Well i got the alpine type-r 12"

Alpine m500 amp

With 15 feet of speaker wire

And another 15 feet of spekear wire (thinner stuff)

And The amp wiring kit





I just went on the live chat help on the crutchfield site and they told me exactly what i needed.
I really wonder why I didnt notice there was no battery under the hood. Keep forgetting to look at the Cobalts.
Anyone order from Techronics.com ?

Im talking to the crutchfield live chat and the girls saying that since they are not an authorized alpine dealer they arent getting theyre subs and stuff from alpine and that they could be look alikes and stuff. I just wanna know if theyre reliable and stuff
I'm that ian kid that dan was talking about! Wow I haven't been on here for AGES!!! shoot me a pm and I can definatly help you with the box.
I ordered from Techronics, good prices, but the shipping sucks ass. 4 weeks to get my frt components and rear speakers.

I hear good things about Onlinecarstereo.Com - Wholesale Car Audio/Stereo Deals At Bargain Prices
Michowski Wrote:ponch that is a really really gay setup that guy has. Makes elton john seem straight. Most of these people are funny thinking 18" subs and the entire trunk full of box and electronics is gonna make them the shit or something. I could take a single 10" sub and outdue that guy if I really wanted to lol. Probly sounds like shit because I rarely ever hear a nice tuned system. like 99% of people just put subs in a box and go. Never take the time to adjust or even attempt to tune it.

Id hate to bust ur balls but you ARE NOT going to outslam any sized MT/BTL very easily. . . .

Damn that sucks. Im hoping though that the stuff is authentic. The chick said they might not be because theyre not authorized or wutever.

people say lots of crazy S**T to sell their product! aslong as the basket color looks like it matches all the others u've seen online your gona be fine 99.99% of the time another thing to look for is just sloppy assembly it'll be very obvious
i guess so lol
Is there any way to tell him for sure like a vin # or something?
Telling someone about your Car? VIN is Vehicle Identification Number. Alpha Numeric Code telling everything about the car basically. First 8 are like, Chassis, Engine, last 8 are like, which plant it was build, and what number car it was to roll off the line.

Hell yeah thats whats up.


Question:

When I play rap music, my shit is loud as hell and vibrates all my mirrors out of place and stuff, but when I play metal, the subs cut out after not even 1 song and the amp is hot as hell. Is it cause of the rapid bass? Do I just need to get a more powerful amp?

edit: www.myspace.com/thepartisanturbine <--thats the kind of stuff I can't get through one song on without the subs cutting out.
No, asshole neighbors.

I turned my system up and walked down the block- can't hear it past 1 house. If every hydrant is 200 ft apart, and there's 4 houses inbetween each, that's 50 feet (still legal) range of sound.

We've had problems with them ever since we moved in. Just don't seem to like the whole "cop" thing with my family.

I'm considerate, these were all within daylight hours, actually mid afternoon, no longer than probably 20 minutes at a time (just to tune or try a new song pretty much). If it's dark or late out, I kill the sub as soon as I get in the subdivision.

But anyway, police showed up, said there wasn't any music on when she arrived, and left, no harm no foul.

I'm just going to be calling these neighbors out during the summer now when they have their late night parties out back with loud music and spotlights going.

Don't get mad, get even *evil* My motto.

What subs/amp are you using?
Ponch Wrote:What subs/amp are you using?

2x Kicker CVR 12s w/ zx750.1 amp

I was thinkin that getting a zx1000.1 would solve the problem.
I'm guessing you're guessing that the amp is going on thermal shutdown?
Welp I looked at the specs on the subs, if you get another 750.1 it would be around what you needed for RMS.
You shouldn't even listen to your subs around your house for the fact of some kids hearing it and watching you pull up to your house to jack your shit. Don't listen to it near your house and you won't worry have to worry about your neighbors or someone stealing them.
People are sub-crazy. I dont know why you gotta be the loudest. then your music sounds like S#$!.
