    Upgrading my Tahoe

    I have read that the JL 8w3 will fit well in the factory box. I really need to keep all of my cargo room so I need to stick with the factory enclosure. Leaning towards that sub.

    Upgrading my Tahoe

    Hey guys, I have an '02 Tahoe that I'd like to start upgrading. I already have an Alpine UTE-52BT, I'm not pleased with the quality and I will eventually upgrade it but for now it will work. It does have 3 RCA outputs which is a plus. The Tahoe has 6.5" components in the doors and an 8"...

    Need a recommendation on a Type S replacement

    Yea.. was like a 14 day return period through the place I bought them. Said I had to send the entire speaker set back instead of just the side that was bad. Didn't want to go 2-3 weeks without music so I've been putting it off.

    Need a recommendation on a Type S replacement

    I'm really looking at the Massive Audio CK6 but I am unsure if they will fit, would the VK6 be a decent upgrade from the Type S?

    Need a recommendation on a Type S replacement

    Working with a 95 Grand Cherokee, not sure what the mounting depth limit is in the door though. I bought a set of new Alpine Type S 6.5 components, they popped from the very beginning. The store I bought it from said it's been to long to return them so I'm going to have to figure out if I can...

    Alpine Type S 6.5 question

    In my 95 Grand Cherokee I'm running Alpine Type S 6.5 Coaxial's in the front doors and using the factory tweeters and amp for the highs. I plan on moving the Coax's to the back door and installing a set of 6.5 Type S components in front (already have these). Now I have two questions. Firstly, I...

    Just ordered the Litebox4

    I was looking for a good quality amp for under $200 that would push my Alpine Type S's. I've read lots of good reviews on this amp so hopefully it should fit the bill nicely. I plan on mounting it under the seat in my Grand Cherokee, the same place the factory infinity amp is located. I was...

    Alpine PDX-5 any good?

    I was going to do a 4 channel amp and skip a sub but I think in order to be happy with my system I need to run either an 8" or 10" sub. I'm looking at the Alpine PDX-5 since it does 75w RMS x 4 and 300w x 1. I think this would compliment my Type S speakers pretty well. Also, what would be a...

    Which amp to choose?

    Did you even read the listing? It's broken. Would have to be sent off to be repaired, could easily be $200+..

    Which amp to choose?

    Ah.. See I was under the impression the RMS was still accurate since the peak is what is advertised. Those definitely won't be worth it since the it's not much of a step up. I believe the speakers can handle up to 75-79 RMS so I'd like to give them a decent amount of power. Used is fine.. if...

    Which amp to choose?

    Worst than the head unit alone? I've heard several people say the alpine power pack greatly increased the sound with the speakers, I would imagine that is on par with these amps listed?

    Which amp to choose?

    I'd prefer not to. Not trying to build the "best" just trying to get my speakers to where they will not distort under louder volume.

    Which amp to choose?

    I've got a 95 Grand Cherokee, had the factory Infinity system but I have bypassed the factory amp. My current setup is an Alpine IDA-X303 head unit, Alpine Type S 6.5" Components up front and Type S 6.5" (full range) in the rear doors. It sounds pretty good but in the summer with the windows...
