well i already installed the new speakers they sound good but i get too much base out of the door and a rattle from the rear speakers. i was told the dyno matt will get rid of the rattle.
Dyna matt is good stuff and will help stop rattles. The "bang for the buck" mod will keep the low bass notes from getting to those speakers. now if upgrade the stock amp will it mess anything up? what i'm asking is that does the stock amp connect to anything else besides the sounds? on top of that its not loud enough. i'm looking to put a 10 inch sub and a friend of mine said to get a small amp for the 4 new speakers and a separate one for the sub. is he right?
The stock amp is a good one, If you install a new head unit it will be louder than the stock system is now. Just hook up the front output wires to the stock wires. Then you can use an rca cable to run the rear, Or better yet a sub or non fade output to an amp you install in the cargo area. i want to go all infinity so the amps and the sub will be infinity i wanted alpine but too much money i figured infinity is good quality brand.
Infinity is a great brand. I like the sound of there speakers. The stock amp is Infinity also. I have an Alpine amp in my Crossfire. It's a 4 channel amp with ch 1 & 2 running the door speakers and ch 3 & 4 bridged to run a 10 inch Infinity Kappa sub. i'm learning a lot but not enough like how many caps do i need?
1 for each door. You don't really need a big cap for your sub amp unless your running BIG watts. do i need a bigger battery?
Nope, The stock battery is fine. You will need a good power and ground wire for any amp you install. At least 8ga and the more strands the better. Check out http://www.partsexpress.com/car-audio.cfm You don't need a "super dooper" ground kit either, It would not hurt but then again it will not really help. On some cars you might have to upgrade the ground system. The Crossfire is already well grounded. and would it be a good idea to just get rid of the stock wires and start fresh?
Bigger wires always help but you could get away with the stock wires. now if i do get 2 amps should i get 2 channel or should i get 4 channel ?
