hey all, i just installed my Alpine headunit along with my JL 12W6 and 250 watt amp into my Audi. The only problem is an incredibly annoying whine from the rear speakers which are run through the factory amplifier. The fronts(run off the deck) are also much quieter than the rears. So now I am...

nm, i got it checked out and i wired it wrong. toasted the sub. its being sent back.

yes its dual voice coilover and it is 6 ohms per coil.

finally i have a good sub -JL 12W6. The problem is that its running off a bad amp(mysterious Magnavox 640 watts @ 2 ohms). When the sub was wired to 3 ohms the amp would simply not even start, it even blew its fuse twice. So i rewired it, the only other way is 12 ohms, and now it will play for...

when the program opens and asks which type of CD to burn choose Video-CD. If you are burning multiple video files, then you can choose to Enable the menu using the tab on the top of the window, doing this is self explanatory. Then Simply click New and the 2 windows will open, find and drag your...

if anyone would just stop to think a second, they'd notice on the 7893 box nowhere does it say CD-TEXT. Yet on the 7894 it has the logo CD-TEXT right on the box. Its not your burner, your mp3s, or wavs, it simply doesnt do it. You can type the cd name in on your head unit but it will not display...

go to http://www.vcdhelp.com and learn all about vcds. it involves more than just converting and burning. I found it easiest to use Nero and let it encode and burn, but saving quality in audio and video is the hardest part. Nero looses a lot of quality. vcdhelp.com though has a ton of resources...

Recently I added a head unit(ALpine cda-7893) to my system and finally gained control of the Autotek Street Machine SXZ2150 amp from the head unit. After about a week of great sounding music, suddenly the amp has refused to turn on. When I start the car, the red safety light on the amp blinks...

here in CA it gets hot. for some reason my burned CDs always skip and make scratched noises in the heat but not in the cold. Is this common? I play my CDs in my stock CD BMW Alpine-made changer. does this happen in all CD changers? are there CD changers that prevent this? thanks
