The quiet Mazda 6 wants to be loud.

One of the other guys has the build pics on his phone. I will upload them once i get my hands on it

It's an Alpine 9887 headunit....i'm sure the RCA output section should be reliable.
it's not the amplifier gains....everything is set less than half.
power and signal wires are not coiled together.

I didn't get a chance to troubleshoot the system as yet.... olewhip is currently doing his own diagnosis.

Hopefully by weekend we should have most of the hiccups sorted out..

from what alyuh fellas saying there the only other thing that i could think of is the RCA and dem bad.

If that is not the prblem make sure that all the places whereu ground and ting sand down to bear metal and you change the ground wires in the car from the battery to the chassi and ting like that.

olewhip · Postby **olewhip** » October 29th, 2008, 6:19 pm

^^^^ yeah is the rca it was ontop the battery wheni move it, the noise stop. so i know i have to change them.

well, i still getting the rain noise and the engine noise and also when turning the volume knob on the deck i does hear it from the speakers
even when the vol right down, and u continue turning it counter clockwise, u does hear a click click noise.
i know the engine noise is from the rca, dont know about the rain noise.
does all alpine deck make noise when u turn the knob?

olewhip · Postby **olewhip** » November 8th, 2008, 9:29 pm

ok, the music doneeeeeeeeeeeeeee yippe.
riadb, tuned it and it sounds great.
just a lil engine noise but it was because we ran short of 1 pair of 6 ft rca (swx)
and had to use the stinger rca. i getting real noise with the stinger.
but anyways it done. thanks for all the inputs and suggestions.
dj Q the tweeters sounding real good there, and it not looking bad so i guess i will leave it there. but thanks to u the next install i going to do i'll try putting the tweeters in the space by the door speakers.
most likely i might change when the next line in crossfire come out. ( once i ha the money) :lol:

riadb · Postby **riadb** » November 9th, 2008, 9:59 am

system really sounds great. Bassline is smooth and very detailed with full response...low and loud.

Replaced all, except one of the Stinger Pro 1 wires with SWX CONNEXIONS. A branch off from Streetwires/Mitek. Once we did this all the noise stopped

Sorry we ran out of SWX wires tho :oops:

The remaining Pro1 was replaced with a Pro2 (twisted) and the noise still remained on the channels supplied with that wire

I would put my head on a block for these SWX wires as they are much better than the stinger Pro 1 & 2 wires IMHO

where did u get the swx wiring from?

price?

riadb · Postby **riadb** » November 9th, 2008, 11:28 am

redeyes24 used to bring them.. The wires we used were the last of the stock he had. They were in a plastic bag stuffed away somewhere lol..daz why we ended up running out....

I don't know of anyone who brings them again..everybody gone off on dis stinger

I have a pair of 17ft SWX cables that i'm currently using in my system

had to use the stinger for the shorter runs...they not giving me any trouble so far (knocks on wood)
