Components

Hey, dunno if the title has put some of you off but, i bought an alpine mrp t220 amp (250watt max) powering some 6x9's in my mk2b punto they sound much clearer now. However i have some infinity reference 16.5 coaxial door speakers which i have just realised will not keep up to the 6x9's as they run off the head unit. Rather than getting another amp for the door speakers i have been looking at the idea of components, does any body know a guide on the forum or web page giving step by step guide to fitting components, or what they feel they would do instead?

I have seen these components but dunno if they would fit in the space http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/pro...s_id/3522.html any ideas

I'm not sure whether they'd fit into a Punto - that really is a question for the Punto guys to answer, but I got a feeling they would fit

I feel just fitting components alone will not get the results you're after. I would buy and amp the components. And personally, I would ditch the 6x9s, but each to their own

cheers, il see what happens and if anyone else can help. thanks chaos il let u know what i do, im still looking for a guide on wiring components

Wiring them in is child's play Dead simple

They will fit in the doors, but only with an adaptor. I know this, as these are the same speakers I have. Well, mine are the type S, but the only difference I can see is 20W RMS of power. They are awesome speakers, but I would recommend amping them up to get their full potential. If you need a hand installing them drop me a PM

Thanks H2Dae, if i was to run another amp this would draw more current from my 425amp battery im already powering 3 amps so could be a second battery required i think. would they be ok to start without an amp at first or would it not sound as good

Try running the components off the amp and power the 6x9 from the h/u

That sounds a pretty decent idea, but before my 6x9s were amped sounded fine and the door speakers were starting to distort so would the 6x9's now distort instead of the components?

I am powering 2 x mono blocks, and 2 x 4ch amps and other bits and bobs on a standard punto battery with very little trouble.

I do carry a stand bye battery behind the passenger seat just in case though

as a second battery? or ready to replace the old one?

Just to jump start the car if the other dies,still got to get around to set it up on trickle charge so I will have 2 permanently in the car. Not that I have had to use it for that yet as long as I only use the system when the engine is going do not seem to have to much of a problem.

I am have the infinity reference 17cm component speaker set coming soon, orderd a set off of ebay the other night - they are very very good, and i have been recommended to amp them by chaos as well as other with the same - you have chosen well!

I can't recommend amping up components enough now that i've done mine. Make sure your amp has a high pass filter (i assume most do) and they will be the perfect compliment to the sub/s you have. If it was my car I'd do away with the 6x9's altogether (I know Chaos will agree with me ) but it's all down to your personal preference

*Edit* just seen what amp you have for your 6x9's, its the same as mine, superb amp

Oh yeah
