    Been in the shop working on mine. My head unit is a 7977, so it's similar to yours. The old DEI sounds pretty good. It looks like I pulled it from the ocean, but it works great.

    Linear Power is one of the cleanest amps ever made! I have had a couple and loved them. Tough to feed that class A power, but if you feed it you will smile.:laugh:

    Hey Al, your Alpine got an AI-NET input? I am trying to use my input for my Ipod. I bought a RCA to AI-Net adapter and plugged the Ipod into it but can't access that aux. input. I can't find the owners manual. Leave it to Alpine. All my other units just have RCA inputs for the aux.

    You have excellent taste in head units! That is the one I wanted to use but becauce of the bright face it would not look right in my Century. The high preamp voltages and preamp only makes this a real hit! All the reviews have thumbs up and there hard to come by becuase of being a first class comp ready HU. I right now have three Alpine CDA 7878 head units and I'm hooked on Alpine because of the SQ!!!! AL.

    Well, I figured out the aux. input. I had to go into setup and turn it on. Never seen a HU like that before.

    I have learned something. I will never be too old to have a loud system. I love it.

    71buickskylark Buicks kick A$$!!

    Talk about old school, I remember all those amps... I've got 2 a/d/s p640 Power plates, and Infinity Component speakers for front and back waiting to be installed in my 71 Lark.

    I just traded my new Rockford Fosgate Power T1's tonight for the older Power HX2's. I got four for two. I played the new T1's for 20 mins and had one come apart. The magnet separated somehow. The shop says this has happened to a few others so far. That sucks! I will go back in years and gain in quality. Glad it was under warranty!!
    Now it's time for a 71 Riv to thump. I must be turning back the clock.

    infinity is a very good brand, alpine also.

    for amps, i have a lanzar 800 (not very good) to 2 RF 12's, old scool ones.

    i had a Soundstorm amp hooked to a dual 10", the amp made the sub sound suprisingly good, so now i putting in 5 audiobahn 12's hooked to 6000 watts of soundstorm power, which needs a second battery, well see how it sounds.

    unfortunately the car didnt have enough room for a large box, so im about a cubic foot short on airspace, well see how it goes.
