Question : Alpine units.....

[Black Lancer]

Just one quick question..........I had a 9853.........IC blow.....no speaker output......no voltage on the pre ampout.....

heard of another unit that blew........Is this a common problem or are these isolated incidents?.......cuz in reviewing my install i came across something small that COULD have caused it to blow.........but wen i heard of another case...i started to wonder.....

WTK especially cuz i like the sound quality of Alpine conpared to pioneers......and i in the process of looking for a new deck......soemthing from the new line of alpines.......or one of the premier piooneer models

pioneer 880prs

trust meh

never had a problem with alpine units output ic blowing
but if you are not carefull with the install and the speaker wires ground off then it may blow

yea what i saw wuz that one of the wires.......had found it way under the seat bolt....and when that was tightened ........well it chip away at a small piece of the rubber insulation.........xposing about a 2mm of wire lol........so i assuming thas it.....
