Hi everyone, I'm new to car audio - the forums and the practice - so I was hoping to get some feedback on my plans to overhaul the system on a car I just picked up.
It's a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee that originally had the Infinity Gold system, but everything is blown and the deck is a bad replacement.
I'm prioritizing sound quality over volume, and I'd like to keep the budget lower on my first attempt.
That said, here's what I'm looking at. I've posted the prices I found on
Amazon - I'll probably stick with them unless I can save a good amount elsewhere.
Head Unit
Need: 3x pre-amp outputs, Bluetooth capability, decent EQ
Want: Rear USB port, microphone, good iPhone/Android integration, FLAC support
Don't care: Satellite radio, CD player
Pioneer MVH-X560BT - $100
MVH-X560BT
Amplifier
Rockford Fosgate R600X5 Prime 600 Watt 5-Channel Amplifier - $225
R600X5
Amplifier Installation Kit
I figure I could probably piece this together cheaper though.
RFK4x 4 AWG - $70
RFK4x
Speakers
I've heard component speakers in front and back would be best. Not sure where I would mount the rear tweeters though.
Infinity Reference 6500CX - $200 for front and rear combined
6500CX
Polk Audio db6501 - $300 for front and rear combined
db6501
Alpine SPS-610C - $150 for front and rear combined
SPS-610C
Subwoofer
These are some recommendations I got from
Crutchfield
Infinity KAPPA 100.9W - $105
100.9W
Rockford Fosgate Punch 10" P1 2-Ohm SVC Subwoofer (or 4-Ohm version) - $60
P1 2-Ohm
P1 4-Ohm
Skar Audio IX-12 (Or 4-Ohm version) - $60
IX-12
JL Audio 12W1v3-2 - $170
12W1v3-2
Subwoofer enclosure will depend upon which sub is chosen, but I am leaning toward a sealed enclosure either way.
Equalizer - None for now
Thanks for any help! I'll make sure to post updates as I get this put together.
