I am looking for some assistance with questions for a 2016 Alpine premium speaker upgrade. I was originally looking to only replace the dash and front/rear door speakers with Infintiy Reference. But after reading through the forums, everyone seems just so so with that solution due to the factory amps. I have now gone down the rabbit hole and am considering going to a better speaker and adding amps (and maybe change out the sub in the factory enclosure to a Audiomobile EVO 2408 D4 High-Performance 8" and amping that. I have several questions though. I have done a lot of home theater but just can't seem to wrap my head around some of the car audio stuff. As well, the closest stereo shop is an hour away so can't go pick their brains very easly.
How do you power 4 door speakers and 2 in dash tweeters from a 4 channel amp? I am thinking that I must get 6x9 components for the doors and then use the tweeters in the dash.
Do you just abandon the dash center channel or is it still used on the factory amp?
Do you abandon the rear ceiling speakers or is it still used on the factory amp?
I read that the factory speakers are already crossed over. How do I get full range from new ones?
Any wiring harness that is needed?
Anything I am missing?
Speakers considered:
Focal ISU 690
Kicker 47KSS6904
Infinity Reference REF-9630cx
Amps I am considering are:
Kicker 47KEY200.4 for speakers
Kicker 47KEY500.1 for sub
Any recomendation on speakers/amps is greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone for any assistance.
