I have an Audiobahn A2300HCT 2400w rms amp and an A1208T sub in my car.
Today, I was riding along listening to a song at a little above my normal
listening level, and all of the sudden, my sub cut out. I turned the stereo

I have an Alpine CDA-9827, I'm running the RCA's to 2 amps in my trunk.
Problem is, the sound cuts out, it just dies..  Amps are up and
running, and the HU display looks normal.  If I'm playing a CD, the

New remote start alarm, pulse is of very short duration and will not start

I'm installing headrest monitors and a PlayStation in my Explorer. I've got
it pretty well figured out with one exception. I can't figure out how to

existing pioneer cd player and since I've recently learned of RDS I was
