i was looking for someone that has done it allready.. so they might give me a heads up on the problems they ran into, such as the way the wire were run from the factory, any funky australian conectors, or interior clips,ect ??? if adding a new amp and speakers signifigently helped ??sometimes the problem is in the head unit????
i gutted my interior of my gto 4 times 2 with the black gto one time install 1 time deinstall after it got totaled 1 time with install on the silver gto and after i swaped interiors,not a diffcult task the door speakers trim out the rear plastic half moon use the oem plastic piece the quarder panel speakers are easy as well the rear deck speakers are a pain to get out need a itty bitty screw driver as for the connectors i never really looked i ran all new wires to all my stuff alpine components are awsome, :cool
i have 2 pairs of JL xr650csi for the gto..i am going to try to keep the stock head unit ???not sure on the amp?? i have a few laying around... :cheers
not many amps can handle that kind of load. Orion is known for it and my amp in particular was banned from IASCA competition because you could enter the 0-50 watt class and actually put out 400! Hence them naming it the cheater amp.
Of course, you dont really NEED a 4 channel amp as with the right wiring, you can run an entire system off a 2 channel amp and all you lose is front to rear fading...
nope, I scored a 34 out of a possible 40 with that amp, and had this one sole amp running 22 speakers. It also did a best of 142db in a sound-off. Sounded better than the factory system, never overheated, and I wired the entire thing myself.
as you wish, just wanted to make sure you knew all the options available to you.
