Radio and clock fuse
Hi, I installed an Alpine CDA-9835R on my civic 95, but when i pump up the volume over the 25, the radio shut down and the backup fuse brokes. Any solution? Thanks

Re: Radio and clock fuse (CIVIC LSI)
doublecheck your install make sure you have a good ground. and if it keeps happening maybe you have a bad deck. the only other thing you could try is putting a 15 amp fuse in place of the 7.5 amp I belive it is and see if that helps. although putting a higher amp fuse is not reccomended as fuses are in place to prevent damge to your electrical system.

the 9835 draws a lot more power.
If you have a higher amp system in the car, and installed the radio to the factory cd wires, at higher volumes the draw can be too much.
hence when you installed it, it gives you a nice thick wire and says to NOT use the stock wires, rather to draw from a stronger current.

Is this some kind of super radio? j/k but that's interesting. I did professional car electronics install for about 4 years and am out of that game now. I was unaware that anyone made a deck that drew too much power for a stock electrical system to handle. If that's a fact as you stated then that's kinda dumb that alpine would do that. Why would you put a high power amp inside a deck instead of just having a super clean pre out signal with external amplifier? Like the DENON decks. Alot of their models are pre-out only. And by far one of the cleanest radio's I believe to be in production. But they don't pull enough current to blow fuses in stock electrical systems.
