    MS Zune / Alpine Headunits

    The patch to run the Zune as an external HD is readily available from places like zunescene.com. I'm not sure why this would not work?

    4 channel, 150w, small footprint

    They are indeed digital switching amplifiers (PDX line) and are extremely efficient.

    Rockford Fosgate Series 1 2030 2-channel

    Rated power is 15wx2 @ 4 ohms. My buddy had the 4060 (rated 30X4) version of that amp back in ~93/94 ish. It ran a Quart 6/4/tweet combo and a single JL 10W5 dual 4 wired to 2 ohms. It sounded great and got plenty loud. It would shut off from overheating when ran hard, but who could blame it. It...

    Sounds like you're referring to the SPG555 subwoofer. You need to check the ported box specs again. It calls for 2.1 cubic feet, not 1. And yes this is definately a very nice driver. 3.5" voicecoil, 3.75" p-p linear excursion... Heads and shoulders above thier G5 series subs, which are no slouches.

    What happened to 2 gauge?

    As the title states: What happened to all of the 2 gauge wire available from almost every major wire company? This used to be a very common size wire in car audio. I'd rather not incur the additional cost and installation hassle of installing 1/0 since I'm only running two of the Alpine PDX...

    new model alpine

    Forget the motorized face and buttons changing colors. The real turnoff is the lack of time-alignment, 3-way x-over capability and parametric EQ functions of the old 9835 and 9855 models. The ONLY thing the 9857 has going for it is the full-speed iPod interface IMO. Why did you abondon your...

    Optical vs digi coax

    As previously stated there are physical differences between cables optimized for audio information and those optimized for video/digital transfer. Will the cables WORK interchangeably? Yes! But remember a spoon would also WORK to dig a large hole in the ground. It may not be the best tool or...

    Boston OVAL sub update ....

    So again how does that ported box sound???? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Optical vs digi coax

    Yes, for the most part that is correct that a digital signal can be passed over any coaxial cable (two wires running on the same axis), however audio interconnect cables are typically 50 ohms, while video/digital cables are typically 75ohms. Monster Cable still believes 100 ohm cable is superior...
