The analog audio should be in the form of an RCA (red and white) connector. A simple 3.5mm stereo-mini plug to RCA adapter should do the trick. http://www.gigaweb.com/products/view/18137/6-3-5mm-stereo-mini-to-dual-cable.html If your TV does not have an RCA audio out connection, then you have a slight problem and you would need more specialized equipment to do the digital to analog conversion for the analog stereo-mini plug on your stereo system.<br><b>References : </b><br> Your TV should have both a digital and an analog audio output.

If your TV does not have an RCA audio out connection, then you have a slight problem and you would need more specialized equipment to do the digital to analog conversion for the analog stereo-mini plug on your stereo system.

The main control on the system has a single cable (green) that is supposed to plug in to wherever. Right now I just plug it into my iPod/Laptop. I want to connect it to my TV but my TV only has a connection for a digital audio cable. How do I connect these speakers to my TV? How do I connect my stereo audio speakers to my digital audio input on my TV.?

The most they are good for is filtering noise out of the power wire, which shouldn't be a problem anyway. Extra batteries can work, but are usually reserved for extreme systems along with a isolator. They still will need a way of being recharged and stock alternators won't do. The most common upgrade is a high output alternator coupled with a Optima battery. The alt is what recharges the battery, runs the whole car's electrical system as well as any mods done. The battery is the means of starting and electrical reserve to aid the alternator. See where this is going? You could start off with the Optima battery as it has long drain times and extra reserve. If you start to have problems keeping it charged while driving and running the stereo, lights, etc then get the H.O. alternator. You also will want to upgrade some wiring under the hood to help current flow better and this will work with stock batteries and stock alternators as well. Look up the "Big 3". That's the cheapest upgrade. The Alpine is a good strong amp, but it is efficient too. Unless you are doing much playing while the car is not running, you should not have much problems. If you see the lights dimming while driving at night and playing the system, start systematically doing the mods in this order and see if it helps before going to the next: 1. Big 3 2. Optima battery 3. H.O. alternator<br><b>References : </b><br> Caps are a waste of money as they draw power to give a quick jolt for peaks, not continuous power.

I have been searching the net for information over car audio systems only to have every site contradict the other about the "right" way to do a car audio set up

I have an alpine pdx 1.1000 amp with two alpine type r 10′ subs

Some sites claim you need a new alternator, others claim adding batteries or capacitors–I want to choose the right route with my car audio system without having to waste hard earned money on things I don’t need.

any suggestions?

It is fairly easy to understand them though, as long as they know the language pretty well. The only real difference is that they have a different accent when speaking English.
