Hi i have just installed an alpine stereo and it seems to be working fine, however i hear alot of static interference.(In all modes tuner/cd/ipod) i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem? also does anyone have a schematic as to what all the wires that plug into the factory head unit do? i was also wondering if i need to install a noise canceling filter and i believe the interference is coming from the alternator?

Any thoughts/ suggestions welcome.

Also all i have to do is set the volume to 5/40ish and its insanely loud. i was thinking maybe if i bypassed the factory amps this might solve my problem.

Any thoughts?

Just to let everyone know i have looked throught the forum and have not found an answer to my question. so please do not think that i have just put this post on the forum without researching.

Thank you.

hey man hows it going i have a similiar problem in my sorento when i watch movie if i where u go ahead and bypass the fact amp. have u put upgrade speakers in the car if u have try to get a new amp and bypass noise filter if needed ur shop should tell u. if u still got the factory speakers bypass and run it off the radio the should be a lot better it was in my truck and again noise filter if needed

cool, thanks. i was gonna try that sometime this week. will let you know how it goes.

ok good luck and o try to go for a pioneer next time u will love the difference i heard of a lot of problems with alpine my boy had i and everthing well almost worked in reverse bass down makes treble up tryin to get the subs to work was a pain and the funniest 1 was when he turned his head lights on the radio would shut off

I'm sure that must have been an isolated insident. It seems to be functioning fine. But thanks for the advice.

UR WELCOME HOPE EVERYTHING GOES GOOD KEEP US POSTED I SHOULD HAVE MY SYSTEM REDONE IN LIKE 2 WEEKS

hi well i solved the problem. i connected the head unit to a better ground and it really cleared up the signal.

I also fixed the volume problem by by-passing the factory amps. the rears were easy enough however the fronts were a bit of a problem as the factory has installed splits. with the crossover built in to the amp circuit so there isnt a way of by passing and keeping the crossovers. unfortunately this means that i have temporarily disconnected my tweeters. i plan to fix this by buying my own set of splits.

another thing i found is that all the factory speakers are 2 ohm, which really sux when connecting it to a 4 ohm signal. effectively the speakers still work its just not ideal.

all in all the system sound great. and will sound even better when i get a tweeter reinstated.

good to hear man sucks bout the tweets i put my tv in tho and i didnt have to do a by pass all 6 work fine wonderin y but ne ways u should upgrade the speakers tho im ganna put some pioneer premier 4 ways in the back 2 ways front and the componets my boy has em in his g35 and they sound amazing and my hook up is going to do em 4 200 bucks installed :banana: cant wait but gonna have to the tv set me back a little but ne ways glad everything is workin out man take care

sound cool. yeah its just a simple matter of changing the speakers. no big deal. im just happy i have the head unit in and working so i can have sub control, i didnt have much when i had them hooked up to the factory headunit.

fyi: i have 2 12" soundstream 350 WRMS subs connected to a soundstream mono block digital amplifier 700 WRMS at 2ohm. MEGA BASS!!!

sounds good heard alot of good things about soundstream i was going to buy there 3000 but i went with the mats 2100 i just droped off the car this morning to get the custom box rear deck speakers and subs put in and u gonna love this a bypass done when i put in the tv i got backround noise so the stockers need to go but i will post up pics tomm so u check it out hope fully i can put em on my garage but is wasnt workin what about u u got ne pics take care

Yeah ill post some soon

Here's some pics of the system.

Attached thumbnail(s)

looks nice and u got the subs backwards ? does it work good? im try to post up a vid of mines but ne ways i put up a post with system dont know if u have seen it yet? but urs is lookin tight :beer:

yeah i've got the subs backwards. I was told by the salesrep i bought the subs from, "if you want hear it face them to the front, if you want the people outside to hear it face them to the rear"

so i've always had them facing to the front. never tried to the rear. but i'm happy with the setup i've got.

well from what ive heard that not having enough rebound on the subs can damage them because there is nothing pushing the sub back in and as far as the front back thing the bass vibrating off the trunk u will hear it probaly better inside and out i got mines in a ported box and i just put the seat down not saying u should cause urs seems to be workin fine but just a suggestion o do you got a capaciter for the amp or are u running it off the battery my car is a pain i put an optima and i still got dimming lights i going to have to put a spare batt in the trunk well take care

hi there,

i originally bought the car with a factory double din unit, but as you can see i have installed a single din cd player.

below is a link of a factory unit i found on ebay if you just wanted to replace it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-02-03-Hy...216331974QQrdZ1

however if you wanted you could replace it with an after market double din but there will be wiring issues you will have to tackle if you plan on installing it your self.

try this link it takes you to the xg section of the store
