    Purchasing my first amp!!

    Yep, that is the one I saw and it was pretty nice. I couldn't decide between that or the Alpine....the alpine was slightly more expensive, had some lower frequencies and more power but the kenwood hummed so clean....blast and bother all these choices!

    Purchasing my first amp!!

    Well the JBL I was being gifted is a bust: Poor storage in a leaky garage. Going to pick up a Alpine SWS-12d4 Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. I know which amp I want if I decide to power the sub separately. Is the Precision Power 900.5 P900.5 - Phantom - Amplifiers - Products still still...

    Will do!! As I stated in the previous post, this first set up will be professionally installed, but I don't plan on going back everytime I want to make an adjustment. Definately a good bit of info right there, thanks!

    Purchasing my first amp!!

    In all honesty I was going to do the install myself. I have no issue ripping my car apart and putting it back together, BUT being this is my first kit i think it would behoove me to have it professionally done. Once it's installed, I play with it, i read more on these forums, and my knowledge...

    Purchasing my first amp!!

    Thanks for the tip on the 900.5 and it's at the lower end of my budget so I'm happy. Think you could give me a 123 easy breakdown on amps/speakers, matching their power levels up, and pros cons of under/over powering? I'm trying to understand why I was told it's better to over power speakers...

    Purchasing my first amp!!

    New to car audio, I am trying to learn and get a decent beginner kit set up. I currently own a 07' Chrysler 300, the following is my current set up: HU: JVC KW-av61bt Max power out put: 50w x 4 RMS: 20w RMS x 4 channel @ 4 ohms (no more than 1% THD+N) Amplifier: MOS-FET Equalizer: 3 band...

    Which speakers and where??

    Yeah new to car audio and it's sad when a person getting their feet wet can prove a 40 year "expert" wrong. Funny your bring that up, I almost bought alpine type S or R. They both sounded great but in the end the Kenwoods were a better match for my ears. 7 years on an aircraft carrier make...

    Which speakers and where??

    Not installed yet, but I called my local car audio here at the beach to ensure they fit. They said that's a popular model for my style 300 and they install them regularly, so when they arrive and I put them in I'll follow up just so I'm not putting bad info out ala crutchfield.

    Which speakers and where??

    Took your advice and took door off and called crutchfield. My 2007 non-navi 4 speaker Chrysler 300 is in fact 6x9 with a depth of ~5 inches total. If the next person spends days looking for an answer and gets the "they are 6x9" "they are 6.5" "they are 6-3/4"....the answer may very well be 6x9...

    Which speakers and where??

    So I have run into a problem. Apparently Chrysler 300 2007 front door 6x9 have depth issues. I can't for the life of me find what depth is suitable. Anyone out there run into this problem and if so can you recommend a pair that will fit? I have the 2.7 non navi 4 speaker set up. I decided to...
