jbiddle.com Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) so hi guys i just got an alpine CDA-9887 head unit and just first off i have to say its awesome.. but its kinda odd to use for a beginner. i have been into audio for a while now and have the basics of wiring and building enclosures but the tuning of amps and head units is still a little beyond me. for a sub amp i have a kicker kx 2500.1, i don't have subs yet. and also i am wanting do to an active set up and i heard this is the perfect head unit for doing that. i also have two older alpine MRV-f545 4 channel amps. so my question to all of you is what would be the best mids and his to run to keep up with the kicker 2500 where is the best placement for these speakers. and how do i tune my digital amp and head unit to accommodate this active set up. well thank you for all your time i appreciate any help that is given. by the way i forgot to mention that i will be running two 15s on the 2500 just not sure which ones yet i was thinking fosgate power HX2' or some power T2's but i'm open to suggestions and also its a 2000 Cadillac escalade Edited July 9, 2012 by jbiddle.com Quote Head Unit -- Alpine CDA-9887 Mids and highs -- 2 Crescendo PWX-8's 4 Crescendo PWX-6's 4 Crescendo FT-1 Super tweeters Mids and Highs amps -- 2 Alpine V12 MRV-F545 Subs -- TBD Sub amp -- Crescendo Bass Cleff BC2000.

siucsaluki11 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Restructure your question, i can't make sense of what you're asking really....part of it needs to be in mids/highs (which speakers will keep up). Are you trying to figure out how to run active off your HU or what? Quote woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked You might be a Redneck if you use your leftover gutters for a speaker box port... YOU JUST LOST THE GAMER.I.P.

This works for till i get the blown amp fixed] Alpine 4ch salvaged from blazer (currently near death)9887 peerless 7s in the doors and CDT tweeters ran active no speakers in the rearKintik HC1400 under the hood.metered once a while ago, dont remember it...was piss poor compared to the blazer, mid 130s i think....looking to replace subs and amp when i have money.
