I have a 05 ZR Enth and I do not want to spend an arm and a leg so......

-Alpine MRV-F545 (use 3 ch)
-Alpine SWR 1041D Sub ( stock location in custom box)
- Alpine SPX177R (6.5 components in front)
-David navone line convertor from stock HU


let me know where I am going wrong, and do not say do not keep stock HU

thanks

 

If I were you I would go ahead and spend a little extra money on a decent alpine headunit. It will sound a hell of alot better than a line converter and the stock HU especially if you are going to hook componets to it. You can get a good HU for around 200 from crutchfield with everything you need to install it.

What I would do if I were you....

HU:
Alpine CDE-9845

The sub you have listed is nice.

Amps:
Alpine MRP-M350 to run the sub
Infinity Reference 7520a (or some equivalent 2ch) to run componets

As far as componets, Ive heard the spx alpines and they are way too harsh for my ears, but its all opinion anyways. Regardless of what you get though, I would run the fronts off of whatever two channel amp you get and run the rears off the HU for fill.

I always recommend a seperate amp to run a sub off of. Its usually about the same price as it would be for one multichannel amp and sounds alot cleaner IMO.

my .02 cents

 

oh sorry, I missed the last line.

why are you set on keeping the stock HU?

 

every car i ave ever ownd i have had my after market hu was stolen, 4 to be exact... so i was goin to use the3 channels from the mrv 545 75rms to the fronts each and 300rms to the sub no hu cause sick of **** getting stolen

 

then it sounds like your first purchase should be an ALARM!! Just kidding, +1 on upgrading the HU. Bama350zMD
