    I paid extra to get the Ai-NET cable and the optical cable with the PXA-H701. The optical cable that i got has the same square head with the little knob, fiber optic, on both ends. Apparently I need an adapter to fit the back of the W505?

    I was going to pull an all nighter to get the front stage completed... but I don't have the proper cable.

    and NO GROMETS! I figure it's gonna blow up from duct tape and foam anyway so what the hell.

    after I turned the deck on with the Ai-NET hooked up, it made the power to the factory speakers via the harness full blast after I clicked the volume from 0 to 1, so I disconnected the factory speakers and installed the front stage. It is in. I set the crossover settings to the PXA. No sound. If I turn it up, I get some sound, but inaudible.

    anyway heres a vid of the build so far from earlier today as requested

    seriousely...no help? I'm going out to take more pics and make another vid.. I got a lot done between yesterday at 10AM till this morning at 5AM...I'm up at 11AM again. No more posting here till I get some replies. I know there's a lot of lurkers here... No help? Please? I can't do anything right now...last night at 5AM I went to walmart and got another RCA last night and ran that from the deck to crossover...still no sound. When I turn the deck up I can kind of hear the song really distorted, so I know somehow it is getting from the deck to the speakers...got to be a setting.

    Please?

    OK last nite hooked up the crossover. After hooking it up, the factory speakers became full blast if volume wasn't set to 0. So going from 0 to 1 goes from nothing to full blast. Turning it louder did nothing. Disconnected them and installed speakers with amps.

    No sound...well, very quiet and distorted once the volume is set to around 20... can hardly hear it, but it's there, and only thing u can make ou is the beat.

    Had alpine dealer look at it today, the W505 does not have optical anymore! **** ME. So he looked at it, couldnt figure it out.

    Then we hooked the RCAs strait from deck to 6.5's amp..850.4 they are LOUD. But, the volume does nothing! 0 there is nothing, turn it up to 1, and its full blast, turn up to 35 and back down, does nothing.

    Hit the speaker icon button on the main display that usually gives me bass treble and subwoofer, now its MX something or other and its set to 3

    hmmm power it up and wire straight from the deck again and start fiddling with dials and settings i guess.

    i have an old xover that has an input selector, front in /front rear in. i had to wiggle the switch back and forth to get it to let a signal thru. dirty contacts i guess.

    so re wire it and try. all i got. go one amp at a time.

    That's exactly what i would do.. wire it straight to the deck. RCA's to amp. i can't understand why you get full blast volume from 0 to 1 volume. Are you sure your RCA's are good?

    I would try the following:

    1. try another set of RCA's.
    2. Like pedro said, do one amp at a time.
    3. if problem still happens, check the amps in another car or with another deck.

    that's all i have for now. sorry, wish i could help more man.

    the HU went into a mode for the crossover. after I disconnected the Ai-NET and power then rehooked power, it went back
