Upgrading my Alpine System!

[pjlietz]

Hey all,

Just place my final order for upgrading my Alpine system. I will be pulling the stock sub and puting in a fox box. It will hold 2 Alpine Type -R 10inch subs (SWR-1043D). Each sub will be run by it's own Alpine MRP-M500 @ 500w rms. The feed will come from an Audio Control LC2i, from the old sub connection and split to the 2 amps.

I'm so stoked I can't wait. Will post install and finished pics soon!

Cool. I don't enjoy my oem alpine system very much. I mean it OK but that's about it.

I agree I feel the infinity is far better stock. This is the first time I have had a vehicle without Infinity or Bose as the premium sound. The other two were just far better. I don't know why dodge has had so many options last few years. I have Boston, Kicker, Alpine, Infinity and of course non branded OEM.

I actually think the stock alpine system isn't to bad but it is lacking for sure. I think the subs will make a ton of difference with that. I was thinking of doing the 6x9's as well and like the looks of these, Alpine SPR-69 6" x 9" Coaxial Speakers but it says they wont fit? Any ideas why? I may try to buy locally for easy return if needed.

The only things left then will be the 3 1/2's up front but it doesn't look like alpine has anything. Also I want to open up the top speakers to see whats in there. I might replace them all with tweeters and just be done with it.

I too wonder about these Alpine 6x9's from what I can tell their mounting depth would work, I wonder how they sound.

So i have my Amp's, Sub's, LOC in! Will get pic's asap. Just waiting for the fox box now Any one know how long they take to ship? It has been siting at processing for over a week now. I emailed them but no reply.

Anyhow after looking at the amps and placement I have decided to mount them, the LOC and the Capacitor to the back wall behind the rear seats. Is there a guide to remove the rear seat back anywhere?

Gettin Stoked! Can't wait to hear some good Bass again!

Dude you are in the same shoes as me but I haven't ordered the fox box yet/:

 

[pjlietz]

Well I hope you order time is faster then mine lol... I ordered and paid for mine on the 7th and it still says processing... Emailed them with no reply still...

I hate waiting lol.

Sorry for the double post.

Well I finally got a tracking number for my box yesterday so I started my install today. My plan was to install a piece of MDF and wrap it in carpet then install on that, however I don't think there would have been enough room. So I ended up mounting on to the carpet that was there and screwing in to parts of the sub body when needed.

Well as promised here are a few pic's to get started. Sorry they are crappy cell phone pic's. I hope to have the finished , and better, ones with in a week













That's it for now. Hope to have it done soon.

Thanks.

2 questions,
1- does the carpet have to pulled out for the fox box to go in.
2- does it matter which battery I hook up to on my diesel?

Thanks!
