My Audio is in an 04' Grand Am (4 door) I have multiple questions as I am in the process of building it, so any additional help, or suggestions would be great!
H.U. Alpine CDA-9887
EQ: I have no EQ! I am aware that my Alpine is compatable with Imprint. Should I buy the software, or should I look into getting another External EQ?
Front Stage: DLS UP5i's. Love these little guys, Much more natural soundin than my pevious Boston Pro's. Mids are flush mounted in stock locations (bottom right of panel) My tweets are tucked in by each side mirror angling towards dome light. Door panel, and inside of door panel are deadened wit Dynamat.
Amp(s) : Memphis MCA3004. It is a 4 Channel Amp that puts out 75 RMS @ 4 ohms per channel. Currently I have it bridged into 2 Channel mode and running my DLS with it. My DLS rate at 150 RMS and I am throwing 230 RMS to each split and they sound flawless! I do plan on getting a bigger 4 Channel Amplifier and running channels 1 and 2 for my front stage, and bridging channels 3 and 4 for a single subwoofer.
Rear Stage: This is personal but I do not plan or wish to buy rear speakers. You truly hear 90 % of the music up front, so why waste my money on rear speakers. Ha I dont sit back there when I drive.
Subwoofer(s) I have a 12" Boston G3 in a ported enclosure. I want to sell this, and get something new. I know for a clean sounding woofer like this, why would i dare sell it? Well I value my trunk space, and I do not wish to drop over a grand on Dynamat cuz everything rattles in grand ams!!!!! Its annoiying as hell! I was thinking about dropping a single subwoofer in my rear deck? I planned on maybe running a single 8" and dynamating the rear deck and fabricating something to place over the rrest of my rear deck. When my car gets sold, I am placing everything stock back in it, n swappin my audio system out! Now, should I build a box underneath the deck, or can I just run a subwoofer ffree air? I was thinking about running an ID8" possibly a 10" Hell mayb a JBL GTO 8" I am aware tthat whomever took 1st place in the SQ round at EMMA or Iasca Spring Break Nationals? ...ha yeah i know, the subwoofer doesnt make the SQ its the tuning, imaging etc etc. Anyways...suggestions?????????
