Already thinking about upgrading fronts, heres my problem..

[Schweino 10+ year member]

97 mustang...5x7 fronts. Its gonna need new kicker panels because of lack of depth. Thinking about getting alpine's newer type X series 6.5" components. My infinity kappa's up front are 90w rms, 270w max, 2 ohms, 46hz-21khz. The alpines are 100w rms, 300w max, 4 ohms, 31hz-40khz. What kinda sound upgrade would you think I would get? Worth the hole process? It also involves getting a new amp, which im ok with, cuz my backs are running on 2 ohm an needs 4 as well

The stuff I have is much nicer then any mainstream stuff... granted the X's are pretty nice...

I thought they were too. Im not big into high's, love my lows, hence what I really look for. My kappa's up front dont go AS low as Id like to hear. Post the HAT specs?

Your front speakers arent supposed to go low....

But if youre talking about missing midbass then perhaps you should seal up those doors and cover them with deadener on the inside. that will help with your sound more than anything. Also those HATs are the bees knees. If I hadnt just blown 200 on another sub I dont need, they would be mine.

The stereo shops around here crack head. 350 to wire all speakers, run amp kit, an cut out my backs for 6.5's. What HAT's should I be looking at??

Effff that! I have speaker wire and all sorts of stuff to man... the Imagines are the ones I have...

Maybe if you had the Stage 2's, I'd say id be more interested Appreciate that throw in though, think Im gonna stick with the Type X's. Now, as far as me sealing my doors, what would a smart person use, that a stereo shop might rip me off on? I know I can get Dynamat (a better suggestion there would be informative as well) anytime. Ive seen some type of rope before too, thats made of the same material as the mat.

Why the stage 2's? Id check the price and ask around here before you say that lol... For deadener go here >>>> http://www.caraudio.com/forums/general-discussion/512448-%5Bofficial%5D-audio-technix-group-buy-thread.html

Alpine X components used to use a really high end tweeter (SEAS IIRC?) and was a highly regarded set of components. Not sure if they're the same still.... Plenty of good stuff out there. Personally I always like the Infinity mids/highs on lower power (up to about 50-65W ish) after that I don't think they do so hot... There's dozens of good components that'll sound good and handle more power for you though but if you don't put some work into deadening I'd say don't bother upgrading components.

I thiiiink someone who is bored, and possibly owns a 1994-1998 mustang , should tell me exactly what to get to deaden my front end. I would be extremely grateful, and would perhaps send you some cookies. If theres more then just throwing on a door kit I want to know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
