Ok, I need a better sounding system.
After doing a search I have decided to do this.
This is what I am going to use:
Alpine CDA-9825 head unit.
Infinity Kappa 5" x 7" speakers for the front and rear.
Power for these speakers will be supplied by the head unit.
8" JL 8WO speaker mounted in the stock sub box. (I'll make it fit).
I will use a connector to hook the head unit up to the stock wiring for the speakers. I will also use a connector to bypass the stock amp for the speakers.
Questions on install:
1).When I bypass the speaker amp, will the stock sub amp now not work?
2.)Will I have to run a wire from one of the pre amps from the head unit to the sub amp?
3.)If I use the stock sub amp, should the speaker be 4 OHM?
4.)If I have to run a wire from one of the pre amps to run the sub amp, I might as well get a better sub amp. What amp will fit in the stock location of the sub amp, should it be a monoamp, how many watts will be adequate, should the amp be 4 OHM or 8 OHM? (I am not looking for the top af the line amp, just one that would be adequate).
I want to connect the components listed above, and utilized the separate bass control that comes with the head unit.
