So, yesterday I tried plugging in the new ipod and everything worked this time. The only thing I noticed was that the hold switch was not on and it was playing a play list that had less then 255 songs in it. I am going to do some further testing to try and figure out why it didn't work the...

Hello all, I have an Alpine 9835 with the KCA-420i ipod adapter in my car and everything works fine with my old generation 5 ipod video. The poblem is that I recently got a new ipod classic (80 gig) and the alpine ipod adaper does not seem to control my new ipod. The alpine logo does not...

It's been a while but I believe With your engine on or your Key in ACC and the unit off press and hold the "func" button (it is a little button on the right hand side) After a couple of seconds a menu should appear allowing you to set the clock.

I am looking for the gain knob and wiriing for a US Amps USA-600x. Please PM me if you have one of these for sale.

Perhap I **** at searching but I couldn't find anything about the Orion HP series. Does anyone have any experience with these woofers? Is this sub geared more for SPL over SQ? Or phrased another way how do these subs sound Any help would be apperciated.

Background: Headunit: Alpine 9835 Amp: US Amps USA-600x Deck Crossover settings on the subout: 80Hz 0dB 24dB rolloff Sub: Image Dynamics IDQ12D2 wired in series (4 ohms) I tried to set my gain using a DMM and since then my sub has been sounding like junk. It is no longer loud and is barely...

I tried to setup my amp to run at 500 Watts (42.72 V) the other day and the only reading I got from my DMM was 68-69V regardless of where I set the gain. The volt read never changed more then a tenth or two. Does this mean things were clipping? I am a little confused about the Alpine Sub...

I installed a USA-600X amp and an IDQ12D2 recently and would like a little help understanding a few of the settings on the amp. The sub is in a very small sealed box 0.85^ft3. I've done a bit of search and I haven't been able to dig up the answers I am looking for. 1) The amp has a subsonic...

Hey Guys, I just wanted to point out that cardomain.com is having a pretty big mobile audio sale. Notably the Image Dynamics subs are discounted A LOT Plus they are offering free shipping the 12IDQ's and possibly several other subs. I just ordered an 12IDQD2 and it was at my door within 10...

I am trying to determine exactly how big I should build my box for a single IDQ12D2. The ID website has this chart. It lists 14hz / 43 hz with a -3b in car / free space for a 0.85 ft^3 box. Can someone please explain to me what that means? I listen to Rock/Blues and Jazz primarly so I'd like...

It will probably help to first have a little background on the setup I am working towards. I have a US AMPS 600x And I am considering the Image Dynamics 12IDQD2 I am going to attempt to build my own enclosure and I am trying to determine exactly how big the box needs to be. I found a Speaker...

I may have posted this in the wrong section of the board previously but I am just looking for a bit of advice for connecting an amp up to a JVC KD LX-10. The deck does not have a sub out so does that mean you use the Rear Out instead? Are there any issues running a sub this way? I am trying...

I have a buddy that has a JVC KD LX-10 and he wants to hook up a sub. I've only ever had decks with a sub pre-out. To hook up a sub and amp to this deck do I just plug into the Rear outs?

All the wires meet at the back of the trunk but the power wire comes up perpendicular to the RCAs and speaker wire. I need to take the dash appart again because I am not sure if I noticed a ground wire running from the back of my Alpine 9835 deck. I believe the instructions for the deck said...

I have a 98 Honda Accord Coupe and when my stereo is on I have a high pitched whine that changes as the RPMs increase when under acceleration. My deck is an alpine 9835. Are there any Accord owners here that have delt with an solved this problem?
