Noob here. Well, it's been like 30+yrs since my last install anyways.
I've replaced some just to get the stock crap out. The pieces that will
remain are the Pioneer HU and rears.
It's my daily driver, so I'm interested in SQ.
Looking for some advise on which way to go here, and, what I may need
in the way of possible electrical upgrades. The "itch' has arrived!
'99 Ram Sport std. cab, 5.9 Auto 4x4
Small acoustic space, you bet. Recently bought and it's as new w/35k mi.
Anyhow, what I've installed/done so far:
HU; Pioneer DEH-P9400MP
Changer; Pioneer CDX-P1280 12 Disk Changer
Sub; JL Audio StealthBox (as yet un-wired)
Doors; Fosgate FRC3269 6x9 2-ways
I know, I know. 6x9's? But no panel trimming and fit behind perfect.
Rear; Fosgate FNQ3614 2-way 6.5' Components
6.5's mounted opposing, low in stock pos behind seating
Tweets currently glass mtd behind head rests. Not bad jumped @ -6db.
Wiring; The Big 3. Yea, I've lurked here for a while //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif
Now, what I want to ask advice on here is what below will functionally work and
what electrical upgrades might/will be needed. The FNQ's are from an old ride.
I like the sound they produce and I'm very familiar with them.
Front: Fosgate FNQ3146 3-way 6.5" Components
Doors; 6.5" mids from the FNQ3614
Kicks; 4" mid-range (to be installed at a later date if req'd)
Tweets; 1" tweets dash mtd opposing at corners of windshield
Sub; J-L Audio SteathBox
Rear: Fosgate FNQ3614 2-way 6.5' Components
6.5" midbass from the FNQ3146 mounted opposing, low in stock pos behind seating
Tweets in rear will find a more pemanent "home' back there.
Amp(s) you ask? Well, couple of choices here to use.
I have all the below amps, just a choice of what to use.
Also, I have a Fosgate CPCC40 40 Farad Carbon Cap.
US Amps USA-5600X 5ch. The 6 input model, not the 4.
75x4 and 200x1
or
Necessary electrical upgrades to use the below 3 amps.
Higher amp alt? Cap(s)?
2x Pioneer PRS-X340
Bridged 150x2. One for the mids and one for the tweets.
Pioneer PRS-X320
Bridged 375x1 to power the sub.
Someone? Anyone?
If I use the Pioneer amps, their gains WILL be lowered as I already am exhibiting
hearing loss //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif resulting from my childhood. But my love of musc remains!!
TIA,
