Complete 02 WS6 ICE overhaul hey guys. its been a while...
im always on here lurking, but figured it was time to post.
im about to start ripping my entire car to shreds and just figured id ask you guys if my setup looked like everything would work out...
HU: Eclipse CD5100HU, 3 preouts, 3chan. parametric eq. ect. nav. pretty nice unit. 220dollars
Speakers:
POWER: 4 channel alpine amp. 50wRMS, 75wRMS@2ohms. powering front and rear 100 dollars
Front: Alpine Type S 6.5 coax speakers. (already own) only thing im worryied about is mounting depth? will that be okay? 100 dollars
Rear: JBL GTO 4200? idk 4" speakers. replace rear stockers 25 dollars
Sail panel: plan to order some BAzookas from KEE and use the stock amp to power them. DO YOU GUYS think that the stock amp will be able to move the Zookas enough to keep up with the aftermarket amp? ~120 dollars
Low end power:
AMP: alpine MRD-M1001 total DSP processing amp. 1000wRMS, 1800max@2ohms. 270dollars
SUB: Alpine Type X 10" @ 2 ohms... 200dollars
BOX: JL audio STealthbox, W3 removed for the X, cut out the fiberglass hole so the X will fit. 80 dollars
wiring: 3 runs of RCAs, amp remote turn on, 2 runs of speaker wire to front speakers from 4 channel amp, 2 runs to rear, 2 runs of 14 gauge from sub amp to sub box
all powered by 1/0 gauge welding wire, distribution curtosey of Streetwires power block. grounded with 1/0 gauge. 120-150 dollars
Battery: optima yellow top ? price amount.
total cost is around 1400 dollars if i DIY.
i plan on powering everything but the rear tweeters and the sail panel subs with something other than the stock Monsoon unit.
but yeah. i was just throwing out specs to see what you guys thought. if it seemed okay, little rocky.., maybe will sound good. lol
just looking for some opinions.
thx
ps. complete top end swap is comming soon
EDIT: i forgot the only problem with my build. i cant find a harness for aftermarket deck ANYWHERE online. a little help would be great

Dont run the sail panels off the stock amp, thats gonna be a waste. Use your amp to power your front speakers and sail panels and use the stock amp for the rears. The rear speakers are just for fill anyway, you wont notice a difference. Alot of people just unplug them

so your saying to power the sail panels at 50wRMS? and leave the rear speakers on stock amp power?
okay.... but if i do that id have to switch to some Elemental Design speakers right? somehow i dont trust bazooka subs to that much power at 2ohms. lol.
and i finally did find a harness. Crutchfield has everything
and for running on stock alternator at an added 1300wRMS, is an upgrade NEEDED? or can i just run an optima and watch my voltage gauge close?
thx for your help guys. ill be sure to post pics of it when its all said and done.
