Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was really hoping that putting in aftermarket dash speakers with a high sensitivity rating (93db) would alleviate the clipping I get at high volume. I kind of figured it wasn't going to work. They do sound good though. But- my question is this- how is it possible for my 4 channel x 18 watt Alpine head unit to power all 6 speakers in my car? 2 dash, 2 door, 2 rear side-panel. I don't have a separate amp for the 6 speakers, just a bridged amp driving my subwoofer. Did the shop that installed my head unit (Alpine CDA-9883) do some kind of splice-job to power 2 extra speakers, resulting in not enough power to any of them, and thus the clipping?
Hi,
I have this very strange issue, so here are the symptoms.
1- No more alarm led on dash
2- Windows will not go up or down both side under any circumstance
3- Two horn when arming
4- Windows will go down when opening doors
5- All the buttons on the right portion of the horseshoe that surround the radio does not lit at night.
6- Doors will not lock or unlock
Anyone know whats wrong...
Car is 996 TT 04
Thanks
Bo
Have you pulled the codes from the car?
If you don't have one, now might be a good time to invest in a Durametric, or whatever the new shiny, shiny is for P-Car diagnostics.
I just stumbled across this thing:
http://www.amazon.com/Alpine-KTP-445.../dp/B00142H8UI
It upgrades the power to 45RMS x 4 instead of the 18RMS x 4 or whatever is feeding into my 6 speakers from the 4 channels out of my head unit. I have to say I am intrigued. I don't need much low frequency power going to the cabin speakers because of my subwoofer and the crossover control I have via my head unit. This boost may be just enough...
Quote:
Yes, it is... I actually have 8 cabin speakers. I combined the door and front speakers for the front channel and the rears with an extra set in my sub box for the rear channel. This is permissible as long as the final impedance is within spec for the amp. You would have to decide how you want to configure your speakers.
Before you ask - I'm not talking about the subs being combined. My sub box looks like this:
I don't think impedence would be a problem unless I did something really stupid since the total number of speakers being driven by one channel of a 4-channel amp would be 2. I am assuming that my dash speaker clipping is a result of 2 speakers being driven by 1 channel of my head unit. Good assumption?
I'm thinking there are 3 options.
1. 4-channel amp to drive 2 dash speakers and 2 door speakers and drive the rears straight off the head unit. Not sure I could install this myself = $$$.
2. 6-channel amp. Not sure I could install this myself = $$$.
3. Try that alpine KTP-445. Total cost = $105.
The PDX-5 let you wire front door and dash together with no problem...
Your speakers are underpowered and that is the reason of your problem i think.
The little alpine amp would be not enough to listen the full potential of any good aftermarket speakers.
Ignition switch on my car caused some weird fan under the dash to run, wipers to run whe it detected rain, and who knows what else when the key was out. The switches GO on these cars and don't buy the knock off switch either! If it's never been replaced consider it. If the key is stiff to take out of the ignition swap it NOW!
I have 4 speakers on my 996 that drives the ship, but the ship pushes many watts? Ah, if I change the 4 cases with 4 kits of 10 cm and 4 tweeters that model use?
