Finished Alpine Setup (PICS)

sikafella · 02-08-2007, 08:38 PM

i got the vhub setup with a 12 inch type x sub and 1000 watt pdx amp

and im having a little problem with the fuses on my amp blowing because the voltage is dropping below 12 volts and the guy at alpine recommended gettin a new alternator so can someone tell me where to get one and how much it will be? thanks guys, my first setup i hope u all like it

Why is the sub off-centered

Joking, looks good noob

JimmyDick · 02-09-2007, 12:24 AM

i think it looks great off center...i like it

rcurley55 · 02-09-2007, 12:28 AM

more screen shots of the vpa os please!!!

hoppa79 · 02-09-2007, 12:43 AM

nice setup...i've been thinking about going the alpine route.

would it be possible to mount the hub and nav unit behind the carpet where the oem cd changer and oem nav unit belong? i guess the hub would have to be mounted on its side...any danger to that?

rcurley55 · 02-09-2007, 12:44 AM

the hub would be tight, the nav would fit

the hub can be mounted in any direction you want

how do u like the type x? is it loooooud? sound good?

oh and id say an alternator is gonna run you about 500

sikafella · 02-09-2007, 09:30 AM

thanks guys, the type x is really nice but its just the amp thats been giving me problems, im probably not going to get a new alternator but just charge my cap maybe or get a new battery, the car is an 04 with a stock battery so i might change that

I run a D61001.1 and put close to 1kwatt to my sub and i dont blow any fuses or have any flickering.

sikafella · 02-09-2007, 10:58 PM

well my amp is the alpine pdx amp which is supposedly supposed to be run on 14.4 volts and if its bumping too hard and the power to it gets below 12 volts then the fuses will blow

Jharden4 · 03-27-2007, 08:41 PM

Hey did you make the enclosure yourself? how much would u charge to make me one like that?

Any updates on this???

jefftscott · 03-28-2007, 12:02 AM

How is the sound with that setup? I was actually looking to get that package in the next day or two. The products look clean and I here they are loud + they save me some money instead of buying JL equipment. Let me know what you think about the sound. Looks good btw. Congrats!

everything sounded great but i wanted more bass just because my friend has more than me so i was just pushing my system too hard, with my new setup ill keep everything under control though

sikafella · 03-28-2007, 08:49 PM

and they have carpet which will match my trunk this time so im psyched, im hoping to get it installed this weekend, if theyre booked its gona be done sometime next week

BreakMyWallet · 03-29-2007, 12:25 AM

sikafella · 03-29-2007, 07:42 AM

Sick setup, I like the carputer (it's a carputer right?). If not, that's still a sick setup. Make sure you have the box built and ported to the alpine type x specs so that you get the maximum output. Those babies should pound....definitely more than enough bass.
