you used the rca? to conect it to the stereo? i never heard anyone doing that, try the casset, aux adapter or even the "ipod adapter" for you headunit, and you should always turn the volume just from your headunit

an ipod adapter for decks is usually about $50 (canadian). i dont know why you wouldnt be able to turn the volume anymore on the deck. check and see if you are set to low output on your deck (mine had that only went to 30 switched to hight output and goes to 50) and also try setting the aux gain or volume adjust on the deck.

no i no what he means i have it to it is either under setting or under ur other setting hard to explain in mine i just hold the power button and push src and it goes to factory setting i believe it would be int here and if ur amp gain on the hu is set to low that could be a reason y
i no it is expensive that is y i said get the one a bb it is only 20

press menu then press mode, use >> and << to get to subwoofer then press mode you can turn it on or off right? now if you start out again you can select your subwoofer system maybe? im not sure exactly how your deck works.

i think thats how yours is. just look around in your settings...theres lots of stuff i still dont understand on my own deck ill ask my friend later and repost i thnk he has the same deck.

heres the link to your decks online manual:

if your deck is like mine, each source can have different settings. so your cds are loud enough so maybe look in your aux in or whatever your mp3 player plug in is in and try to find a volume adjustment. my deck has one for every source.

and just a quick note....your mp3 volume should be turned up to about 3/4 of the way and then control the rest of the volume on your deck this is what you are doing right?

u could use some line drivers hifonics makes a decent one...

and ummm check the ipods volume and check you alpine volume too... it be that the rca from the headunit accept higher voltage signals and the ipod its too low..
