Actual RMS watts on factory Alpine system?

[1CleanLs]

Hey jmtiseo, you mind telling or if you got a pic showing me which is the fuel pump relay? Thanks. As far as wattage, I will probably run 300 rms or so which is more than enough for me......i have had big sound systems in the past including Fosgate 1000 amps and 4 12"s, so with this system I am looking for a clean sounding system.

I'll take a pic when I pick up the ol' lady from the shop this afternoon. My systems out now so I should be able to get to it quickly.

I have factory alpine replacements. If you're interested PM me

Since they are rated at 25W @ 4 ohms, my guess is RMS rating of 12W RMS @ 4 ohms.

Blue wire connected to green wire connecting relay 7 and diode 2. Reference the inside of the cover for their position if the pic below doesn't help. Don't know if this is the fuel pump relay but that's where my remote is coming from.

Thanks for the pics and detailed info!!!!

Did you splice it with the green one? (cut the green wire and tied all 3 ends together)

I don't recall how it is attached. remove installation, attache wire, solder the joint, cover with electrical tape.

Ok, thanks once again for your time/help! Are your Infinitys running off of the stock head unit? If so, is the head unit giving them enough power as compared to the stock Alpine speakers? (i apologize for all the questions)

 

[jmtiseo]

Yeh I just swapped them in because I had one speaker that blew. Don't know the technical term but when I took it out the cone wouldn't move.

The head unit is giving them enough power to operate, yes. Is it giving enough power to live up to its full potential of being a 6x8 probably not. Listen to what the other guys posted.

Cool thanks!
