Sub and amp installation with stock stereo

I have a 2007 gmc Sierra extended capickup up, I want to add a little extra base to the system but want to keep the stock stereo in place. I have read about wiring the system with an adaptor from the speaker. Just looking for some suggestions on the best way to go about this and even what hardware I should look into!!

a line out convertor is all that you would need for that setup to get hooked up to a factory head unit. all you would need after that is an amp kit, amp, and subwoofer. good luck!

Subwoofer and Amp installation?

How much would Best Buy charge for a Subwoofer and amp installation plus the wires? I have a 2000 Dodge Intrepid, dont have the wires, have a 2 12" Kicker subs, and a bridged Rockford Fosgate. Thank you!

Also, if the amp is rated at 800 watts continuous (RMS), we're going to have to use a 4 AWG amp kit. If it's 800 watts PEAK, but the RMS is 500 watts or below, 8 AWG will suffice. If you have an orignal factory radio (OEM) we are going to have to use a line out put converter (LOC) in order to properly provide a signal input to the amp. LOC typically are around $15 plus labor.
8 AWG amp kit $74-$100
4 AWG amp kit $100-160
LOC $15
2ch/1ch amp labor $70
LOC install typicaly $20
If box is not loaded $20 per sub x2

Hi mnomi! Sorry to learn of the trouble you're running into with your new phone! Have you already switched the device via your My Verizon : http://vz.to/16lkVUY Once you have done this, and verify the sim card is inserted securely, the activation will begin. If the phone is stuck on the wheel and you cannot move forward, you may want to do an alternative reset. Please follow the below instructions:
1) Ensure the device is powered off.
2) Press and hold the Volume Down button (located on the right edge) until instructed to release in step 4.
3) Press and hold the Power button (located on the top-right edge) until the device vibrates (approximately 2 seconds) then release.
4) When the restore screen appears (exclamation mark), release the Volume Down button.
5) From the restore screen, press then release the following keys to initiate the reset process:
1. Volume Up button
2. Volume Down button
3. Power button
4. Volume Down button
*Allow several minutes for the process to complete (rotating gears appear on the display to indicate that the reset is in progress).
If you have any further questions or concerns, please let us know. Keep us posted if this resolves your concerns. Thanks!

Problems with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Car Stereos

There are three cars in our family, and every car as a stereo with built-in iPod interfaces. Car 1 has a Pioneer system, Car 2 has a Kenwood, and my car has an Alpine system. I can't hear any audio when I connect an iPod touch or iPhone 3G to the Kenwood and Pioneer systems. They can perform functions on the iPhone/iPod touch, such as change songs, randomize songs, repeat songs, etc, however, there is no audio. 80% of the time the Alpine does the same thing; 10% of the time an error is displayed on the head unit; and 10% the iPod Touch/iPhone works perfectly.
All three systems can operate my iPod Nano correctly without any problems at all. Because the same problem occurs to all the stereos and because the iPod Touch and iPhone are basically the same minus phone capabilities, I am beginning to believe that the problem is with them and not the stereo systems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how can I fix it if it is fixable?

Which Touch (first or second generation) and which iPhone (2G or 3G)?
And what generation Nano are you testing with.
Your auto systems may not be compatible with the newer generation model iPods/Phones.

Imovie and audio - dealing with separate stereo tracks in imovie

The footage I am working with has stereo recording - a boom mike (L) and a lapel mike (R) were used simultaneously. However, I want to use only the left track that has the boom mike because the guy with the lapel mike is talking too much and drowning out the conversations on the boom mike.
I see that there are separate tracks playing in imovie but I see no way to use only the left or right track in the audio. What do I need to do? if iMovie cannot handle it, can I export the audio as a stereo track and edit it in Garageband, then re-import it?

Hi
if iMovie cannot handle it, can I export the audio as a stereo track and edit it in Garageband, then re-import it?
Yes - iMovie HD or other - Can't handle this.
Export out - as QuickTime expert mode and Audio only and as .aiff
Put it into an Audio editor - like GarageBand or Audacity (free on internet)
Edit it and save as .aiff
Re-import into iMovie and put on bottom track - silencing out top-track.
Done this many times -Works.

Sub and Amp Installation

Is the Rockford-Fosgate 10-Gauge amplifier installation kit with interconnect containing 17' of 10 gauge power wire, 3' of 10 gauge ground wire, 20' of twisted RCA cable, and 20' of remote wire and an ATC fuse holder and fuse, the kit that i will need to install 2 12" subwoofers, 1200 watts peak power and 400 continuous power, and an 1800 watt amp in my car? my radio has aux ports behind it for subs so. If there is a better kit for around the same price or if there is anything else that i will need please let me know as well.

the amp that i am planning on going with is the kenwood 9104D 1800 watt so if that is a true 1800 watt amp then yeah. but you say at least 4..so would 0 or 2 be better? and if so could you by chance suggest a kit then that would have that size wire and everything else i will need. like i said in my first post the stereo has the aux ports so there is no need to hard wire so if you could keep that in mind when/if you suggest a kit. but then the 12 ga speaker wire is ok then? and if you decide...or anyone else does...to suggest a kit if at all possible id like it to be around $50 but if not its understandable.

Sub and Amp in 05 Pontiac G6 GT

I have a 05 Pontiac G6 GT and I would like to install Subs in my trunk of the car. I have no experience with this. I was wondering if someone could tell me what I am looking for or any suggestions. Also I want to keep my stock radio and still hook up the subs. And I would like to add an Aux port to the radio if possible. The stock radio has an AUX button but no input. Also about the subwoofers in the trunk will they have the same effect as subs in a truck open to the seating of the car. If you can get estimates on how much each thing will cost it will be much appreciated.
Thanks

SAP ECC 6.0 and EHP5 Installation with DIMP functionatilty

Hi Frineds,
We are installaing ECC6.0 and EHP5 fresh installation and looking for DIMP functionality too active in the system.
If we do only installation only Central Application Usage type then we can directly install EHP5 system (Central Application consist of SAP_APPL & EA-APPL).
But My question can we get the DIMP also after this installation type or we need to first install ECC6.0 and then upgrade EHP to get the DIMP function..I have not seen this answer any where in the guide or in SDN...
Thanks.

Hi Manas,
ECC-DIMP is a add-on to ECC so you can install this add-on or perform a delta upgrade.
Relevant installation and support packages are available on SAP Service Marketplace.
Check Note 874473 - Release strategy for ECC-DIMP as of ECC 6.0
Many Thanks.

Blutooth Problem with car stereo and iPhone5

Got new iPhone 5 yesterday and paired it with car stereo for handsfree use. When I make a call I can use radio answer button and the speakers. When I receive a call I can only use handset. iPhone 4 worked fine so I doubt it is the car. I deleted and repaired the phone yet still the same issue. Help?

Hey nippers1!
It does sound like we have a conflict with your device and your car Bluetooth. Thanks for doing that great troubleshooting! I would like to ask, have you checked with your car manufacture to see if the phone was compatible with your car's Bluetooth? Sometimes different devices that have different Bluetooth profiles will work differently. Can other iPhone 5s connect at all? Can your iPhone 5 connect and use other Bluetooths fully? Also, are you having any problems with making and receiving calls in general? Also, is your device up to date? Please make sure it is on the most current software. Please report back!

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

I am trying to download iTunes on my new desktop computer (Windows 7, 64 bit). It starts installing, and then stops with the message- "The System Administrator has set policies to prevent this installation." I am the sole user- please help.

Problem with Stock A64 HSF and MSI K8N FSR

Hey guys I was wonderinf if anyone could help me with this little problem.
My stock A64 2800+ (newcastle) hsf no longer spins higher than 3500rpm anymore. I first bought my system about 3 months ago and paired it with the msi k8n fsr board. Everything was working fine and under heavy load playing games the hsf would spin to a loud (but effective) 5500rpm max (as measured by speedfan).
About a month ago I managed to kill my k8n board and got a replacement one. Now after setting everything back up, my hsf no longer spins any faster than 3500rpm, regardless if i turn my fan up to 100% in speedfan or run games for hours.
Anyone have a clue?
My specs:
A64 2800+ @ 2.16Ghz (newcastle core)
MSI K8N FSR
1 Gig DDR3200 (generic)
Leadtek Geforce 6600GT

this may sound weird but sometimes i like to return my bios to version 1.3 or below... i want to hear my cpu fan roar! eventhough the reading is high with the old bios, atleast now i'm sure that my CPU is cool... cooler if my CPU fan is on high speed.
hope msi can make a bios update where the user can manually adjust the fan speed to its max... (its true max speed) unlike right now which the max speed only reaches 3000 rpm but its capable of running 5500 rpm.
pray... pray... pray... Lord please have MSI hear my prayers.

I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.
I did notice that stuninstdrv.exe is running in task manager. Any help would be great...

If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
Let me know if that helped you.

Security issue with the SGA and multiple installation group.

Hi,
Documentation ARE WRONG:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e10743/preparing.htm#TDPRC131
# useradd -u 1100 –g oinstall -G dba -d /home/oracle -r oracle
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10816/typinstl.htm#CWSOL156
# useradd -u 1100 -g oinstall -G dba oracle
The "-g" and "-G" must be exchange!
In an advanced installation with multiple Oracle users call them ( ora1, ..., orai, ..., oran )
with multiple OSdba group defined users call them ( dba1, ..., dbai, ..., dban)
Associate each oracle user to a dba group with the same number and the install group as oracle told it.
User ora1 group dba1
User orai group dbai
User oran group dban
Now make the software installationS with the group OSinstall ( install) as written in the documentation, in 3 Oracle_home
Call the oracle_home1, oracle_home2, oracle_home3
Now check semaphores, Sharedmemory and files!

Silent install Air Runtime and Air App with custom installer?

I want to use a custom installer that will perform some actions, and then silently install air runtime and an air application. The goal here is to be able to perform a customized install for an Air application (for a user that might not have Air installed) without confusing the user with multiple install screens. Can I use a custom installer to silently install Air (if the user doesn't have it installed) and the Air app? If so, are there any restrictions on the custom installer? If there are any examples of this, please provide the links.

Since you applied for the distribution from Adobe you should
have received a link to a page where you can download what they
call the "side-car" installer. It's basically an installation
system they are making available to developers that can be easily
configured to deliver a bundled runtime and application
installation for Mac and Windows.
Check your email again and see if you can't find a link in
there pointing you to a download page for the AIR runtime as well
as the aforementioned side-car installer. For those who don't know,
here
is where you can apply for a redistribution permit for AIR.
I have a small tutorial posted that might be of help to you
on my blog:
