Old School Basshead...now want something clean

[helraza]

Recently, the dash 3.5"' speakers blew in my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. They are Boston Acoustic's that came as part of the Premium sound package. I ordered a few kicker 3.5"s to replace them and that got me looking at car audio again. And now I want to redo my system a bit.

Like I said it's a Boston Acoustics's system with 3.5's in the dash, 6x9 in the door, and 6 3/4's in the back. I also have a Phoenix Gold xs2500 running off the Hi Level inputs and a box with 2 JL 10w0's. I just added that in because I had it from back in the day.

Anyway I am looking for something clean to replace the factory system with. I dont really care about bass any more...I mean I think 2 JL 10's is enough. I really don't want to replace the factory radio/nav unit either. If there is a good reason to dump my head unit or amp/subs I will hear you out, but I would rather keep the current subs and amp and the factory headunit.

If anyone could give me some suggestions on what to buy I would appreciate it.

I thought I might talk a bit about the system I had back in the day, when I was a kid. This would ahve been in the mid 90's.

2 15" Roc Fos Powers running off of 2 Punch 200 ix's.

2 Sets of Kicker componets, I cant remember the name but they were not cheap running of a Punch 4040.

Head Unit was some Alpine but I can't remember the name.

All of this stuffed in a 1989 Chevy Corsica notch back. It was a lot of fun though. I built everything myself with buddies and learned a lot. That's what makes car audio great. Thanks in advance for your help and thanks for having this web site...it got the juices flow again. Now I am off the look at the build log section...

I would do away with the factory 3.5s, run you a nice set of 2 way components in the front and some matching coaxs in the back for rear fill, off a decent 4 channel. Im sure those 10's get decently loud in an SUV anyway so i see why you wouldnt mess with them. Look into a set of diamond D3 components and coaxials for the jeep, theyre on ebay right now at about 50$ a set, and audiopipe 1000w 4 channel amps are around 100$, ive had good experience with them too.

turn the radio on full blast and play an empty fm station... itll happen.

Should I make some custom mounts and put the driver in the door and the tweeter in the dash? I have never heard of either company, I guess it's been a while.
