Hi, I've just got an Alpine IDA-X200 headunit, along with an amp and a sub for the boot. I wondered if the headunit will cause any problems as I recall somewhere saying something about K-Line problems with certain headunits?
Also, where can I run the power cable for the amp through? Where do I hide the wires in the car?
Finally, is it safe to remove my old Chorus tape unit and Audi subwoofer in the boot? Is there a way to make sure my radio isn't locked by a code if I disconnect the battery before I install my amp?
I've never installed any amps or subs in a car, just a new headunit so I don't want to damage the electrical system in my car at all. Am I right in connecting the amps +ve terminal to the +ve on the battery, and then the ground terminal to the body of the car somewhere?
Thanks very much
