I have read tons of posts on the subject, but the answers I am looking for are burried and all over the place. Firstly; I have the 9 speaker alpine system. For reference only my front driver dash speaker was the only positive polarity 3.5" in the system. I have made them all positive now.
I recently replaced all the stock 3.5"s with JBL GX302s. I hate these things. They are way to shrill and tinny. I have moved fader to the back 3 spaces, and on the eq moved the mids down to -3 and treb to -4 just to listed to it. Has anyone else had this issue? I am trying to figure out how to rectify it. I would try a different speaker brand but that would modify the ohm rating to much. The JBLs are 2.3 ohm and the closest to factory I could find. At this point I was debating throwing a extra 1 ohm resistor on it to calm them down, but I still don't think that would be enough. Maybe try the JL audios?
This brings me to my second issue. I have a musical ear and have had fairly high end standards. Every vehicle I've owned for the last 20+ years has had a system in it. I thought the upgraded one might have been enough, but its falling short.
I see there is a DSP1 that seems to be nice, but it looks to completely remove the factory amp and ANC. Theres also the Pac AMPPro that has less EQ features that allows me to retain factory amp and add my own on top. Are there any other ones out there I am not finding?
At this route, I'm looking to replace all speakers and add a sub. I figure I can probably tap into the factory speaker wiring for everything at the factory amp so I dont have to run a bunch of wires. I'll probably end up choosing one of the Foxacoustics boxes so I can use the bigger subs. https://www.foxacoustics.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=DCC-212-V-19. Anyone ever find an alternative box that can handle larger subs? I ran one of these and a pair of sundown sa-10s in my old ram. 2k w amp on them. Wasn't quite enough for me still...
