I have recently swapped out all 4 speakers in my truck not including the tweeters with some Infinity Reference 6022si's, and upon doing this I was very surprised with the sound, until I tried to get some base (not looking for a lot but at least a little bit, thinking one 10 inch sub max). As you know, the stock head unit doesn't have the power, therefore I have decided that I would like to add an amp.

 

I just have the stock system (no Bose) and am sticking with the stock head unit and still want to have all of the chimes. If I add an amp in the arm rest, and connect it with the PAC adapter, should I then run new speaker wires to all 4 door speakers and run provisional wires for a sub to be added later, or should I just run the wires to the sub and add it without worrying about amping the door speakers?

 

I have read through many of the discussions on this topic, and get lost somewhere among all of the technical jargon. Please let me know what would work best and not be impossible for me to do on my own.

 

Opinions on amps and subs is appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Everyone will have varying opinions on this. Mine is that I think you would be severely overpowering your speakers if you only amp'd a sub. If I were you I would amp them all. Get a 4 channel for your current Infinitys and then get a Class D mono for your sub. Again, you will probably get a lot of different opinions on this. Sometimes it just comes down to trial and error, or how much you want to spend. Both of my amps are Alpines and after I purchase my sub, all my speakers will be Polk. Good luck!

Thanks for the info NoLuck7! I think I may try to amp the speakers first and see if that gives me what I'm looking for, especially since I don't really want to have a sub in the way when I fold the seats up.

 

Just in case its not what completely what I want, can anyone else chime in so I can get a consensus?

      Post your UOA, (used oil analysis) here

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Here's the second UOA on my 22 Wrangler with the Ecodiesel. This has 5k miles on AMSOIL Signature Series DEO 5w-40. The first one was dealer installed oil, no clue what it was, the second is what AMSOIL recommended, European FS 5w-40, Most of the Ecodiesel world is showing great results using the European MS 5w-40, I figured I would see how the DEO works. This is using an Ecoguard oil filter. It's my understanding this engine likes to shed aluminum.  We will see. So far I don't think this is too bad.

      Disable DRL's

      By revmanii · Posted

      I'm surprised nobody seems to offer a solution like the start/stop device I put in my new truck. Remembers my setting when shutdown. And while it still starts up in start/stop, it stores/evaluates what mode it was in when shut down and will change it whithin a second or 2 of startup. It'd be nice to have something like that for the DRLs.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I will be doing that for sure, but I need to solve who has/ where I can find a bidirectional scan tool that will support OBD 1.5. I'm kicking myself because I ebay'ed a Snap On MT2500 that I didn't think I'd ever need anymore. D'oh!! I'd rather not buy another, so I'll contact a few local shops to see if they have one and how much they'd want to do the procedure. I'd rather have the ability to do it myself... I wish there was a modern tool that could do it all, but I'd have no idea what to buy.   The theory with the pulled timing is that it mimics a rich condition. The delayed spark causes incomplete burn and the O2 sensor picks up low oxygen levels. That's interpreted as a rich condition so the PCM pulls fuel and that shows up in the deeply negative fuel trims.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      An ultra wealthy man had the most beautiful daughter. But, there was a problem. Everything she touched would melt in her hands. No matter what, Metal, Wood, Stone. Anything she touched would melt. She could not feed herself. Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. Her father was despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? He consulted doctors, scientists and anybody who could solve this problem. Finally one of them said, "If your daughter touches one thing that does not melt in her hands, she will be cured." He was overjoyed and came up with a plan. The next day, he held a competition. Any man who could bring his daughter an object that would not melt in her hands would be given billions of dollars to marry her. Three extremely intelligent and handsome young men took up the challenge. The first brought a very heavy steel rod, But alas, when the she touched it, it completely melted in a matter of seconds. He sadly went away. The second brought a beautiful diamond, knowing diamonds were one of the hardest substance in the world and would not melt. But alas, once she held it in her hand, it melted. He too was sent away disappointed. So now, there was one left He was very nervous & sweating. He approached the daughter & said, “put your hand in my pants pocket and feel what is in there." She did exactly what he asked. She felt something very hard. She held it in her hand, squeezing it as hard as she could. It did not melt & remained extremely hard. Her father was overjoyed. Everybody was overjoyed. She was finally cured. Nothing never, ever melted in her hand again. They married and they both lived happily ever after, raising a wonderful family. Question: What was in the the groom’s pants pocket??? Answer below ↓ M&Ms of course! They melt in your mouth, not in your hand. What on earth were you thinking?
