I just purchased this alarm for my 2000 Celica GT. I spent $200 getting it installed from a car audio shop... more than I paid for the alarm itself off of eBay. So I wish you luck installing it.

Here is a link to product specifications: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39740&item=5738088268&rd=1 Can you tell by this if the amplifier will allow bi-amping?

The amp is a 4/3/2 channel amplifier. I'm afraid I'm not really aware of all the terminology, so I don't know what bi-amping means. Also, what do you mean by adjusting the "gain" ... is this something adjusted through the head unit or amplifier?

After reading these boards I've decided not to install components in the rear of my 2000 Celica, but that leaves me with this question... how should I install the following components? I will have SPR-176A component speakers for my front... I already have a CDA-9835 head unit and I have a...

So alternatively, I can install all 4 speakers, but if I want to see what "front fill only" sounds like I can just set the balance all the way to the front speakers? Hypothetically, this would ensure the imaging was "correct"?

OK, can someone please tell me exactly what "imaging" means? Sorry for the newb question.

So if I left the factory speakers for the rears, would I power just the two front speakers with the amp? If I don't have decent quality rear speakers, aren't I running the risk of blowing the factory rear speakers?

OK, I was planning on having two sets of Alpine SPR-176A's installed in my car to go with an Alpine MRV-F340 amp to power both sets. After reading some posts, I'm confused about whether this is a good plan. Will the quality of sound go down if I use this setup? Will having rear components...

I've always been partial to "Head Like A Hole" by NIN. What about you guys?

Just to clarify, the following setup would work well with my car? Sub Amp = MRD-M1001 Subs = (2) SWR-1221D Front/Rear Amp = MRV-F340 Front/Rears = (2) SPR-176A Appreciate the help guys...

Hi, Answers to your questions: 1) The speakers are 6.5" and the tweeters are 3/4". 2) I'd like to spend approximately $1,000 on speakers, subs and amps. 3) The kind of music I listen to: electronic and alternative rock mostly, but I listen to basically everything with the exception of...

Hi, I have a 2000 Toyota Celica and want suggestions on what kind of speakers to get. I'm a newbie so I"m not sure exactly what I should be looking for, but I know I need at least 1 amp and speakers/subwoofers. So far my system includes a CDA-9835 head unit, with a Sirius satellite tuner and...

The main reason I want to go with all Alpine is so I can control all my settings through my head unit. If I get different subs and sub amp, can I still do that through my CDA-9835?

I'm fixing to have some speakers installed in my 2000 Celica and am interested in knowing if the following setup is good. For front and rear speakers I plan on going with the Alpine SPR-176A's and powering those with an Alpine amp, MRV-F340. For subs I was thinking of two SWR-1241D's with a...
