[QUOTE="jt4x4, post: 8705824, member: 677386"] I have their powerpack in my Explorer, and I like it, but I did add it the same time I replaced my deck (alpine cde-w265bt), so i can't compare it with the deck outputs. I would go ahead and do it, so you only have to tear apart your dash once. I have owned enough alpine amps that i have faith in them. I assume Alpine does a lot more research and experiments than we ever could before they release a product. I did not run new wire for speakers, and I haven't noticed any problems. Obviously thicker wire means less resistance, which is beneficial for any conductor, but to me it isn't worth the hassle and kind of nullifies the convenience of using an inline amp. If i had one complaint, it's that higher output means each "click" on your volume knob creates a greater difference in volume, but that goes for every amp. If you prefer loud music out of your speakers, that's a perk; if you search for a perfect volume, it might be an annoyance. - Joe [/QUOTE]
