I think Alpine still hasn't got the ipod connection completely sorted. I have an x305 connected to an iPhone and still have issues with it sometimes not playing the sound at all (despite recognising the connection). I also have noo tried and true method of fixing the problem (sometimes...

http://www.alpine.com.au/downloads/web_owners_manuals/amp_owners_manuals/MRP-F240+MRP-T220.pdf Look at page 11 and 12 for the F240. It clearly illustrates how bridging works on that amp. I think it's a pretty common setup but I'm not sure if it will work for your particular amp.

Looks like a solid setup. Out of interest, what are the wooden planks for?

I took the door trim off before deciding it was too late and not really worth wiring the new speaker wire all the way. Those yellow clips were the most difficult to remove the trim from. I'll have to take the panel off again soon because I can hear something rolling around in there. After...

Okay, I kept my mate up till 4am helping me install the amp but it was definitely worth it (for me anyway), there is a significant improvement in sound quality even though I'm running stock speakers. I took lots of work in progress photos to show the steps I took so watch out if you're on...

And the wire hasn't melted / blown a fuse? That's amazing!

It's not bad running your speakers on too much power. It means that even if you have them turned up really loud, the amp isn't working very hard. Problems arise if you don't have enough power and your speakers start clipping.

No, there would be no point in that, may as well run a single RCA all the way. This is my understanding (I haven't tried it yet): Run a single RCA almost to your amp, from each end of that, connect two Y-splitters. You now have four RCA plugs. The two plugs that originally came from the left...

Hi guys I'm currently in the process of upgrading the sound system in my Subaru Liberty RX. I bought a Alpine X-305 head unit which I have installed already. I'll give a quick run-down on my thoughts on that model now that I've been using it for a week. Good Sound quality is great...
