I have spent the last few hours reading and I'm more confused than ever.
All I want is better sound, not at all impressed with the Alpine system that came in my Longhorn. Not looking to vibrate the car next to me, I have played with the settings and just not happy with the sound.
I thought maybe I could just swap out the four doors for new speakers but every pair I look at Crutchfield says:
Replacing the 1- or 2-ohm factory speaker with a higher-impedance aftermarket speaker will result in lower volume levels.
This stereo is not all that powerful already, just how much will it reduce the volume by?
Definitely not going to replace the head unit and really do not want to start adding amps, just want better sound. I can't be the only one.
Has anyone with the Alpine "only" replaced speakers?
Thanks!!!
