[QUOTE="thex2, post: 8548457, member: 672278"] Background: 15 years ago, I had a 1997 Chevy Tahoe with 2x JL Audio 15" W3's powered by 2x JL Audio 500/1 amps and then 4x MB Quarts (don't remember the model, but they were high quality speakers) in the doors, powered by a JL Audio 300/4. The head unit was an Eclipse CD-8506 and I had an Alpine Equalizer. The system was installed by a professional and it sounded great. I heard a lot of other systems and none sounded as high quality as mine. Currently, I'm looking to reproduce that system in my current 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. There's talk about how a lot of people have poor sounding systems because they didn't know what they were doing when they installed it or they didn't tune it properly after. Can somebody point me in the right direction with some links that contain good information for somebody that's a novice on car audio? I've got a 12" JL Audio w7 in an HO Wedge box, with a JL Audio 1000 watt amplifier and some random capacitor that I'd like to install in my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'd like to replace the front door speakers (unplug the rears - do I really need them?), head unit and add an equalizer all at the same time, but don't really know where to start on determining which equipment best pairs with what I already have. What size wire to purchase that'll be able to feed the amps the power they need, etc... Is there any guide out there that'll help me get going on this? I'm aiming for high sound-quality.
