    Installing satellite radio antenna...

    I have an alpine head unit and I'm thinking about buying the sirius sattelite tuner. I won't have a problem with installing the tuner itself but I am not sure how I will run the antenna. I found a few posts where people mounted the antenna on the dashboard in front of the windshield. However...

    bridging channels on my amp...

    Thanks tsunami. The speakers actually sound really good at 60hz although a few people have cautioned me about it. Does the crossover setting basically prevent sound under 60hz to come through the speakers? I've always been confused about this. If so, why would it be a danger if the frequency...

    bridging channels on my amp...

    I would like some advice about bridging my amp channels... I currently have a 75W X 4 Alpine amp and it is currently powering my front component speakers on channels 1 & 2. I don't think I'm going to get a sub and I have pretty sensitive rear speakers that provide good fill so I'm wondering...

    Question about my setup...

    Here's the deal... I have a 75W X 4 F345 Alpine amp. My original plan was to install Alpine components speakers in the front and 2 way coaxial Alpine Type R speakers in the rear and hooking up my 4 channel amp to the front and rear. I did not want to have a seperate subwoofer at all...

    Power rears? Opinions please...

    Would like to hear peoples opinion on this... If I install components in the front and 2 way coaxial speakers in the rear, is there any benefit of hooking a 4 channel (75W X 4) amp up to the rear speakers in addition to the front? I should mention I have an alpine head unit that puts out 18W...

    Mazda Car Stereo Kit...

    thanks for the feedback... Thanks for the feedback 1sty. Adding a sub is definitely something to consider in the long run. For now, should I really only have the amp power the front components? Will it sound better or worse than if I had the amp power both the front and rears? You...

    Brian, Can you post some picks of the aftermarket stereo install? Would like to do the same and am curious as to how the kit looks with the extra storage slots instead of the lcd display. Also, was it easy to mount the alpine stereo in the slot? Thanks. James
