@splcube FYI, if you want to really know how to install shit, you should find out what is the optimal cubic foot box for your subs. The DVQ's by infinity's spec calls for a 1.75 cubic foot ported box. the amp box i had made to hold different amps, which were later replaced with kappa amps.
@claudius2maximus i have the same four channel and kappa 6.1 ,but the amp goes into protection after you give it some volume. any suggestions on what to check
@bfonfield1534 sorry for the late response, I've been working long days after the storm we had last week on the east coast. Anyway, what have you check so far, when does it happen, if it's going right into protect as soon as you turn it on make sure your wiring is properly connect. check the fuses and make sure with a VOM that your remote and rca's aren't pushing out extra voltage.
@bfonfield1534 my buddy has an issue where his kenwood is dumping to much voltage through the rca's causing a hum and crackling. is the amp brand new was it working prior? it's possible to get a defective from factory, i had one a long time ago with the ref 611a mono block amp, right out of the box went into protect, called infinity and they took care of it.
@bfonfield1534 the phone number to contact them at is 516.682.6438, speak to the out sourced rep and explain to them that you were told to be forwarded to a level 2. they will ask you a few questions like, name, #, product, etc ... and you'll be transferred to someone who actually knows what the product looks like and sorry to say it like this but speaks English. post back if you need anything else, also my email is The1Maximus@gmail.com
@bfonfield1534 hey guys...i have a ACURA GSR...and i will be getting
INFINITY REF6030CS 6.5" 270W Car Component Speakers (2ohm) front
Infinity 629I 225W (Peak) Two-Way (4ohm) rear
can i run this set up in my acura integra gsr.....what would be the cons and pros...i dont know about running (2ohm) front...(4ohm) rear...powered by deck for now...and later a amp....
Also... how thick are the fans? I don't want them to fit right. Most that I am finding are an inch thick. But, your using 3/4 in MDF and it looks flush. How is that? thanks
@InfinityZane The fans are indeed 1 in. What I did was when I cut the hole for them I made sure the fan slide in exact. When I carpeted it, I carpeted over the hole and then cut the opening folded the cuts in to make the hole seamless. Then took the fan and pushed it in. The extra carpet keeps it in place and leave a tiny bit stick out inside of the box. I used that extra space to tuck in the speed controller for the fan.
@InfinityZane I used a relay in the rear if you look at the vid again when I pan over to the amp on the right I point it out. What I did was used the remote wire as the trigger for the relay and grabbed power and ground from the distribution blocks I had by my cap from the 4 gauge feeds. The output from the relay then fed the remote for both amps and the 4 fans.
@InfinityZane To wire in the fans is pretty simple. Most pc fans come with a 3 pin to molex adapter. On the adapter there should be a black and red for power and a white for the pc temp controller which your can cut off. On the adapter you'll want to cut the big molex plug off and just wire it up like anything else, red +12v power and black to ground. I used the antec fans because of the separate speed controller on it.
@InfinityZane just so you know, I'm actually selling the amp rack with the fans. I took all of my equipment out of it so you'll only be getting the amp rack carpeted with the fans. Nothing else.
If you or anyone is interested feel free to email me or send me a message. My email is
@belexxes 76 ampere is the max current consumption as mentioned in the Kappa One Service Manual, "Yes the Service Manual"...Still I'm wondering why the fuses are that high !
@Zackrdill, if I would have paid someone to do this and paid full price for everything well over 6K. Because I do it all myself and I get a nice hook up, Maybe $1,500.
@MtnXfreeride they get hot enough to the touch but never had them overheat. the pc fans I have in the box bring and take out enough air to keep it running
@sl1ck213 thank you very much, ive been working on trying to get a video up with some audio but the clips never sound as good on the pc as they do in person so im trying to get the best recording i possibly can. as soon as i get one i'll post it
Hey, awesome set up. I know this video is fairly old but I have a quick question. Do you have or had any problems with the Alpine KCA-SC100 losing signal, thus resulting in you having to buy a new one?
@Nickgenovese08 i'm not really sure what you mean by lose signal but once in a while it either won't turn off or it won't turn on.
I resolved both of these in a very simple manner. when it won't turn off pull the radio fuse. when it won't turn on turn the car back off and wait a few seconds and try again
I don't use fm radio so I can't comment on that my Sirius had worked flawlessly since day 1 and up to about 3 weeks ago everything was working well with my iPod, but now the plastic on the connector of the 6in USB dongle that comes with the deck, broke and now the wires have to be held in a certain position to work properly.
Nice job, really impressive, I love the brand and amp storage but door speakers were a let down. saw your head unit and ipod hook up AWESOME !!!. Cool idea to have space under amp rack. WOW @ all the wires.
I've heard them on a Rockford amp, and alpine and an infinity.
I really didn't notice a big difference but the thing that got me the most is that. to hear the music loud I had to crank up the Rockford almost all the way up. sounded good but your over working the amp by running it full throttle. the alpine was at about a half and the infinity was at about a quarter.
now with the infinity amp this bothered me a little. when I would blast the radio it always sound clear. I knew not to go past a certain point to aleviate any clipping but it was high enough that I was on the edge. by doing that and blasting it for 4 months I melted one of the copper coils in all of my crossovesr.
I called infinity right away and luckily they had 2 new pairs at my door step within days. when I got them in I went through all the settings with a level 2 tech and he reassured me I had everything setup properly it was probably a bad box from the stock. I haven't had any issues since. just remember the sound quality will be only as good as your wiring. amps are vital to for the quality a swell, but if your using crap wires a good amp will sound like crap
@Unbox2Review in my opinion, Alpine PDX 4.100 or 4.150 or Infinity Kappa Four (what this guy has) I purchased the 6.1s today, and I'm going to be using the pdx-4.100.. basically infinity recommends a two channel with at least 35 watts rms.. in my opinion, any four channel (or two if you want to run four speakers on separate amps) with at LEAST 100 rms (CEA rated of course) and not a junk brand
@ej6060 you can use a thumb drive on any radio with usb input... I like my alpine 9886 since it has a usb AND an ipod jack... so I used a 8gb thumb, then bought a Touch, and now I just switch the source in between the two...
I know more than you ever will. Watch my show amplified
