Its fine to run new wires but D Amore and several other engineers have done real world testing. A stock 18 gauge speaker wire can handle up to 140-150 watts before any loss occurs. I like running new wires as well but with molex plugs being the norm now its really not worth it in most instances

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

That is why I have used the stock wires for a decade.

@therealjohnymexican Месяц назад

Not a problem keeping those extra wires you won’t need… like you said, if you cut em off you won’t be able to upgrade in the future. Besides…No one will see behind the dash anyway.

@BudgetBassHead Месяц назад

Very detailed install. I wish my car was that easy to work on. 😊 Thanks for sharing.

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

It is easy, and I have had the dash out more times than I can count.

@1ohmwrecker Месяц назад

I swapped my father in laws headunit in his older dodge w a simple single din and it was one of the easiest radio installs I've ever done lol. Looks great man! 👏👏👏

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

Thanks!

@Silentroller93 Месяц назад

Awesome install, I’ve had great results with alpine radios like that one.

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I'm excited to finally have a backup camera!

@josephsaucedo8691 Месяц назад

Iv also got that same old Alpine head unit I really didn't care for it at first when I got it because the blue tooth would not always link and dope out. I had to do a manual soft ware up data . After that it was great had had any problems. Iv got at least 6 other Alpina decks. It's also actually not that hard getting a extra wire harness for a Alpine deck sense there almost all the same harness. Alpine uses the same style plug on multiple units. Your local audio shop should have one or be able to get one. Iv also seen them on ebay as well. If it turns out to be one that hard to find or get you could always depin the bad wire out from the harness connector, then use a good wire that been depin from a good different harness connector . So you able make one good one . Years ago it was difficult to find wiring harness for head units and it seemed like every one that was presented with to me either was missing it or the wire were cut really short. I always saved any and all harness that I came or come a cross and would repair other people harnesses from mine it was a easy 35$ easy money once you get the hang of switching out the wires from the connectos. 💯👍✌️😉

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

The main harness seemed to be almost exactly like the one from the old radio, only difference is the fuse is on the wire instead of in the head unit.

@bobbybyrkett7751 Месяц назад

Justin nice fit and finish on the dash kit bro

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I was pleased with how it turned out.

@Ron_Masterjohn 26 дней назад

Looks like you did a real nice clean install. Video as usual excellent and best on RU-vid.

@DIYAudioGuy 24 дня назад

Thanks 👍

@dherring44 Месяц назад

Looking good 👍 Alpine ftw 🙌

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I am happy with the way everything lined up! It was a perfect fit.

@christiandshatto7765 Месяц назад

There is a 'heat' tesa tape that doesn't get gooey like the fuzzy tesa tape.Nice job👍🏻👍🏻

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

Great tip!

@BangingCamry Месяц назад

I think my alpine from 1998 sounded more full and amazing compared to my alpine 172bt. I swapped it out for a jvc 940. Jvc/Kenwood make the best radios in today's market. My opinion

@masterbeta343 Месяц назад

this is a great video. i have a 3rd gen as well but its post facelift. ive been really considering getting the alpine ilx-w670 lately.

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I think the facelift was in 2006.

@arieljones4595 Месяц назад

Hey buddy, good video as always. I found your channel recently and have been going through the content. Im probably about the same age as you and have been doing audio since the 90s. The car audio bug bit me again recently, so ive been looking at stuff for a couple of my vehicles. I have a couple of W12Gti MKII kicking around. I have a Crossfire which doesnt have much room in the back. I started debating doing two 12 sealed, one ported or two isobaric. Have you even messed with iso? I thought maybe that could make an interesting video. Doing a shootout with the same driver in all three box styles. Anyway, thanks for what you do, ill keep watching.

@melissathompson7229 Месяц назад

Oh...and make sure you update that ILX-507 or it is painful to use. Without the update, id say its borderline un-useable.

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I will! Thanks for the advice!

@user-jn4xk8we3z Месяц назад

Actually there is a Bluetooth wireless volume knob available for this head unit. Alpine RUX-H02. About $70 on Amazon buddy

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

Correct, Alpine's business model seems to focus on selling add-ons and upgrades, like a module to switch between cameras.

@robertchauvin486 Месяц назад

What wire did you connect the park brake wire to ?

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I used a parking brake bypass, there's a link to it in the video description. The bypass has three wires, one is a trigger that connects to the amp turn-on lead, a ground wire, and the third wire connects to the parking brake trigger.

@rynev3392 Месяц назад

Can you test the pre outs and internal amplifier on both of those units to see when they start clipping with an oscilloscope. I’ve always been curious to see if how old head units compare to new ones

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I can test the preamp outputs, but now that the head unit is installed testing the speaker outputs is a bit of a hassle.

@rynev3392 Месяц назад

@@DIYAudioGuy that’ll be awesome, I find it interesting to actual find clipping points and voltage on pre-outs instead of just using the 75% rule. Sometimes with that rule of thumb the head unit only puts out 1-2 volts instead of 4-5 volts that’s advertised

@lllllREDACTEDlllll Месяц назад

I have an idea for something... Do you think you could help me design an enclosure for something? Or, at least let me know if you think the idea is feasible/practical... Sorry, I don't have a lot hands on audio experience, just enough to make a mess. lol

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I offer an enclosure design service. forms.gle/ndwSE62vVeXhMkk87

Its call male disconnect connector not spade connector

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I have also seen them called "quick disconnects."

@1973Cyberscotty Месяц назад

More interested in home theaters system speaker replacements can you send me a notification on that topic I'm not interested in sound systems in cars I'm more interested in a small room stereo speaker loudspeaker placement

@DIYAudioGuy Месяц назад

I hope to build some home speakers sometime this summer.
