MB Quart Reference 5.5" componants in the front, Alpine 6.5" coax in the rear, Rockford Fosgate Power P3 500W RMS Sub, 600W RMS Monoblock Rockford Fosgate POWER Amp for the sub and a 4x200W RMS Rockford Fosgate POWER Amp for the front and rear. (I have some piccies of the install).
Oh and an Alpin CDA9835R Head unit.
All well and good, amps hidden in the rear quarters etc etc.
Just wanted to give a big cheers to AndyMAC for his input!!
I do have a question though. On the way home from the Car Stereo shop, I yanked the old concert out and plugged the Alpine in just to see it turned on (couldn't wait to get home) I was really impressed with how quickly it found radio stations and how good the quality of the reception was.
Anyway rambling now, the point of this question is I can't get any signal on the radio :-( - in fact when I plug the car antenna in the radio goes quiet. If i stick a screwdriver in the headunit antenna plug I get great reception - as soon as i touch the middle pin of the car antenna onto the screw driver it kills the reception.
I am confused to say the least any ideas? The blue wire for powering an antenna isn't wired in my Audi loom so I assume it doesn't need power?
Also there is a little, what looks like mobile phone antenna wire, wrapped with the main antenna - whats that for?
