I'm just the opposite and would love to be done and satisfied the first time.

Alpine PDX 4.150-ch1/2 on Alpine SPX-177R, blown rt tweeter
ch3/4 were bridged but available now

Arc 1500xxk
2 IDQ12

Once I decide what to do with ch 3/4 on the pdx and what to do about the blown tweet, good sound, bad or no sound I'm done ......for the moment...

 

Well what I'm doing I think is using all 4 channels on my amp (I have the MRV-F545- the old version of the PDX) to run my components 'actively.' A new discovery for me since joining this forum... depending on your deck/crossover options, you run your mids off channels 1 and 2 and your tweeters off channels 3 and 4, and don't use the crossovers that came with the components. I started a thread on it that should be close to the top of the page- check it out if you're interested. The Premiers should sound pretty sweet with this setup. What do you think you're gonna go with? Replace the Alpines with the new Type X or try out the Premiers? I don't think you'll be disappointed either way...

 

Look Down. Beautiful Setup. Clean as hell. Gorgeous imaging and couldnt ask for more. Other than maybe a couple Zapco amps....

 

do you have pix of your set up?

 

If your not going to amplify the speakers go with the Boston's S85. I have the same setup with my Z2 and it sounds wonderful. I didnt amplify my door speakers, I let the Z2 power them. The only amp I have is for my sub. If I remember correctly the Z2 RMS is 15-17 watts RMS and the S85 can only handle 30RMS. This makes you close (not close enough) but closer to 30RMS (BA S85) than it would if you bought speakers with a 60 watts RMS. All in all you will love the S85's. Great sounding speakers. While you at it change the rears also.

 

i have a 2007 Supercab and just out of curiosity, who here knows the maximum mounting depth for the front doors as far as a 6.5" driver goes?

these look like some nice drivers but the mounting depth is 3.65″!

 

they'll fit

 

last i check audiopulse is no more......they were made by TC Sounds and now TC Sounds has gone bankrupt and they sold off all there existing baskets surrounds slugs everything needed to make anything audiopulse sorry.......

 

Woah!!! Back from the dead on this one.

Ya, I have pics. Just go to F150online.com/galleries and search for Low_E_red. Under the audio section. You will see my halfassed installs.

 

i have two sets of 6.5 alpine type r in the front come with 5x7 plate to mount them i got both pairs on ebay for around 200$.
