Alpine Powerpack + Factory Radio + No Subwoofer

Sorry if this had been asked a billion times, but I plan on adding an Alpine Powerpack to my factory radio.

Bought the Red Wolf Harness. As the subject suggests not adding a subwoofer.

Can somebody confirm the correct jumper settings. Do I set the input to speaker?

Also not sure if the yellow power wire will reach the battery? Anybody know? If not any recommendations on a type of wire to buy to extend?

thanks

 

Without having access to the manual,

I'm taking the wild ass guess that RCA=low level input, speaker=high level input. You want high level input if tapping off the stock head unit.

All crossovers off is correct for no sub.

For the power wire, take the amp power consumption and run an appropriate gauge for that length. There are plenty of DC gauge charts all over the internet. I'm going to guess 14g for a short run to the dash, 12g for 10 feet or longer.

 

Thank you sir

 

I recently did the same but my Alpine is the

$214 KTA450 Alpine KTA-450 4-Channel Power Pack Amplifier with Dynamic Peak Power 45W RMS x 4, At 2 Or 4 Ohms

KTA450. The back of yours looks slightly different. For mine, I used 0% gain in the front and about 20% in the rear to bring the rears up to par with the fronts.

I still haven't figured out mine, but I got a slight hissing that can only be heard if I stick my ear to the speaker and there isn't music playing.

 

Did you run power to the battery, where did you ground? Pics would be appreciated if you have any.

 

So I'm running a completely different amp, but I'll butt my ugly nose in.

For running power to the battery, I did this:



Cheap fuse block. It keeps everything tidy and easy for (hopefully not) future troubleshooting. My amp tucked behind the dash so I used a small 14g wire to feed it.

For running to a ground, there are many, many ground points hidden throughout the vehicle. The basic strategim is to pull a panel, look for where the stock electrics are grounding, and piggyback off of that. In the dash there are two metal columns running up the center. You'll see some ground cables tied to it about halfway up, next to the climate controls. If you're mounting yours under seat, there's a ground point under the center console storage box, the frame where the 120v inverter ties to.

 

thanks for the tips!

 

Sorry follow up noob question.

why is there a blue and white remote wire on the input and output side of the included amp harness

assume I don’t need to connect either with the “auto sensing” feature?

thanks
