    Alpine Install problems

    There any many things it could be. Process of elimination, start by disconnecting one speaker at a time and turning up the volume. Could be one speaker, or speaker lead is grounded.

    HPF and LFF settings

    If you have amps on mids and highs, leave them off, let the amp do the x'over. No amps x'over at 120 for mids and highs let the sub amp x'over at about 80 for the average system. Every vehicle will sound different, everyone listening to their car will want and expect different sounds. so 80 lp...

    a lil help for a new guy

    You purchased great stuff. Make sure the subs are in a good box and you should be fine. Make sure you have a clean signal going to your amp though.

    Does rear-out/sub-out produce full sound?

    Why not run both of your mids and highs off the front of the amp, and bridge your rear channels for the subs. Make sure you have a proper x'over on both the front and rear channels of the amp. Yes your rear output will play full range. Check the ohm load on the subs to make sure you dont drive...

    Focal Not Good for Hip-Hop/R&B

    I personally like Focal. But there are people that think Bose sounds great too. To each their own. do you plan on running an amp? It sound like you already have your mind made up.

    Do you need a big alt?

    You should be fine with the fact alt on that truck for the amp you currently have. Make sure you have a good battery under the hood. If you are looking for good sound inside the truck you will be fine. If you are trying to get to the point where your neighbors hear you coming then at that point...

    Do you need a big alt?

    More power in, more power out. standard alternator puts out about 14.4v. Your amps ratings are based off of 14.4v usually. Problem is by the time the power reaches the amp, all the way in the back of the vehicle it usually drop down to somewhere around 12v. The first step to helping it stay...

    Opening Car Audio Shop in Orlando

    Agree with the pawn shop! HUGE money, when people are hurting, Pawn shops and check cashing stores thrive. Chick-f-la is always making money. When was the last time you saw a subway go out of business? I love our industry, but remember we are not a necessity.

    Opening Car Audio Shop in Orlando

    I just left my shop near the Hiawassee corner, actually between Kirkman and Hiawassee. The shop had been there for over 15 years, had to move because the owner of the building I was in sold the building. Let me tell you, just showing up on a busy corner is not enough these days. The 5th gear...

    Safe to bridge 250w RMS/500w max sub with a 380w/760w max amp?

    Depends on what ohm load subs you have. Even then it depends on a couple of things, like how is your amp installed? Is it wired with the proper size power wires? What kind of box do you have? What is the voltage at the amp?I have seen the old Eclipse 87 series subs, which had rms power at about...

    Focal Not Good for Hip-Hop/R&B

    Listen for yourself. It is true, there are some speakers that I would not suggest to some people that listen to music, any kind, in a certain type of way. For example I am a huge fan of DLS, but if your intentions are to be heard coming down the block, then they are not the speakers for you. On...

    I Need To Hook Up My Semi With Bass

    If you have a storage unit underneath your bed, what we have done in the past is everything from one bazooka 10", to 4 12" subs in a sealed enclosure. It really depends on how much sound your looking for. There are no grommets that I can think of, last truck we had in our shop we had to create...

    Whine in System, But not through speakers...

    Alibies is leading you down the right path! Turn all your gains all the way down, then turn the radio up to 75% of full volume. Slowly turn up the the gains on the amp until it produces a clean sound with no distortion, once you are at that point, I suggest turning it down just a little. If your...
