Alpine 9833 problem
|
New member Username: BoazIsrael Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-04 | I own the Alpine 9833. I have a problem that it turns off sometimes on high volume (22 and up, especially when there is high bass). I've checked the fan on the back and I can see it doesn't work. Should it work all the time? Any ideas? Thanks, |

Otherwise, he said that at high volumes the deck will cut in and out and will look like crap :P Good luck! Bryan |

Do you mean a regular installation uses a different power line? Do you have an installation guide on how to do that? How do I wire a 10ga line to the battery? |

I just spliced it under my driver's side carpet, and then ran a wire from the to the deck. It seem easier that way than having to go through the firewall again. This is probably against installation etiquette, but oh well  Regards, Bryan |

I used a similar trick in my jeep for the Alpine since I already had power line run for the amp. |
