Hey for the people out there who have replaced their stock headunit with a new aftermarket one, how did you like the performance after?
I'm installing my Alpine CDA-9811 and just want to make sure i am going the right route.

I wasn't really happy with my performance until I bought a speaker amp to drive my fronts and rears

hmm, you have the ls without the tweeters, 6x9s, or the woofer, good feedback, thanks man, anyone with the an ss have an aftermarket headunit?

Xavipheus

....Except that I replaced all my speakers and installed a sub before getting the new head unit. ::Face_plain::

streetracinazian

hmmm, interesting, i'm keeping my stock tweeters, maybe, BIG maybe if i replace my
6x9s cuz i don't know if they are full range or woofers only. so basically my alpine amp, my alpine sub, and my alpine headunit, with the other equipped pioneer sounds.

Xavipheus

What do you have the stock Pioneer setup? Are you gonna push an Alpine amp on those? There decent speakers but cant handle any power, I don't care how many Pioneer logos are on there, there just plain paper crap speakers. If your going to put in an amp, replace the speakers.


BTW. All Balts use 6x9....Yes, even the base models have...gasp...rear speakers.

haha base models got some style for 6x9s then 8) i'm only using my amp for the sub.

check the ohm on your stock speakers... not sure on the base but for the ss/sc its 2 ohm and it would fry a head unit

streetracinazian

iTrader: (3)

changed the headunit and it's doing good so far

the stock ss has 2 ohm speakers, what if i put in my 4 ohm alpine type-s 6x9s?

EmperorJJ1

iTrader: (5)

ehh i wouldnt run it like that for long... most headunits are internally bridged to 4ohm so running them at 2 ohm is not good. If you change to 4 ohm aftermarket then it should sound alot clearer but it probably wont be louder (if it is then it would need to be a very efficient speaker)

streetracinazian

iTrader: (3)

hmmm, do you think i should try it? what's my risk of doing it do ya think?
as for efficient, here is it's Sensitivity: 92 dB/W/m

emperorjj1 thanks for your input man, it helps alot bro

EmperorJJ1

iTrader: (5)

your risk for what? running 4 ohm speakers?

CadetLax13

you can run an aftermarket headunit with the stock pioneer system just fine. hook up amp turn on to turn on the stock amp and you will be good to go. i been running my Z1 for over a year and its fine.

streetracinazian

iTrader: (3)

yes, do you think i should switch the pioneer 2ohms out for my alpine type-s 6x9s that are 4ohms?

CadetLax13

I would replace the stock speakers not bc of the 2ohm but bc the alpine are better speakers then the stock ones. but you will be fine running your headunit with the pioneer speakers

streetracinazian

saweeet, cuz i LOVE my pioneer tweeters up front, and i figured, hmmm maybe i can switch out my alpine 6x9s and get some major sound upgrading

CadetLax13

if you wanted you could get component speakers for the fronts which would replace the woofer and the tweeters. It would really upgrade your sound

I have some nice Rockfords in the back ... and some Infinity's in the front. Couldn't be happier with the sound.

EmperorJJ1

i agree with componants

streetracinazian

iTrader: (3)

i want the alpine component type-r's but i'd have to amplify them wouldn't i?

CadetLax13

a 4ch amp is always a good thing...but the stock amp should power them but a better matched amp will bring the speakers to life

streetracinazian

iTrader: (3)

cuz i have an alpine v-power 4 channel mrp-f240 amp if i wanted to power speakers, but the wiring would probably drive me crazy up the wazoo haha. =)
