[QUOTE="rebar703, post: 5391, member: 541308"] About the alpine A friend of mine had a flex 4 amp that for what ever reason wouldnt come on so he let me take it home and take a look "under the hood" and see what i could see (too many sees). When i opened it up and and removed god knows how many screws, i came to find the sh1ttiest soulder job i have ever seen. there were blobs of it all over the the da^^n thing. then there was this crusty,,,,,, what ever it was.( i think it was ressin from the soulder) but it should have been cleaned off the board before it passed some kind of inspection (if alpine had one ). i scrapped it off as best i could and put it back together and gave it back to my friend and told him i didnt see anything blown, or any internal breaker tripped (he11, there wasnt one. alpine told him there was one and they would fix it for around $60) any who. we rewired it but left one of the two wires going to the remote, (anyone know what the other one was, over never seen two?) but the amp did come on, and did play. i dont know what the prob was but the experiance made me turn away from alpine. you prob. think i am an alpine "haiter"but that isnt so, i was dead set on an alpine up untill that day then i went back to my true love, the kenwood excelon a head i would say is one of the very best units on the market. all i ask is you go to crutchfield.com and read up on the details and compair the two. i wish i had a pic of the alpine i took apart so you dont think im full of it, but i would like to see a any proof that the alpine i had was a dud send me a pic of your amps gutts. if you have any ??? email me @ [URL="mailto:"]rebar703@hotmail.com[/URL] post what you say on the fourm to good luck with what you end up with alpine or not [/QUOTE]
