Ok well I got the subs going now, but you can't even hear them unless the fader is almost all the way to the rear and the volume is full blast, and then it still isn't imppresive. For two type r's with 600 watts to them I was expecting more. I have all my sub settings cranked. Will it get better once the subs are broken in?

 

Is it possible something is still messed up and thats why it isnt performing well?

 

something else is wrong, any pair of 12" subs with even deck power will make a fair amount of bass. Check to see if the sub's have the same polarity(+,-), if they are reversed on one of the subs the output will be very low. Otherwise, take it to a shop and have them check it out.

 

Problem solved. I played around with my settins on the amp and alls good now. What can I use thought to stop my cd player from skipping?

 

Don't the BP series of amps need two pairs of RCA's into the amp, to get full signal?

 

I heard that from someone too, but I only have one pair and it sounds good, rattles the windows on my house, and makes my cd player skip.

 

Sweet!

 

Any of you have ideas on how to stop the cd player from skipping? It is pissing me off. It is an Alpine CDA 7897, I wasnt really expecting it to skip.

 

cd skipping is almost always due to poor install. Make sure you have the deck supported on the back with a strap and that the dash is tight(tighten all the screws). You can also try adding some insulation around the deck and to the dash area (being careful to allow enough room for the deck to breathe) in order to reduce vibrations getting to the deck.

 

Ya just get a ipod or other MP3 and hook it up to the AUX input if you have one if not FM Modulator and then never worry about another skiped cd [img]smile.gif[/img]
