  4. Funny smell when turned up...

    The amp has never gone into protect mode... as far as i know.

    Kinda worries me though, i have had a few quirks with the DAT amp so far...

    Can you look at a Voice coil and tell if it is burnt?

    And what should i do to prevent any further damage.....

    This is lame, lol. I know i have the amp tuned correct because i DID NOT want to blow any speakers... I guess that doesnt matter...

    Another thing to note... i have some engine noise.. (a high pitched whining) coming from the 6x9's.. it is RPM dependent... Its only during acceleration though.. cruising it goes away..

    So.. what do i do... im kinda just at a blank to what i am supposed to do now...

    infinity kappa 6x9's

    Rockford Fosgate power 6.5" components in the door..

    Powered by a DAT 4125

    I have the amp tuned correctly for each set of speakers using a multimeter..

    When i turn it up it just smells funny... kinda like an electrical smell..

    I do have my 10" infinity kappa in a sealed box.. so i dont think its that.

    One time i opened my trunk and saw a littrle bit of white smoke...

    What should i be looking for so i dont damage anything...

  7. Just Put In My Amp... Heard A Pop... Ugh

    Okay, well i finally got out there this morning..

    Removed the pioneer amp and infinity sub and capacitor..

    replaced the 4gauge wire from the dist blocks to the DAT with 8gauge wire.

    Cleaned up allot of the connections so there was no chance of wires touching..

    Still diddnt work.....

    Figured i would pull the fuses, one came out normal... i pulled the other one out, and first the plastic came off the metal..

    Then the rest of the fuse came out in 4 pieces..

    Apparently it was just a faulty fuse, but its all fixed now =]. I will put the sub back in when i get all the filters set the way i want them, will prob just make things easier.

    But once again EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!... called them at 11:30 Cali time, 2:30 my time.. David was quick to answer all my questions for me

    Thanks for everything guys!

    now my only problem is that i bought ten feet of 4gauge i have no use for.. and i need more 8 gauge.. haha.

    0g wire from battery to distribution block in the trunk (200amp fuse)

    0g wire from good ground to the trunk

    4g wire from the positive and negative dist. blocks to the DAT 4125..

    4g wire from the positive and negative dist. blocks to the capacitor, then 8g wire from the capacitor to the pioneer amp..

    16g wire from the DAT to the front speakers and the rear speakers

    12g wire from the pioneer amp to the infinity sub

    And i have the remote wire coming from the Alpine 9886, and it splits off into each amp.

    For all i know something is crossed or disconnected.. i tried to avoid it.. but $%^t happens..

    But yeah.. that basically sums it up, haha

  13. Help Me Pick A 4 Channel Amp

    Im glad to say i got a DAT 4125 on the way.. ordered it like yesterday.

    Im excited, and im kinda nervous at the same time... lol.

    All i know is my gains will be down as low as possible, and i will not be using the "loud" function on the headunit..

    Any other pointers from the guys at DAT?

    I dont feel like blowing any speakers right away... lol

  17. Help Me Pick A 4 Channel Amp

    in Amplifiers

    Posted

    Okay so i got all my stuff installed in my car.

    Headunit is an alpine CDA-9886

    Rear 6x9's are the Infinity Kappa 693.9i

    They are dual 2 OHM with a max of 110w RMS

    The front doors i have a set of Rockford Fosgate T162S

    They are 4ohm with a 100w RMS max..

    I need a 4 channel amp that will power them both.

    Please give me some suggestions.

    I was thinking this one..

    http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...ence+475a.html

    But then i would be overpowering the Infinities, and not taking full advantage of the Rockfords

    Using either sonicelectronix.com or onlinecarstereo.com

    Thanks for the help guys!

  20. Quick Wiring Question

    Posted · Edited by JZeFF

    Well i purchased a Alpine CDA-9886 Headunit, and i also purchased a set of Infinity 693.9i 6x9's for the back of my car..

    HU link:

    http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=18771

    6x9 link:

    http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/Pr...ProductID=19664

    The speakers are Dual 2 ohm.. how would i wire them to this headunit? (im assuming the headunit puts out 4ohm signals?)

    In a series.. or what? Im confused... lol

    Does each speaker have two positive and negative hookups? Is it like a Dual Voice Coil Sub?

    For the front doors i ordered a set of Rockford Fosgate T162S Component Speakers

    http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/.....&RowIndex=2

    I will be running those off the deck for now too...

    So yeah.... im confused.

    Is it just a plug and play kinda thing, or do i need to switch wires around?

    I will be getting an amp in about a month to power everything properly, but for now i need to know how to hook it up via the headunit. I would hate to damage, or even blow, something because i wired it wrong..

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  22. System Planning, Look Good To You?

    Posted · Edited by JZeFF

    So i just bought myself a beautiful 2002 Olds Aurora

    Pics here = 02 Aurora

    I already bought an Alpine CDA-9886

    I ordered a set of Infinity Kappa 693.9i

    Plan on getting a pair of these beasts soon Rockford Fosgate T162S

    What amplifier should i get to power them all???

    And does it look like a decent set up to you guys?

    Keep in mind im just a kid who is not exactly loaded, haha.

    Eventually i plan on getting either one 15" sub, or two 12's, and a seperate amp to power them..

    But for not im just focusing on everything except the sub/subs.

    Any input would be great =]
