[QUOTE="jaw22, post: 4581632, member: 593677"] I'm installing a new system in my 1996 Lexus ES300, and we've run into a couple issues. Its an Alpine IDA-x300 HU, JBL amp and a 12" kicker sub. 1. As soon as everything was connected, we noticed that the volume control for the speakers was messed up. The speakers are stock and connected to the car's factory amp, but when I turn the volume to 5 it sounds like it should when it's at 20. The speakers themselves cut out when they get to around 11-12. It would be bearable, but the subwoofer and amp seem to be at the level they should be. At level 5 there is very little bass, even though the speakers are blaring. 2. The iPod connection through the HU doesn't work. I plug it in and it says "device error." Its a 5th generation iPod video 80gb, I have no idea why it wouldn't work. 3. When we gave up for the day, we unplugged the amp and I drove home. The radio was on through the new HU and factory speakers. When I accelerated, i noticed a whistling sound. The harder the acceleration, the louder the whistle. I shut off the radio for the rest of the drive. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
