Help!!! No tape deck in car -- need adapter!?
[Question]
I have a Panasonic DVD player which came with a car adapter so I can listen to the movie from the speakers of the car -- one side looks just like a cassette tape and the other is like the end of headphones.



My new car has no tape deck. Without installing one, is it possible to get some sort of adapter where one side is like the end of headphones and the other side like the thing you plug into the cigarette lighter socket?



Help! On the road, we can barely hear the DVD player without plugging it in. Thanks!!! =D

Get a 2 sided headphone jack, and put one end in the dvd player, and one in the car's headphone slot. they usually cost anywhere from $10-$20, depending on length.

Caps will help improve sound quality and the life of your sub. If your lights dim slightly when you hit bass notes (with your volume at wherever you listen to it at regularaly) then you Definatly need a cap. If they don't, then you don't NEED it, but i still recomend them.



They allow your amp to get the power it needs quickly. Car batteries don't. So when you require alot of power in a short period the cap will give it, but the car battery makes your amp work harder for it.



If you get one make sure you follow proper install instructions, otherwise you can seriously damage your system.

The New Solo Classic Subwoofers.?
[Question]
I saw these subs on the Kicker website. Does anyone have a opinion on how they might be? They're between the L5's and CVX's.

JL Audio subs are the way to go and I have owned JL Audio subs forever. The 10" ones are the ones I use. They sound amazing and hit really hard. Just they way they should!



I wouldn't use anything else.

looking for a new audio system?
[Question]

i would like to stick with alpine mtx and kicker

Grab some Kicker L7s or L5's... The L7s are 750RMS a piece, or 1500 combined, while the L5's are 600RMS a piece or 1200RMS together. I'd stick with on of the Kicker ZX series amp, either the ZX1000.1 or the ZX1500.1 depending on how much your willing to spend. The L7s with the ZX1500.1 will be a lot louder than the L5 but the L5 setup will be a lot cheaper. Either way it will still be really loud. Both sets of subs are square series too, so it will look cool.

viper alarm 350HV dome light issue?
[Question]
I do installing for a living and i am stumped on what to do about this. I put a viper 350hv in my 2002 dodge intrepid. my car never came with key less entry. mind you that car had power locks already. if i manually lock the door with the switch on the inside of the car and shut the door my dome light will dim and go out but if i just shut the door and lock it with the vipers fob the it will lock and chip twice meaning it is overriding the dome light because it wont dim. there are two ways i can think of to fix it. one is to set the setting on the viper to auto arm 30 seconds after the last door is shut or fix the dome light problem. please help!

I can think of a couple options.



First of all, instead of connecting your door trigger wire to the dome light, you can connect it directly to the door switch wires. They should report only when the door is open, so the alarm won't detect the dome light delay. My listing shows a tan wire for the driver's door, and tan/red for the passenger doors; you'd have to use diodes if you want to connect both to the negative door trigger wire.



If you close the driver's door, and lock it with the key in the door lock cylinder, does it automatically lock the other doors too? If so, you can find the wire from the door lock cylinder and connect your alarm's door lock output there. The wire should be light green with an orange stripe, somewhere in the driver's kick panel area. (It's a multiplex-resistor system, so if you install the right resistors, you can use the same wire to unlock). The advantage to doing this is that locking the door this way should also turn off the dome light immediately. Not all Intrepids have this feature, however.



Otherwise, you can just turn off the open zone chirp in the Viper programming menu. The alarm will sense when the dome light shuts off and start covering the door zone at that point.

what is the biggest amp i can put on my install on my subs?
[Question]
my subs say 1200 watts and i got an 800 watt amp but i wanna know if i can go bigger like a 1000 or 1200 watt amp for my subs

greg v @ 2009-01-27 02:47:55

[All Answers]
just because your subs say 1200 watts does not mean they can handle that, you needs to look at RMS watts not maximum



you need to have your amp put out NO MORE than the RMS watts listed



what kind of subs are they? i can tell you the rms of them

Stop turning your head, look straight ahead.

Buy new earphones, usually it's the end of the chord that connects into the radio that's messed up.
