New guy from NE. Hi all!
I played with some installs in days gone by in my own commuter cars/trucks. Dabbling only. For a number of years I haven't done it. Too busy with everything else, and frankly, didn't have fun cars either, lol. Two years ago I bought a slightly used CPO Ram 1500 quad cab 4x4, and plan on keeping it for a number of years, so... Its time to upgrade!
I'm building this system with a budget in mind. I'm also building it for my own musical enjoyment. No SPL competitions, just fairly accurate sound with enough power to give me the dynamic range I'm looking for. Here is my plan so far:
Head unit - Pioneer AVH-1440NEX DVD, Apple car play, Bluetooth, 3 sets of 4v preamps. Pretty much anything I need.
Speakers: JBL GX-302's in the dash corners. These will have bass blockers and run off of HU power. Mostly there for forward soundstage fill as midrange/tweeter. Infinity REF6520CX 6.5" components in front. Thinking of mounting the tweets on the sail panels of the doors and try to put the X-overs behind the kick panels. Rear door speakers - Infinity REF-9623ix 6x9 3 way.
Amp is a Pioneer GM-D96905 5 channel. Sub is an Alpine Type S dual voice coil 12" which will be located under the seat in sealed enclosure (I prefer tight accurate bass over boom). Sub should get all 600w of RMS since I'm running it in parallel as a 2 ohm load. The Infinity speakers are 3 ohm, so I expect the 4 channel output to be in the upper 80's, maybe 90w RMS per channel.
That's all for now. When I start the install, I'll see about maybe doing a full log with some pics. Have fun all!
