I have an Alpine mrx-m100 powering a 15" type R, and tyesterday I was playing a very bass heavy song pretty loud and during a long bass note, my bass went out. I went to the stereo shop shortly after and I blew my inline fuse under the hood (4 gauge wire btw, no big 3 upgrade yet). Popped in a...

I already got a new box. It was excuse for me to upgrade. As far as the amp connections, all wires are tight. And a wire grommet, I didn't check but I trust that they know what they are doing there but I guess it doesn't hurt to check. I was going to head back to the shop tomorrow morning to...

Got the new box hooked everything up and nothing My amp has a power light and it's doesn't come on, however the 4 gauge power wire from my battery feels warm, fuse is still good. My amp also has 4 25A fuses and they are all good. Is it possible that I blew my amp without blowing any of it's...

Well, I went to tighten those nuts and I tightened one of them too much and broke the screw I guess I'll be getting the new enclosure sooner than I thought. I don't want to waste time fixing this crappy box. I'm going to try to pick it up today and hope the loose terminal nuts are the...

I pulled the sub and each set of terminals read 3.7 ohms. I do not see any tinsel leads on the speaker, they must be enclosed within the sub, but everything seems solid with the sub itself. The nuts holding the terminals to the inside of the terminal cup inside the box are a bit loose (loose...

I do know my sub is dual 4 ohm. So of it reads 4, then it should be ok or am I missing something here? Sorry it's a bit confusing. Oh and I didn't ask the model of the ID sub he offered. He just said it was around the same power handling as my type R, around 800 or so rms.

So measure the wires coming from the amp with the multi meter? At what setting and what am I looking for?

The equipment was fairly new when I bought it. It has been working great for a week now every day at high volumes. It was just this particular song with super deep and long bass notes that seemed to do it. I'll pull it out this weekend and have a look. Thanks for explaining what the tinsel...

I let the shop handle everything as far as setting the gains, connecting the ground etc. so I'm sure it's sanded down to metal as it's a pretty reputable higher end shop. I have not done any other wiring upgrades to the car yet. He wanted to sell me an Image Dynamics 15 for $150 once this one...

Last week I bought an Alpine combo consisting of a Type R 15 and an Alpine mrx-m100 amp to power it, with the sub in a pre fab slot ported box (for now). I've been VERY happy with it in my car, until today I was playing a bass heavy song at close to max volume, then my bass cut out. I popped...

I want it it's just the long drive...I don't get free time during the week due to work and I have a really busy weekend. It's too bad you won't ship.

Looks nice how do you think it would work for my Alpine Type R? I have to measure my space tomorrow but I'm sure it won't be a problem as its for a big body Cadillac Fleetwood.

I am in Orange County, CA. High end shops around here want 300 to design and build a good enclosure so I am looking for a reasonably priced enclosure built or if someone has an old one laying around let me know the specs.

Hello, I got out of the car audio game a couple years ago and haven't logged onto the forums. I tried to log in today and my e-mail address wasn't recognized. I was OC*SS on here before. Anyway, I am in the market to buy some audio, and when browsing the classifieds and clicking on a topic...
