i've had a head unit installed so far.

Alpine ida - X305

i've got an Alpine 10" type R sub in a box that my mate is gonna give to me.

wondering what amps to get..

i was hoping to install the amps in the side compartments in the back where the factory CD stacker goes (i didnt get one tho :) )

or in one of the lift up compartments in the back. i dont want to be mounting anywhere custom as i cringe about someone hacking at my interior.

the easier, the better

so far i was thinking of getting an Alpine MRP-F300 for the speakers (not changing them as of just yet)

and an Alpine MRP-M500 for the sub :P

will give me a bit of extra bass thats tight cos thats all i'm looking for at the moment.

i'll be having the sub set up against the back seats i think.

any ideas from anyone ? :)

do i need to go that far with 2 amps? or is there an easier option for some extra bass.

i might have a go at installing it myself..... although i'm sure i may need some help :)

better change the speakers, especialy if you have the factory ones, they wont handle the extra power of a power amp.

any help you need just ask mate, im in preston and work in port melb, just let me know :P

thanks man :P i'm only going to be running the factory speakers until i can afford some alpines or something.

so u say for the moment just get the mono amp and run the sub? and get the other amp when i get the new speakers?

Why not get a 5channel? Jaycar sell digital 5 channel amps that will run your whole system and can easily fit under either of the front seats (Good for keeping thieves away)

I have one of their digital 4 channels under my seat running my front MB Quart 6.5in splits and my cadence sub and it does a mighty fine job

thats a great idea too, means 1 amp and everythings done... less wiring to worry about, no power distros and the like.

My set up in the stag is rather big, 2x Alpine MRD-M300 mono amps running the 2 Type S 12" subs, 1 x Alpine MRV-F540 4 Ch running the front splits (Active, 75W into each woofer and tweeter) :P:ermm:.. Fronts are Focal polyglass 165's

upgrades are a few more amps, 1 for the 8" Mids that are going in the doors and 2 for the 5" Subs that will be going in the front foot wells ;):(

sounds like a good idea.. i'm having a look at the new range.. the Alpine PDX-5 is a 5 channel but the output for the sub is only 2 ohms?? huh? i thought 4 ohms was standard for car audio?

the Alpine MRV-F450 V12 also sounds like a good option. its 5 channel 4ohm.

its discontinued but i may be able to pick one up second hand!.. i presume though that the newer amps would be "better" though in most aspects??

i also had an opinion to just get a 4 channel amp. bridge 2 for the sub output and go for high quality splits in the front. since my rear door ones are probably no point having since i barely have rear passengers!

home audio is so much easier :)

amp: Yamaha receiver.

fronts: Aaron Ats-4

Centre: Aaron CC-120

rears: Aaron Ats-3

samsung series 6.. 46" HD LCD TV

seeeeeeeee :P

i'll prob pop into Stylyn on a weekend when i get some free time see what they think :spam:

subs are either Alpine subs now are either Dual 4 ohm or Dual 2 ohm, the dual 2's are good if you have got the amps to run an either 2 or 1 ohm loads, the dual 4's are nicer for normal guys that arent into SPL. i think ill be running 4x dual 2ohm. in a series parallel system... big bass :P

also try Garry's car radio Heidleberg, and GL Pro sound in essendon for price comparrasons.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
