Good morning all! I believe that I have read every post in this group regarding stereo upgrades! As usual, this makes me question my plan more and more! We once had an Escalade with the Bose system and the "spacious" mode was very pleasant.
I have a 2022 GT/CS convertible with the 9 speaker system. I'm in my mid 50s and have some hearing loss.
I plan to use the factory amp and add a mono amp and sub.
In my cart I have:
Rockford Fosgate R165-S components for the A pillars and lower doors
Rockford Fosgate P132 3.5" 2 way for the upper doors
Rockford Fosgate R1675x2 2 way for the rear side panels
My questions--
Crutchfield says some of these won't fit but others say they do. Is this a problem?
Any negatives to the RF equipment?
Will all these tweeters negatively impact the sound?
Should I eliminate the tweeters in the upper door or leave them?
Would Infinity Reference REF 375TX that can pivot in their housing be more desirable tweeters?
If I switch to these should I change the upper door speakers and rears as well?
For the sub setup I have chosen the Audiocontrol ACM 1 300 with the plug and play harness. It seems to offer 300 watts @ 2 ohms and has great reviews.
I plan to either snag a B&O box and replace the sub or try to build a fiberglass one. If I build I would like to squeeze a shallow 12" in there and am looking at the Polk DV 1242 DVC (1.25 cf box) that has great reviews or the JBL club WS1200 (.75 cf box). Both appear to work well in a smaller enclosure. BTW does anyone know what size the DYI fiberglass ends up being?
