I am about to part out my system because I really need my trunk space. I will plan to upgrade my stock speakers and sub. Was wondering what setup are you running on the door speakers and the amps. Plus if anyone using a aftermarket free air sub for the rear deck. The Alpine Type Rs sounds great but I don't know if I go with the coxials or components.

 

A good set of components can't be beat... but it really all depends on your budget more than anything...

 

forget the free air get a pioneer ts-sw1241d 12" (so its bigger than the factory 10") can be fit in oem location and a shallow flat box made for it. thats what im in the process of doing. im running diamond audio on all my components with a eclipse amp and a pioneer amp

 

Boston Acoustic SL65 and SL60 (with speaker adapters), Rockford Power Amps.

 

same question as OP. All these threads about wheels/tires and sound system thread gets 3 replies...c'mon guys. i know some of you have killer systems. Share the info.

 

I am running Polk DB6501s in the front and DLS Classics in the rear that have to be replaced. 2 12" Alpine Type R's in the trunk in a sealed 3 cube box.

 

I'm using Focal 165 VR kit in the front, 165 CVX kit in the rear doors and a 27V2 subwoofer in replacement of factory

Denis.

 

Stock speakers are good and I have a 10" soundstream.

But if I upgrade in the future I would go for Boston Acoustic for speakers and JL for subwoofer/s.

 

Part of the reason could be that these are things that have been talked about numerous times. Searching is your friend

 

i have been searching for these past few days but i can find anything solid or close related to my situation(stock Nav w/ML). I remember someone here had another headunit setpu right underneath the nav screen but i cant find it.

My ML amp went out so I have no sound. What are my options here? I dont think i want a new ML amp since they got for $300+ at dealer. So I want aftermarket amp and speaker, but will i be able to keep my Nav screen controls?

 

If MLs are like Nakamichi, then I think you can adapt just about any 5 channel amp. However; $300 is not bad for a plug and play amp. If you try a different amp, you will need to splice and find out the wiring layout for the ML system.

 

after dropping by some audio shops they gave me 2 options - get another ML amp or make a complete new system(new HU, amps and speakers). I really hope they were kidding. I've PMed some member who as i find out had ran aftermarket amps to their ML, but no replies yet.

Can someone chime in?! i need my tunes back.

 

Heres my set up. a stock navagaton head unit with JL Cleansweep CL441 dsp,for door speakers.Alpine sps171a 6.5 compont power by alpine mrpf 250 amp. for bass a 12" JL Audio W7 in a seal box power by JL Audio 1000/1 amp.upgrade to optima battery with impulse 3.0 cap.

 

ok i like the 1st pic.... looks good hidden behind that, but whats up with the arm rest cut out in the back and is someone colorblind or am i? box doesnt even come close to matching trunk BUT all in all good setup. oh and i woulda disgusied the dynamat more but atleast u did it most people dont bother
