I suppose I just assumed it. What in the hell else is it, and if not a factory amp turn on, then where is the factory amp turn on and what is that orange wire and how would I hook it up with an aftermarket HU. Thanks

Just so you know, that L7 is the perfect sub for that amp. If you were to get a 4 ohm DVC sub, it would wire down to 2 ohms and sound fantastic and blow her away with the bass. My friend has that exact setup in his Taurus, and Pontiacs are excellend acoustically. Get yourself a ported box...

I have been having trouble trying to figure out where to run my 2 ga. power wire from my battery to my trunk. There seems to be no holesin the fire wall to run it because the car was never offered as a manual. Any other places people have had success? Thanks

It is Bose equipped, yes. I cant take a picture at the moment, but it has a wiring harness hooked in back of the factory HU like every car has, but it has an extra orange wire with a clip on the end that connects to another spot at the back of the HU. When I cut that clip off, and crimped the...

Well the amp has a single orange wire going directly to the factory HU. On the end of that wire is a connector that plugs into the factory HU. We cut that off, and crimped into the Alpine HU. When the speakers didnt work, we crimped that connector back on and plugged it back into the factory...

Hey, I was wondering what I need to do to the factory amp in my car to hook up my head unit. It is an Alpine CDA-9831. I hooked up the head unit, and then the orange wire from the factory amp to the extra orange wire on the head unit, and it powered up and played, but no sound from speakers...

Whats so bad about that? The guy says "the three of these sound just right together." I believe him. I don't know why, but I do.

Wow, Broke, you are talking 100% out of your ass. welding cable works perfectly fine for car audio installation. No one is talking wire for light switches. Who uses 1/0 awg to power light switches? Also, welding is almost always cheaper than car audio wire. Please let me know where a...

^Yup

Hey, I have done a search, and when it was asked, no one seemed to be sure. So, does anyone know what the price of the new RE amp is yet? I know price will vary for delivery, but what is the amp price? Thanks

I have installed a 12 Type X, and it sounds very nice and loud in a ported box, but it IS aimed at SQ, and for a 10, a relatively small sealed enclosure is perfect for it. car audio magizine did a review on one a few months ago, and it explains it well. You said you are going for SQ, so the...

Whats up, I just got a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi, the supercharged one, and I was wondering how many amps the alternator is on it. Thanks a lot

Hey, back again with a new car and soon to be new system. I want to do it right this time, so before I do anything, I am going to get a HO alternator, and an Optima Yellow or Blue top and I am goping to use 0 gauge wire. weldingsupply.com seems to be the best place to get it for cheap, I was...

Type E's, man?? What the hell.
