    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    I was thinking something like what this guy made. Got it from the facebook page. Just from estimating, an inch more at the top, 3 or 4" at the bottom, and 1/2" at both sides? I have a couple amps, and hoping I can fit them both on that 1 side. JL Audio 900/5 and an Alpine S-A32F. I think it...

    Aftermarket Amp and 12” sub install in a HK LIMITED!

    In that slightly recessed space on the right, I'm planning on buying a piece of plastic. If the seats are still out, do you mind giving me some measurements of something that would fit real good, with a little gap?

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    I did 2 ohm speakers for the doors and 4ohm in the dash with my Alpine system. I didn't notice any loudness issues. I ran into minor fitment issues with the window device on the front doors with the CDT CL69SUB, but I'm guessing those slim speakers would not be an issue. I'm planning on...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    I had no issues dropping a 3rd JL Audio in mine. The hole and everything seemed the same as the other 2.

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    I did not use the S model 6x9s. I only have the C2's in the dash at the moment. To be safe on my next speaker selection, I'm probably going with a 5.25". I posted on another thread that someone started that said proper mid bass. Check that out. I took a picture of the window part in...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    I'm not into that pod on the center dash. I ran the full size CDT 6x9s (CL-SUB) in the front and rear doors and the window mechanism on the front door is dragging. It looks like there is a lot of depth available for a speaker, but it looks to be dragging on the outer ring of the magnet. There...

    Has anyone installed proper midbass 6x9s in the doors?

    I pulled the speakers and noted the window went up smoothly. Upon inspection of the window component through the 6x9 hole, I noted that the window mechanism was scuffed, and looked to be slightly dragging on the speaker (pic below). I got a file into the door and filed the edges a bit. I...

    Has anyone installed proper midbass 6x9s in the doors?

    I used a zip tie to snug the metra harness against the speaker, so I don't think that is it. I'm not seeing scuff marks on my tint (so it's likely not a speaker issue). Here;s a pic: https://photos.app.goo.gl/wW7YraQCYz92adjX9

    Has anyone installed proper midbass 6x9s in the doors?

    I got my 2nd pair of 2 ohm "CL-69SUB/CF.2 - CDT Audio 6X9" and installed after work. The overall system sounds good, and no Active Noise Cancellation issues. I did the same things I did with the back doors, but I put some "Uxcell a15011200ux0421 Black 5m 16.5ft Length Car Speaker Sealing Tape"...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    Those wires with the plug are what the all the other speaker connections look like. I doubt it goes to anything in your system.

    Amplifier Recommendation

    Going to be spendy. 2 subs and the box will be 650, and the AmpPro was like 230. Since I got the CDT woofer 6x9s in the doors, I was thinking of a 5 channel to take care of the doors and sub. May even replace a pair with 3 way 6x9s.

    Amplifier Recommendation

    I ordered the AmpPro to avoid having to mess with any splicing. Think I'm going with the JL Audio RD500/1. I'll fuse the wire at the battery and a junction block near the amp.

    Sunscreen and window sensor sizes

    I haven't actually seen my sub, because it's mounted behind the rear seat. It's small and there is not a lot of space back there. I'm not sure which of the all-in-one compact speaker / amp combo boxes will fit that location. I'm contemplating pulling the stock sub off and using the mounting...

    Changed Dash Speakers To Kickers...WOW!

    The Alpine has an Alpine logo on the middle dash speaker. I believe the base system also has a center dash grill, but no speaker inside. Find something plastic to wedge in and pop the cover off if you want to check.

    Amplifier Recommendation

    Doh, for some reason I thought the speakers were dual voice coil. I would then make the 2 ohm speakers to 4 ohm via wire connections, then drop down at the Amp. I think you said what I needed to hear. I don't totally blast the music anyway and figure at the moment the stock amp is driving...

    Amplifier Recommendation

    Hello, Just looking for some advice on Amp selection. I just ordered the Fox Acoustics Box (Sealed with 2, 10” Subs), and planning on buying 2 JL Audio 10W1v3’s 2 ohm Subwoofers. Would either of these 2 have enough power to adequately push these speakers in a sealed box? Alpine MRV-M500 Mono...

    Powered Sub

    I'd recommend you include the model of powered sub, and gauge of wire you ran to the battery. Did you run the speaker wires straight into the amp, or use a High-to-low level converter?

    Help upgrading speakers.

    Speaker configurations are different for the base, alpine, and HK systems. Like the rear 6x9s are a woofer on my Alpine and HK, but full range on a base system. I have 3 speakers on the dash, and the base only has 2. There are threads on people's upgrade, and you may want to find someone who...

    Help upgrading speakers.

    What stereo system do you have? People with the base system got a good improvement with changing the dash speakers. Check out Crutchfield.com where you can see what will fit.

    Sunscreen and window sensor sizes

    I changed out the 6x9s in the rear, and ordered another pair for the fronts. Speakers seem to sound better, but I just ordered a sub box. It will be a couple weeks before I see it. I have an idea on what amp I'm getting and speakers. It may be a while before I install everything.
