[ QUOTE ] Hi Adam, Good to hear the Sub upgrade is going well! Just wanted to ask you a quick question about your infinity Kappas. How easy was it to install them in your A3? Do you have the model 8P A3? How good do they sound? Do they handle high volumes well? Did you need a speaker adapter...

[ QUOTE ] Any idea if it has the same connectors as the Concert / Symphony HUs ? Cheers! Adam [/ QUOTE ] Answered my own question. Connectors are the same shape, pinout is different. Thought id add it in case anyone wants to know in the future A

Any idea if it has the same connectors as the Concert / Symphony HUs ? Cheers! Adam

[ QUOTE ] In my experience running RCA's down the other side of the car (from power) has never cured an interference problem, it may improve the problem very slightly but is only masking the real cause of the problem. Good RCA's should not need to be decoupled from the power cable. Running them...

[ QUOTE ] If it works, break it, then spend a lot of money trying to fix it until you wish you'd left well alone. A rule I live my life by ensuring I'm always busy and skint [/ QUOTE ] I hear you there ... planning on taking my car apart properly in the next couple of weeks so I can tidy and...

[ QUOTE ] Those specs are spot on, the F405 is: 60w x 4 (4 ohm) 180w x 2 bridged (4 ohm) all RMS @ 14v but the birth certificate with the amp is showing 30% more power (as is normally the case with Alpine). [/ QUOTE ] Cool...will keep the RF then. Cheers, Adam

[ QUOTE ] Hi Adam It's the MRV-F405, but I don't have an infinite supply (only have one at the moment). They're quite hard to find, as most people are selling F300 series (4x30w) which aren't powerful enough). I just keep a look out on ebay, see one that's either described badly or ends at a...

1 more thing ... the 9835 has a very trick time delay feature built in which is great if you do plan to run 4 speakers, and even works very well with 2. You measure the distance from each speaker to your listening position then you input the values into the Alpine IPersonalize website and you...

[ QUOTE ] cheers for the advice. so you reckon only two speakers in the front will be ok? how much is the andymac install? I presume i can use the amp included within this to power the speakers. how difficult is it to remove the exisiting speakers? sorry for all the questions. another a3...

CDRWs never worked in my Symphony when I had it in the car ... tried a few different brands. A

[ QUOTE ] Thanks for your help guys. To be honest if I'd knew all this before replacing the concert head unit I wouldn't have bothered, as I was quite impressed with the BOSE sound quality. OK, so if I'm going to ditch the BOSE system completely, firstly what do I need i order for the system...

What Andy said ..the 9835 is far too good a HU to be wasted on naff bose speakers and sub. I run the 9835 with Infinity comps, RF 500X 4 channel amp and an Andymac sub - sounds amazing! If they haven't run RCAs from the alpine specific to the sub you will find it impossible to control the...

Well I finally got everything installed.... Autoleads FP1800 facia adapter fits a treat and looks OEM - think it's listed as being for a Seat Leon ?! Cheers all! Adam

I run a US spec Alpine 9835 in my car, the only differences are: 1) Tuner doesn't support RDS/EON so you wont get station names or traffic info interrupts 2) They dont ship with an ISO loom, separate wires 1 isn't an issue for me, hardly ever listen to the radio. You will need to change the...

[ QUOTE ] simfin said: I have the same problem on my Golf mk5 install. I think the issue with using the cigarette lighter as a light source is that, as you dim the dash lights, using the dimmer,then this also dimms light on the 'lighter' - this will take it below 12volt, at which some point the...

[ QUOTE ] ascaudio said: radio adaptors i have loads of matey gimmie ya address and ill post ya one if ya like [/ QUOTE ] Ah nuts, bought one now. But thanks for the generous offer! Cheers, Adam

[ QUOTE ] AndyMac said: I spent a long time just trying to find the "Bass" control on a guys 9812rr, only to find they'd replaced it with about 25 different controls, that's progress! Glad I've still got my trusty old Alpine with simple Bass Treble & Sub. [/ QUOTE ] Know what you...

[ QUOTE ] AndyMac said: Hi Adam There was a post on here a while back somewhere stating that Audi would no longer provide codes FOC and that it did take 20 mins to type it all in to their magic system to retrieve the code. Anyway I thought you had the Alpine installed now? [/ QUOTE ] I...

Anyone else had to get one from Audi before? The Radio code card that came with the car was never completed by the dealer that originally sold the car (despite that dealer just telling me that was impossible and they'd have to see it). On the back of the card it clearly states that if lost...

[ QUOTE ] AndyMac said: The dimmer feed should be the wire going to the pin denoted as a circle with little legs coming off it (like a sun), next to the ground pin IIRC. Caraudiodirect have the antenna amps antenna amp [/ QUOTE ] Thanks Andy, that was the pin I tested. Red/white iirc -...
