Alpine SPR-13S Type-R Component Speakers Alpine PDX-1.600 Mono subwoofer Amplifier Alpine SPR-69C 6x9 Type-R 2-way Speakers Alpine SWR-1242D 12" Type-R Series Subwoofer Alpine PDX-4.100 4 Channel Digital Amplifier Thinking of getting a Bassworx Box Sealed Not planning to get and extra battery or switch my altenator. Im really focusing on sound quality over loudness. Also is there any cons in getting the v power series amps instead or these new ones just to cut cost. 2004 Pontiac Grand Am Motormaster 72 batt. Planning to order off of hookedontronics.com |

You may also want to call AutoZone or similar to see waht the largest alternator is that they can get for your grand am. Then consider doing a straight swap with a core exchange to have some more juice for those amplifiers. without rear fill, you can bridge that 4 channel amp and put more power to the front stage, or you can run a fully active front stage (2-way) if you have the signal processor to handle that. that's what I'd do anyway. here's some info on rear fill, and why you want to avoid using it: http://www.glasswolf.net/papers/rearfill.html |

The 6x9s are up to you. I'm just not a fan of using rear fill unless you plan to have people in the back seats who want to hear the radio, too. |
