So, four months after I get my Alpine HU and Soundstream amp all tweaked and sounding GREAT, some bastards got into my building and ripped out my stuff. I need some suggestions for an alarm for my Accord. Which cos. are good stuff? I would really like one that has a hood open detector so the...

I bought my Infinity 6x9s from an UNauthorized dealer. After a while I was playing around with one of those sound test CDs and noticed that one of the 6x9s wasn't right - it was cutting off above 8kHz. This is a couple of months after the install. It wasn't the crossovers - it was the...

I'm gonna change the HU ground after I get a SUB - haven't had time lately to pull apart the whole dash. I traced the wire where the HU ground goes and it's on the frame of the dash and I think it's commected thru a little black box - have no idea what the box is.

YUP - i didn't think it was gonna work. Moved my ground ("pro" installed) from under the back seat over a couple of feet to the factory ground screw for the gas tank sensor. I didn't think it was gonna work because it wasn't much farther away than the original point but after some dremeling on...

will do! Hope you guys is right.

Did find a 0db tone and didn't have to use the fancy math- binkster.net - he's got a great CD you can download.

I asked my friend to help me figure out the voltage on the speaker outs in order to set the gains. The problem arose that I didn't have a 0db tone but only a -12 tone and he tried to set me straight. I didn't have to do this sh!t with my home stereo! Below is HyperGeek's response. dB = 10...

basslink - only if it's in real good shape. here's my e-mail budala@comcast.net

I tracked down the whine - SH!TTY RCAs courtesy of my "professional" installer. Got rid of the sh!tty MAS POWER brand for a pair of RockFos ones - WHAMMO - no more idle whine. But now I have slight alternator whine! The real problem is the NOISE. I have a new Alp 9830, Infinity Kappa 6.5...

Thanks - my Alpine 9830 read 2.4v at 2/3 of the way up and 4.2 v on full blast.

I PMed you - gimme a call. Interested in Basslink.

I was thinking of getting the self-powered Infinity basslink (10" with a 200w) but wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions for a real small sub/box and small amp. For instance, I think JL makes a 6" - so how about 2 of those in a small box with a small amp? Of course I'm not looking for a...

Here's a free download of all kindsa test tones, including the 1 khz 0db. http://www.binkster.net/extras.shtml#cd

how do you know that the NCH tones are not 0db? Also - my friend who's an elec engineer is gonna give me a formula to find out what the correct voltage to speakers should be based on what db your 1kHz recording is, ie, if you have a -12db recording then you'll have a number to divide your...

I have a voltage meter, can you please tell me the proper way to check?
