I'm using Safari on my macbook pro.

Why not just bag it?

They have been fixed, turn out to be 2 bad bulbs and a bad ballast.

thanks I called the guy today and I'm going Monday and the installer is going to have a look at them. Hopefully he could figure something out.

The relay looks like its a double relay and and the ground I sanded and removed the paint, it to the metal. Here are a few pictures it may be hard to see the ground. relay drivers ground pass ground

Hello not sure if this is the right place to post a HID question but here it goes. I have a 2005 Pontiac Montana and I got some HID Xenon 9004 for my headlight and 880 for the fogs. Installed them today and the fogs works great but having problems with my headlights. I used everything that came with the kit, relay harness installed . First the passenger side headlight would turn on and thorn off a few second later but the driver side would stay on. I Google my problem and many places said to try and switch the bulbs from driver to pass- pass to driver. I did just that and now my problem is that the driver and pass stay on but the driver side flickers and I could hear a tick coming from the front. It also tick in my front speakers. My fronts are Infinity Kappa running off a old school Earthquake PH120.2, but the tick wasn't there before I installed the HID today. Any could help me out it would be great. Thanks

Well I made up my mind and I'm keeping the alpine, from what I could find online I will be able to get more for the Alpine then the HiFonics when I'll sell it to upgrade. Thanks for all your help.

Thanks guys for all your inputs. Still haven't made up my mind yet. I'll let you guys know what I do soon.

I have the MRD and not the MRP. is this the one http://www.crutchfield.com/S-2faSU3SsJDk/p_500MRDM100/Alpine-MRD-M1000.html#overview-tab Yep that's the one I have

Thanks I did a google search and found the specs, I will be running at 2 ohms but it would be nice to be able to run at 1 ohms when I replace my subs. I can't find is they do rated rms or close to them? i have been reading and saw they do anywhere from 1200-1300 watts at 1 ohm btw that was clean wattage Thanks for that info so if it does 1200-1300 at 1 ohms I doubt it does the 1100 rms at 2 ohms I guess.

I was wondering if the hifonics brutus bxi 1606d would be a good amp to replace my Alpine MRD-M1000. a friend of mine is willing to trade amp for amp? How good are the HiFonics BXI amp, how close to the rated rms do they do?

ok so what I was able to find online is Parametric EQ is bass boost I could leave this off and just use my deck for bass boost. Right? Input level is for your pre out from your deck, I have 2 volts rca out so what should this be at? I have it at default 0db. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

setting the gains, sorry, I downloaded the manual but it doesn't explain much and the settings and what they do. Like the input gain goes from 0db to -24db but not sure on what its used for. Parametric EQ, Bass Compensation should I use them?
