need feedback on alpine SPR-69LP rear speakers...

Well, the rear speakers i currently have for the rears are made only for the mids and highs, not the lows, I want more bass. Has anyone had any experience with these speakers, in their 91 max? How are the lows,hows the bass response?

-What about these kenwood speakers, feedback is also appreciated. By the way, I'm a total newbie on this audio stuff. If i have to replace my current rear speakers to achieve more bass to what like the bose rear speakers had, but without using the bose speakers then i probably would, since replacing the rear speakers is pretty easy. I dont wanna get a sub because i know nothing about wiring amps, removing the carpet, which wires to get, how to install it...etc.

Well if you're wanting some bass... I would suggest these Memphis Car Audio
They put out a lot of bass... especially the M-Class component sets.

I do a lot of stereo work and love Memphis's stuff.

Also, try posting in the audio/electronics section. There's a lot of people there with more knowledge on those speakers.

I can say alpine's speakers aren't the greatest.

I have a pair of 3-way Type R's in my max, and they sound pretty nice. Good bass, although they don't have a very low range. Nice, clear highs, too. My setup isn't the best example because they're only being powered by a 60w x 4 CD player, but I had a pair of Pioneer 6x9's hooked up the same way, and that had a little better bass to it. Like kcidmil said, though, the audio/electronics section would be more helpful.

Those of us who've installed stereo's started somewhere. Use this
opportunity to learn how to install an amp and subwoofer, trust me
it's easier than you think.

This was my first book on installation and helped me get over the fear,
"How to design and install car stereo" a beginners guide..

Never needed that... it just came naturally to me...

Btw... Memphis gives awesome lows... their highs aren't something to jump around about.... but they're good.

It's is pretty tough to get good bass from a coaxial speaker. Those kinds of speakers are for "compromising" when you just want to listen to something. They will sound decent and will be loud because of the tweeters in them.

The Alpines and Kenwoods aren't going to be spectacular, but they will improve your sound some.

If you want bass, save up for and amp and subwoofer with an enclosure. It doesn't have to be something monster, just a single 10" sub in a good box and the right amount of power will satisfy most people.

Jbr8k is right about learning how to do install. Stereo stuff is pretty easy to learn and pretty straightforward for the most part. It is just time consuming. Putting in an amp and a sub would consist of:


-Disconnect battery
-Run a power source from the battery to the amp (with fuse)
-Run a remote lead from the HU to the amp
-Run a set of RCA cables from the HU to the amp (opposite side from remote and power)
-Make a ground from the amp to a good clean metal spot on the chassis somewhat close to the amp
-Run speaker wire to the sub

Now, the time consuming part is figuring out where to run the wires, but it isn't very hard.
