Extend both cables. Thats what I did on mine.

 

DAMN $180 for a yellow top... i'm glad i get em for wholesale through my work. I might be able to pick up a couple extra when i get mine. I get em for $100. Could prolly get em to you a couple of you for $150 shipped depending on how far you are from SD.

I had the red cap, but i returned it and now i ordered the yellow cap, and overall, there is a difference if you had a battery like i had. My old battery at nite if i had my dome light on and hit my signal it would dim. new battery no dimming what so ever.

 

Umm how the hell do you do that?

On another note... That new Alpine unit has been pushed back to mid April release..

BLAH!!!!!!

 

Use speaker wires to extend the cables!!!LMFAO!!!!!!!! I say you wait for the new one :-)

150 shipped.....i'm interested.....this yellow top, no need to extend cables, correct? thanks..........Walnut, ca 91789

 

Which one, the 51R or the D35R???
-GP-

 

I would go with the D35R . This setup is the way to go.

 

i couldn't find a d35r. my wife picked up a d51r for me, and installed it while i was at work... i love that woman. the terminals were as it should... i didn't even know a d35r existed, or i would have gotten that one.

by the way, i picked it up for $150 (including tax) locally. i haven't driven at night yet....

thanks for the help guys!

 

awesome info, my OEM battery was shot after coming out of a movie last night. Time for a new batt, i think I will go with the yellow top

 

drove at night... cranked the sub. turned on headlights, blinkers, other 'accessories' (which i won't name), and no light dimming whatsoever.

the d51r seems to fit my needs quite nicely. and as a bonus, it also weighs 10 lbs less.

 

Sears has the only d51r in stock in nearby. $149 bucks with a core.

I will purchase it today, glad to hear that yours works great. The G has tons of accessories so I figure the yellow will be better

 

something came up, not getting the yellow top for now...sorry...

 

No problem, i found out the place i get them from doesnt have any reverse terminal's in stock and they cant order them either, i was going to get one for myself and another guy here in SD but i cant now.
