    Diodes on Head Unit’s Negative?

    Hey Everyone, Robbo here, from Australia. I have been facing a hiss sound with my Nissan Patrol for months. I have taken it to multiple car audio installers and their complete failures owe me nearly $1,500AUD in labour fee’s. To test the theory of it being a faulty head-unit, I took it out of...

    Alpine Type R Blown?

    I have an Alpine Type R 12 inch sub and i have come to believe it is blown. Whenever a sound source, not just a car amp but even a small home stereo is hooked up to it, it plays fine at very low volume, but once i turn it up a bit on the home stereo it sounded like it would cut out when the bass...

    Morel Tempo 6 or Morel Tempo Ultra 602

    I'm trying to decide which one I should I get. I heard Morel is really good at producing mid-bass sound which is what I'm looking for in the front driver and passenger seat. I have definitely heard a lot of good feedback about the Tempo Ultra 602. Does the Tempo 6 produce the same amount of...

    question about wiring amp

    So I was looking at the hifonics 2600.1d for 2 alpine swr-12d4's. Can you wiring both subs at 4 ohms to the amp. If I can would it still split the currents so that the 1100 rms you get at 4ohm is split to 550 per sub. I know that I'm not gonna be pushing the subs to their limit but I want to...

    Alpine Type R 10" vs 12"

    Hi guys. I've been doing a little research on these subs, as I currently have a 10" Type R in a 1.75 cu ft box at 34 hz. I am looking to upgrade to a 12, as the 10 just isn't loud enough for me. It will be in an identical box, with the same 1000 watt Rms amp powering it. Based on what I've been...

    Upgrading from my Alpine Type R 12" @700w ?? Sub suggestions please?

    Im looking for more power, as my current type r (the old 600wrms version) running at 700watt @4ohms just isnt enough anymore. Is it worth me upgrading to the new type R which takes 1000wrms?? would a jump from 700 to 1000 even be that noticable? My current Amp (kicker ex series) is capable of...

    Hey guys. I've currently got a 10" Alpine SWR-1043D in a .8ft^3 sealed box getting around 850W at 2 ohm, and it sounds pretty good. I'd like to upgrade, though, as I'd like a sub with a bit better quality, and possibly more volume. I don't really want to change my enclosure, as I have a custom...

    Two kicker comp 12's one Alpine Type R 10

    Real odd question. I haven't decided if I want to buy two kicker comp 12s and just put them in the sealed box I already have in my truck or if I should go with one alpine type R 10 In a ported box. I've heard that in a small area like my truck a ported box is a good choice.
