I had my 5 channel alpine amp installed last week and the shop told me it had a bad rear channel. I tried putting both rear speakers on channel 3 so that there would at least be some signal coming out of both rears. There is still no sound coming out of the rear right speaker. I don't really...

I want to install a 5 channel amp with my factory deck and I was told today that I cannot use line output converters because the signal would be terrible and i would have no control over fade/bass/etc. He said even good ones like Soundgate would still have pops and noise and would be a messy...

I went to SD car stereo. They are expensive. My amp that I bought new for $270 was $550. They quoted the labor for a set of components and the amp at $140, without parts. That's just to put the speakers in factory spots too, not even custom mounting of the tweeters. He also said that a LOC...

I am trying to figure out what to put into my single cab Chevy. I bought the 5 channel amplifier from Alpine (MRV-F450) and I'm not sure what sub to get because it only gets 200w. Would it be a bad idea to run a 10" ed k off of this amp, since its recommended to have 325w? If so what is a...
