Sound Storm F-2800 Amp

I am considering the purchase of the F-2800 amp for my work car which is all factory speakers except the Alpine head unit and I just can't justify spending too much money on it for the use. So I just want to add some low end to the system but also give myself the room for some upgrades for the mid and high ends if I choose to in the future. I'm uncertain about the lower end brands and am very open to some suggestions for other amps around or under the $300.00 mark for the amp itself. As of right now I have picked out two Audiobahn AW1251T 12" subs in a bandpass box, but I?m open for any suggestions there too (Something around the $250.00 mark for the pair). Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!!

You can you own sound but you have to eliminate the rare channels and use them for your self to conect the Subs and other stuff. Take care for the Power rating and just let the music play!!! Patrick

No sound from amp when amp is powered up, whats wrong? Alpine m-1000 wih alpine deck. Was told something about resetting it but don't know, please help?

There is a number of things that can cause no sound from the amp.

Check to make sure your RCA's are plugged in to the amp.
Make sure the ground and remote are not touching on the amp.
This will cause your head unit to gray out in some areas.
Verify, your subwoofers are in working order.
Test another pair of speakers on your amp to make sure.
If those speakers work, your subwoofers are fried or have come unhooked inside your subwoofer enclosure.
Make sure you have not set the head unit to Surround Sound if you have a DVD player in your vehicle.
This should be set as passive.
Make sure your gains aren't turned down on the amp.
MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T BLOW A FUSE UNDER THE HOOD.
Even if there is a light on the top of the amp, the fuse might have blown.
Make sure a fuse on the amp didn't blow. This will in some cases cause the amp to go into protect and no bass.

What kind of wire do I need to install Infinity reference series 605cs with a JL Audio 10" sub and a Alpine Flex 2 amp? Can I use my factory head unit?

You can use the factory speaker wiring for the Infinity speakers you should purchase a amp kit which will give you everything to install the amp. See site below

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18428_Raptor+ISPKBL4-BG+by+Metra.html
Well that all depends on the current audio system you have now is it just a basic or a premium factory system with a factory amp. Honestly you would get a better and cleaner sound if you change the factory head unit to a after market one which has preamp feeds and the higher the preout volt the better. Just make sure it is compatible with the amp volts input (Example 4v to 250mv) If you use the factory headunit you would have to by a high to preout adapter it connects to the exsiting radios speaker leads, but like I said before change the head unit you won't be sorry. Do not forget if you change the radio you need a radio install kit and the wiring harrness which converts the two radio plugs so you don't cut them so down the road you can remove the after market radio and just replug the factory right back in.

Hi, I've just install an alpine power amp with JL 10inch subwoofer, everything seems to be working properly except for the subwoofer

If you have the RCA's running from the head unit to the amp, and the speaker wires running to the speakers then you have it hooked up right. Now If you still don't have any sound then you need to look at the amp to make sure that you have a green light. Still I would use 8 or 10 gauge power wire and then the same for the ground wire, make sure that you have a good ground.

2010 Toyota Camry LE Aux/CD not working When I first got the car, hitting the Aux/cd button did absolutely nothing. Used some contact cleaner to see if possibly the button had debris or was sticking but it did nothing. I inserted a cd and it spit it back out after trying to read it and will no longer accept any cd. Weird thing is now when I hit the button, it will go to CD and will constantly try to read a cd that isn't there. Though it will never show AUX when I hit the button. Tried playing through the aux cord but don't believe it will work unless I can actually get it into Aux mode via using the button. Is this something fixable or is replacing the radio the way to go?
