Hey Guys!!
Just wanted to ask what size are the standard speakers in the DC5R?
I was looking at putting an Alpine sound system in my car, anyone got any comments or recommendations. I was looking at the type R speakers. Does anyone know if they will fit?
Thanks
Umm installing a stereo in a DC5R is an absolute bitch, i would suggest geting a professional to do it. It might cost a bit but it will take you ages to do it yourself and there is a lot of mucking around involved.
i got quoted $1,300 for alpine Type R front splits, rear 6 by 9, amp and full install including my headunit...it that a good price?
only a noob will pay for install unless u instal custom boot and shit
All you want is two sets of splits and a 10inch sub..... 6 by 9's are pretty useless in my opinion....
Get the new Alpine DDR splits, i think they are about 500 a pair.
Focal Poly K's up front with a 10" Poly-k sub. Now that would be nice!
Do a search on clubrsx audio section.. plenty of hits and tips for installation.. I installed the head unit/amp/front speaker and all the wiring myself.
Its pretty easy the only pain in the arse was installing the headunit, because of the plastic panle u have to remove where the cigerett lighter is took me a while. And the rubber lumb in the firewall it was fun getting 4 guage wire through that. I put alpine type r stuff in mine it was good
if ur running subs in ur car, dnt bother geting 6 by 9s or 7 by 10s, they will be useless coz u already hav the subs for base. Settle for different spreakers.
really i cant be bothered installed the stuff...i havent really had much luck in terms of doing DIY installed...hahhaa....so i think i will leave it to the experts
but...yeah...i dont like subbies....so i was thinking of going splits....and rears, and with a amp with plenty of power to run with....but still dunno wat rears to get...coz i want good bass....but i dont think i can fit 6x9 in original housing.....anyone know for sure??
so you guys thing TYPE R range from Alpine is the go???
On a DC5R, forget about fitting a 6x9.. as you suggested it'll be alot of trouble.
DC5 uses 6.5" speakers all around.Quote:
