Driving back to school I noticed that there was no sound coming from my drivers side speaker. I'm running Infinity Kappa Components (6.5) powered by a US Acoustics 80x2 Amp and an Alpine HU. I get very very faint sound from the woofer and no sound from the tweeter. I switched the RCA L/R...

Found it. A week ago I had the door panel repainted at the dealership due to being keyed. Apparently they removed the interior door panel to get at the lock components and all. I found globs of the adhesive they use on the door all over the woofer and while removing the door panel, they...

I have an Infinity Kappa 6.5 component tweeter in/on my drivers side door that I happened to notice today isnt putting out any sound. It's not crackling or anything either, it's doing nothing. Any idea's what this could be? Obviously the problem is at the x-over or after, so it's either the...

Okay, sounds good to me. Some just told me that Apline's tend to draw more current, thus you needed a stronger power/ground. Thanks

So I'm told that if I purchase an Apline head unit, I have to hard wire the power and ground to the battery/chasiss. Is this true? Or can I simply use the wiring harness. I'm at school and dont have access to a garage so it's the difference between being able to install a new headunit here in...

I've been out of the car audio world for a while, but I'm ramping up to install a new system in my Camaro. All I'm wondering is if Alpine is still leading the pack for reasonably priced head units? I'm not sure which model I want yet but am I safe with any of them? Any reason to pick one over...

I think you need to just listen to them both and see which you like the best. Nobody here can tell you one way or another, we can only say which we like and what each speaker is geared towards. IE- Infinity is SQ... -Marksman

I listen to Linkin Park quite a bit but I'm having a problem with the Reanimation CD. For some reason I cannot get their voices to sound right on my system. They are drown out by the music(which sounds very good). It's almost like I need a volume control for the voices. I've played a little...

Check out the Car audio and Security forums at http://www.grandamgt.com They have a copy of crutchfield's instructions stickied to the top of the forum. Feel free to e-mail me at n_kimber@yahoo.com if you have questions about the HU install! -Marksman

There MIGHT be an adapter but I'm 99% sure there is not. I have a 97 and my controls dont work either. -Marksman

Of a blown or damaged speaker? The past few days my system has not been sounding like it should be. It sounds duller, more like a stock system, not as much depth. It could just be me, maybe my ears are not like normal right now, but I wanted some opinions on what the problem could be. I have...

What is the difference between the Infinity Kappa and Kappa Perfect line in 10" subs? Why would I buy the Perfect over the Kappa? Thanks! -Marksman

I have the Infinities and they sound really really nice. They dont give off tons of bass, but the mids and highs are awesome! Be sure to give them the right amount of power though... -Marksman

Yeah thanks guys. I just wanted to be sure I wouldnt f*ck anything up. -Marksman

Can I turn on/off and adjust my amps crossover while music is playing? Or do I need to stop the music, make the adjustment, then play again? Thanks! -Marksman
