Better iPod controller = 9857 Best SQ controls = 9855 The 9855 will cost about $100 for the iPod control module. The 9857 control cable is $30. 9855 has internal crossovers, time alignment, 7 band Parametric EQ, and 4-volt output. The 9857 has 2-volt outputs, bass/treble controls, BBE...

I currently have an Alpine CDA-9855 head unit. I want to buy a MP3 Player to use with it. Am I better off getting an iPod, then a KCA-420i to control it? Or just an aux-in adapter to connect to the line out of an iPod? The other players I was thinking about are the Creative Zen Vision:M...

I've had one up until the current system I have, since I went active, it's just not possible to run an Epicenter (it needs a full range input), so I sold it. I say go for it! Nice thing is that they hold their value pretty well, so you can buy one, and if you don't like it, sell on eBay or the...

I bought a 4 Channel Stinger Helix 17' RCA Interconnect off eBay from Bag Boy. It was about $40 shipped, so it's at least 1/2 the price of anything else that was available locally. I ordered it late on a Tuesday, and received it on Thursday. Quality is simply awesome. Great product. I am...

A fuse will not limit the output of an amp. Say you have a 3000w amp, that would normally use a 250 amp fuse. Put a 40 amp fuse in it, and it will not limit the power to 500 watts. You will be able to play the amp just fine. It'll just blow the fuse when the power level is high enough to pop...

Correct. Double the current for 2 seconds or something like that. Recommended fuse size for the x600.1 is 60 amps. Birthsheet power output is 800+ watts RMS. I did happen to pop the 30 amp fuse today.

If you're talking '06 models, then Pioneer beats Alpine, by a large margin. Alpine took out the SQ functions like Active Crossovers, Time Alignment, etc. in favor of better iPod controls. I wanted something that could run active, for less than $300. I ended up with an Alpine 9855 I bought on...

You need to see it to believe it. Emeron paint, $3500 per quart. The artist used just over 2 quarts. Was painted at Bike Week in Daytona '99. It changes color depending on the light. At night it's black, during the day it's red/blue, when it's cloudy, it's dark blue/black. Lots of 3-D...

A friend of mine runs a x1200.1 on a single sledgehammer 10. He's had it for about 2 years now, and no problems. I think you'd be ok running a 600 on a 12" sledge. I am punishing a 12" 4-ohm sub rated at 150w RMS with my x600.1. It's very clean power. All I had was a 30 amp fuse for it, and...

Myself, I would choose something like a Phoenix Gold x400.1 or x600.1 if you can find them. Great amps. I have a x600.1 on a single 4 ohm 12" sub, and it's pretty crazy. They make full power into any load from 1 to 4 ohms. The x400.1's are about $130 shipped from eBay, and the x600.1's are...

I am borrowing a friend of mine's car (03 Honda Accord) that has two of the 25 to life Punch 75's. One on the mids/highs, and one on the subs. He's running Morel components in front, and Peerless XXLS 10" sub. Needless to say, I just placed an order with Crutchfield for a couple of the Punch...

If you can get the 25 to life Punch 75 at that price, GET IT! A friend of mine has a 25 to life Punch 45 on a pair of 10's, and it's INSANE. Birthsheet said around 400w x 1. He paid $500 for his Punch 45! The 25 to life Punch 75 will be 600+ watts into a 2 ohm load, just read the reviews at...

I was wondering what I should do for rear fill on my system. Here's what I have: '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDA-9855 3-way Active mode a/d/s/ PQ20 powering the fronts Morel MDT-30 Tweeters in stock dash locations Dayton 7" RS180-4 Mids in doors Phoenix Gold x600.1 on a sub 12"...

They are a sort of a satin finish black. Here's another pic.
