novice needing advice on amp install please

[da_bull]

they should be ok, I like the twisted design, that helps to shield out any noise that might jump in the cable as its running down the car. before you use the silver wire for a remote, you may want to try using it as a reference ground (one end at the chassis of the radio, and one at the amp's ground), if you still have noise.

well i have two remotes (one in each rca pair) so one can be the remote the other a new ground
in your eperience running down the centre of the car under the carpet or along the sill is better?

[da_bull]

Just away from the power cables and maybe away from any factory lines if possible.

[320de46m47]

could the fact that the crossover box is tucked behind a one inch thick red power cable have something to do with the noise from the rear right hand side speaker even when the radio is switched off?

all being re-routed tomorrow

^ might do that dabull will have to correct me if im wrong....
i know the if you run a power wire close to a signalwire or signal souce if can cause noise... is the radio all the way off? or just the volume?

[320de46m47]

just noticed that the remote cable interwoven into the new rcas is coaxial..a single very thin wire surrounded by silver.. ?? do i use only the inner one? radios completely off so i assume the electronics in the crossover are broadcating something through the speaker courtesy of the closeness of the main power cable?? anyway all change today

[320de46m47]

half way there...all the wires are under the carpet
also doing bluetooth instal at the same time
what a mess!
noticed carpets wet underneath in rear ...??
also bought the alpine apf s101 bm steering wheel controls inteface
doesnt work
obviously i disconnected the oem speaker plug at the radio which might be the reason
any way round this?

[320de46m47]

[320de46m47]

the plug (8 wires) in the back of the HU for the speakers needs to remain disconnected as the HU no longer runs the speakers

[320de46m47]

one of the plugs is out therefore

[da_bull]

I think your dash kinda threw up

[320de46m47]

yes it does kinda!
any ideas on why the coaxial cable and how to get the steering interface working when the speakers are unplugged from it?

[320de46m47]

well it's finished and working great!! NO NOISE!!!
Thanks!!
Bluetooth loom has gone in too
Waiting on the module (12th gen)
new position for the offending crossover ( i think)

new vent went in as old one rattled

i must admit not happy with this ...im looking at some kind of pod

subwoofer control to the right

left side tweeter

all in one sub/amp...actually i find the thump thump a bit intrusive and i have it turned low ...may get rid of it later when the novelty wears off as it's just taking up trunk space

right side tweeter and morel visible inside oem speaker panel

finished

may come back later LOLOL
oh still curious to know why coax cable for remote and how to get steering interface working btw

[320de46m47]

steering interface works!! just a loose plug

[AlpineSixAndSeven]

Nice install dude Good Luck And Happy motoring! does the knob next to the stereo control the sub?
