well, the fuse on the car blew but the HU didnt go on when hooked directly to a battery. It is a pioneer unit if that helps any. If i remember correctly, like an my alpine, you had to switch 2 wires or something to get it to work. Is there some trick on Pioneer's?? I'm about to go out there and hook it up myself cause my dad is a flippen retard about this stuff.

ground was hooked up too, sorry.

Good to know for when i am in the search for a new alt.

i dont really have any experience with HO alts but i know people run motor city reman alts. www.motorcityreman.com There also is excessive amperage, iraggi alternators, and ohio generator to look into. I believe motor city reman would be the cheapest out of the ones i listed.

are there many settings like crossovers and such?? My alpine cda-9851(last years model) has none of that and i kinda want it now. All mine has is like bbe, bass, treble, sub level, system1 and system2... not much else. I have heard that alpine's have gone down in features lately but i really like the look of them... im kinda the one button kinda guy i guess.... i hate having a million buttons on the HU.

Well, 3 rl-s's would give you a 1.334 ohm load. 4 D2 RL-p's would give you a 1ohm load. 6 D4 rl-i's would give you a 1.334 ohm load. Just some different options for ya.

You might get a funky load when getting so many drivers and the RL-s's only come in single 4ohm. What ohm does your amp put out 3000watts at?? Probably 3 of the RL-s's though. The site www.soundsplinter.com has all of the recommendations for power on their products. Whatever you get, its gonna be incredibaly loud!!

Right now... HU - Alpine CDA-9851 Front - stock Rear - stock Subs - 2 15" Kicker cvr's (2002 model) Sub Amp - Phoenix Gold X600.1 Future setup.... Front - some type of components that are like $150 (probably gonna get some late summer) and a small amp to power them Sub - 15" Sound Splinter RL-p (hope to get soon!!!) Sub Amp - PG X600.1

Kool. So does anyone use the online chat on here??

and depending on how much power that infinity puts out, you might not need to change amps. I am planning on putting 600rms on an RL-p 15 once i get money and he said that is perfect in a ported box, right in the middle of what he recommends to them.

Is the enclosure ported? It doesnt sound like it. Going ported would help out alot.

Oh, you dont know how many times i have heard that!! I like where i am now and i hope to like it here

this place seems to be similar to CAC cause its sort of a smaller board. I like that better. I read on Carstereos.org for a couple of weeks and i couldnt keep up with it... just too much going on there for me!!
