Which Amp?

can anyone help?

I'm not in here as often as I used to be since I stay pretty busy, so you'll have to forgive me for not reading the thread in it's entirety.  Let me see if I can help.  Is the Lightning Audio link to wiring consistent with your setup?  You have two (4 ohm) DVC subs?  If so, that is the correct wiring.  Yes, on the individual woofers it's dot to no dot.  Let us know if you have more questions.My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

definitely do to no dot.Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

I'm sorry.. what dots are ya'll talking about? ecklipz: Okay. Not really. Running your rear speakers off of your deck is a kinda haphazard way to do things. The problem you run into isn't so much the power coming off of the deck as where along the volume knob it being delivered in relation to volume increase off of your RCA's. Sometimes it works out real well... sometimes not so much. I always advise against it. With judicious use of your fader and careful gain setting, you should be able to get that to work... but to get your front speakers to be playing most of the music and keep imaging and what-not up front, frequently over-gaining the front speakers is required, which produces, amoung other underdiserables, alternator whine and such."I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview

thanks for the feedback. does anyone know a link to where it shows me how to hook up 2 amps?

And what kind of cable size to use for the little amp, etc.And about the alpine decks, which would be my best bet to go with? The money isn't an issue, I just want the best for better sound (if any of those models matter) and i want to stick with alpine cause i love the alpine decks from what i've used and seen.And another question about the wiring setup picture, (my first time wiring 4ohm subs to a mono amp. The amp I got now a friend did). For example, would I be the taking the one wire (split it at the end to connect both negatives coils on the subs) and run the wire still connected together at the other end on the amp negative place? So there'll be 2 wires going into the same negative clamp on the amp? And same for the positive.....Or am I way off?Thanks again

anyone?

About the Alpine decks: They suck. They are the most unintuitively designed HU's I've ever used. I spent $350 for my deck (AlpineCDA9833) a year ago and the thing is so packed full of useless features that are impossible to access it is disgusting. Lemmie give you an example. Lets say you want to adjust the treble up or down a notch. For whatever reason. Not on this stupid thing. You have to OPEN A NEW EQ FILE, CREATE THE EQ CURVE YOU WANT, SAVE THE NEW EQ CURVE, SELECT THE EQ CURVE, AND THEN LOAD IT INTO MEMORY. Instead of say... tapping the rotary knob, until "treble" comes up and then a quick notch up or down. It is so retarded. I mean, I've had the thing for a year and I can't change the treble setting in the time it takes to sit through a 4-way stoplight during rush hour.    You can change gains and xovers on my amps that ARE IN MY TRUNK faster. The list goes on and on and on. You can change the subwoofer volume from the rotary knob menus, but you can't turn it off. That function is BURIED in menus even harder to access than the EQ. EVERY function requires you to HOLD some button for 5 seconds, then double tap to verify..   ARGG. Seriously, if you think you want to be stuck with one of those pieces of crap, please, please at least stop by a shop somewhere and see about changing the treble. See if the sales guy can do it in the time it takes an installer to do an alarm eh? The cheapo "///Alpine" sticker in the upper right hand corner is even peeling off!"I'm finished!" - Daniel Plainview
