System BreakDown

Two 10" Memphis Subs
400 W Amp
2 Memphis Component Speakers up front
2 additional Tweeters
2 Coax Memphis speakers in the rear
SWIX
XM with the antenna in the brake light
DD conversion
and of course Alpine CDA 9855



Total was around 3k

 

i see ur subs face upward under the rear deck but
will it make alot of vibration noise when the subs are hittin hard?

 

awesome setup! so, does SWIX allow you to use the steering wheel controls to control your new alpine stereo?

 

wow.. very cool... SA always does good work..

E lin

 

They put some sound deadening in the car so killed a lot of the vibrations. Only on certain songs will you hear any sort of rattle, but it is that often,,

Do you think they should have installed them in a different way?

Codeflux-- As far as the SWIX -- Yup, I can control the Alpine with the SW controls. It is great. In fact I had they reprogram the power button to be my mute button because I never turn the radio off.

The ony drawback is that you loose the "up and hold" option of the SW control. ( IE station preset change, CD change)..The swix just reads it as "up" (IE CD track up or next sation). That said, it beats loosing the controls all together

 

i did this too!

fyi: ALL the buttons get "reprogrammed", you could program any button to do anything you want...

 

Thanks for the post Gary.

The amp is a 5 Channel Memphis Belle hybrid amp. It has a 4 x 55 watt AB class and a 400 watt D class built into it. Very cool amp, total wattage is over 600 watts. Since this car did not have the premium option (no 6x9s in the rear deck) we cut out holes for the subs to play thru the rear deck and off the glass for better SQ. Deadening was also added for vibration on the metal. The extra set of tweeters were also added for better imaging up front. The Alpine 9855 sounds phenominal in this car.

 

the sound advice in mission V? They are kickass guys down there. They did my GMC and I love it. When I get some extra cash they are gonna re-do the system in my boat.

 

Yes it is, and thanks for the kind words. Can't wait to see your boat in here. Memphis just came out with some great new marine equipment.
