In the premium sound package the 2 subwoofers in the back are 8 inches right?
Does this mean any 8 inch subwoofersIfind will fit?


Has any one alse done this?

 

I upgraded fromJags basic sound to Premium https://www.jaguarforums.com/m_42905/tm.htm
The subs are only 6.5".
A few people on the .co.uk forum who have done the upgrade usedAlpineSPE-17CS - 6-1/2" Component 2-Way Speakers for the rear shelf and doors and were pleased with the results.

 

actually... i just realized i also have the alpine upgrade... and i dont beleive i have any bass...

 

[:@]hmmmm. Small *** speakers.
Im going to have to see what tweeter can do for me

 

Im looking into JL audio 6.5`s. EventuallyI will make it to tweeter and see what they have to say

 

Who is tweeter?

You have the stock system already with sub correct?

Why not go to an 8 like buck?

 

Make that 9
(4 door speakers,4 tweeters,1 x 10" sub)

 

Tweeter is stereo store....like sound advice.

 

i cannot complain with stock alpine speakers!

 

the stock sounds good for the first few months. I remember seeing people on hear talk about doing different upgrades to their systems and I thought "why it sounds fine" now, after about 6 months I found myself thinking "I wonder what type of speakers I should put in here?" LOL Funny how after a while everyone wants to upgrade the system. I have the regular system with the tweeters in the front doors.... Not sure what i will change but, i will cahnge something to make it sound better. any suggestions???

 

Whatever you have the money to spend on speakers! Otherwise everyone has their own preference!

Hey buck by 8 I thought you had an 8" sub. I forgot you had a 10.

 

I asked my installer to wire the aftermarket amp remote leads to my antennae. Comes on nice and easy now, and isn't on when the radio is off. I hate hearing that 'hissss' when I want it to be absolutely quiet! lol

 

Hey h20 did he try wiring to the fuse box? If so and that caused hiss I wonder why?

 

They wired directly to the battery Aq. The hiss is just the hum of the amp under voltage, you know what I mean...no alternator whine or anything, that was filtered out in the power wire - hiss with our without any signal being fed into it. When I turned off the radio...there it was. just sorta an annoying pet peeve is all. Off means off where I come from. lol

 

Hmmm...I actually am not sure what you speak of (I think your thinking I'm speaking of the actual power wire for the amp?) I think were talking of 2 different things??? I was talking about the remote wire (wire they wired to the antenna.)

Where was the hiss coming from originally?

 

The premium sound is great.
The premium alpine subwoofers are struggling. I am used to a 2,000 watt alpine type R from my last car, butI am not trying to throw a woofer,box,and amp in my trunk its too tacky. I want to increase the base from the stock subwoofer locations.

Tweeter is a sound store, there experts on installing custom soundsystems for mobile audio. but expensive$$$$$$. They will hopefully give me some ideas.

 

Well i don't have the alpine system with sub, so I'd take the subs apart and see what is going on. I can't remember whether the sub is dual voice coil or single? If I were you I'd look into kicker as they have some midbass 6.5 speakers that I've heard are really good. Me personally I'd figure out some way to mount an 8 on that box and call it a day! Or even go nab one from a junk yard that has a ford escape/explorer/mustang or what not and somehow mount an 8 to the stock box, I'm sure it can be done with a little ingenuity!

 

One 8 would be perfect. I am definately going to ask them if that would be a possibility. A JL w3 8" would definately do the trick.

 

Look into a re audio RE 8" sub! You can get them cheap! I'm going to Michigan on the 11th of June if you want one let me know before than and I'll see if the supplier I get stuff from has any. Last I checked they were sold out and didn't know if they were going to get some more. Get 2 of em on ebay shipped for 130 so it's a pretty good deal. Put a jl w0 in my bros explorer sport trac in the stock sub box and it's alright but not worth the 100+bucks they get for em!
