.com I have the same head unit and was thinking about this also. Let me know if you find such a connector.

OK, so the guy that I bought from was xbay2000. The product I purchased was a alpine 7894. The ad described the unit as brand new in the box, remote included. The guy has almost all good feedback. looked pretty safe. when I received the unit it was NOT brand new and it consisted of only the...

Can I get in trouble for badmouthing an ebay seller by name? Does Anyone know if there's anything someone could do to hurt a power sellers sales. I got screwed over by someone on ebay recently. It was my first ever ebay experience. What pisses me off most though is this guy probably makes...

OK I need help picking a sub. I've got everything else I need for my new system. I'll be powering the sub with a US acoustics USX4085 off the rear channels bridged. I want a sub that can be set up for 4 ohms. I want a good SQ sub. The box that I have is sealed .716 cubic feet and the max...

Thanks for the replies. So the JL dual 2ohm. Which would be the best way to wire it? Wire the voice coils in series and bridge channels3&4? Or hook up a channel to each voice coil? also should I use the sub out on my head unit? also which way should I fire the sub? up down or forward...

So this would work good? Any other single 10" I should consider? Would it be ideal to run the amp bridged and have the sub wired at 2 ohms? I am going for a SQ system. It's going in an extended cab pickup so the sub will be in a sealed box because of lack of space.

I recently purchased this amp to power my whole system. I'm gonna run my components off the front channels 1&2. I was planning on running a Sub off 3&4 bridged. I haven't purchased the sub yet. I want to get a JL Audio 10w3v2 d4. This is a dual 4ohm rated at 300Watts rms. My...
