It's probably been covered but,..

I can't find it. I want to upgrade the sound in my 15 cc lone star without alpine. I have the 8" screen with nav, which is nice and I don't want to spend 3k on the alpine replacement. My question is do alpine type r 6x9's fit in the rear doors? My idea is 6.5 type r components in the front doors, dash speakers disconnected. Type r 6x9's in rear doors, 10" type r in fox box ported drivers side box powered by a pdx-v9. Now, connection issue, jl clean sweep or audio control? Do I still need an in line equalizer with either of those? Still brainstorming, nothing laid in stone yet.

Sorry if it's been covered. I've searched for days and yielded no luck, so please no "it's been covered just search" responses please.

The speakers should all fit fine. You will need a 6x9 adapter plate for the 6.5's, as I'm sure you know.

Im sure someone else can chime in on the best summing/OEM integration stuff. Personally, I have never been a fan of OEM headunits feeding aftermarket gear. Seems to be a lot of tweaking/additional equipment to get it to sound right. But with the 8 inch screen you will probably lose some functionality if you go for aftermarket nav. Fosgate also makes the 3sixty.3 which would work and JBL has the MS-8 which appears to be discontinued. Alpine makes one too PXA-H800.

technically you wouldnt need a summing device as the non alpine units are full signal from the head unit. but yes any device will work.

And I'm not stoked about it either. The limited amount of adjustment and the preinstalled eq are a huge turn off, however, the alpine replacement is far too expensive for my taste. I've never used a loc before, I've always had quality head units that were easily adjustable. My last truck I actually took out the driver side back seat and created a platform and bracket for a jl prowedge. Ended up cracking the backglass. Just hoping someone who has went this route before can chime in.

However, I would be stuck under stock eq. No adjustability has anyone use a clean sweep and then put an eq behind it preamp?

That right there is the only way I would use the clean sweep as I believe its made to flatten the signal from the stock head unit.

Is there a better way?

Basic 4ch LOC would work and I've been a fan of AC for awhile now with there bass eq functions.

Could you post links to what product you recommend please?

Factory System Upgrade - AudioControl
I've used the LC6 and LC7 with great results and also the LC2i when installing subs.

Pardon my ignorance, is the l2 and l6 the equivalent of the l7 for my purposes?

I'd use the lc6 as you don't need to summon

Okay so the non alpine hu doesn't reduce low feq levels with increased volume? Sorry for the million questions.

no, and you just have to make sure you dont have the speed control volume turned on either. you would adjust everything with the stock head unit all flat (mid, low, treb)

Okay awesome. I think I'll try the lci6 by itself. If im not pleased I'll look into a preamp eq. I think the system should thump.
