So Just Curious if anyone is running an Alpine SWR-1242D 12" Type-R With an Alpine Mrp-m500. If so what do you have your gain and bass eq set at. I just bought both brand new.

 

gain depends on the radio and bass eq should be all the way off

 

^^this, but the bass is your opinion, depends on what you want (hence your sub and amp) its easy to adjust, sit in the drivers seat crank it up and tweek with it

 

I have a clarion hundred and it has 6 volt pre outs.

 

this one?

Clarion U.S.A. | CZ100

 

This one
Clarion U.S.A. | DXZ675USB

 

Begin jack/ did u tell me the static from my stereo was part of the whole stock amp bs? /thread jack

 

if you have an oscilloscope or rta near by you can figure it out perfectly....or if you know what to listen for you can do it by ear.

clarion radios usually dont distort till max volume... thats the slide track radio and is true for that... so you can go to 32 or 33 with no problem and have it on plus 6 for sub... make sure you have dze 3, and the other potions flat

 

id try it at say 1/4 gain and see how it sounds

 

possibly... what static are u talking about

 

Well thanks. i set it a little bit higher than 1/4.
And how can you stop screws from coming out of the box? LOL. I kept hearing the noise that sounded like the sub was bottoming out or something and finally was able to turn it up and be able to see what was goin on and the front of box and top had screws coming loose. How can i fix this?

 

use bigger thread screws, or get an mdf box

 

Is an mdf box made by me 3 or 4 years ago.

 

is it bare wood atm? if the screws tight and the box is still holding up well then cover the tops with bondo or glue or something. possibly something on the bottom too

 

Yea its bare wood. I was thinking about spreading something over top of the screws or pulling the screws out and squirting some wood glue in the holes and rescrew them.

 

id say yank glue then spread something on top... might as well do them all

 

when the volume is down...

 

Yea i think i will definatly.

Quit thread jacking




























































































































HAHAHA just ******* with you.
But i have the same noise through my speakers.

 

my car is loud so its gone when the engines on

 

ya thats stock amp awesomeness for you. you can try a ground loop isolator but in general not much you can do

 

Mines gone once i plug in the phone and turn it up. HAHAHA
