Brutus 1605D vs. Crossfire VR1000D

that could make things easier so you could just use that for your output to your amp and not use the factory sub your set up will be loud and when you upgrade your H/U  it will be even louder you should think about this geting a /H/U that plays dvds then you can still use your screen there is a soundstream H/U that has all the outputs to do that and you can get that  for like $260 from a dealer i know and that will save you some cash what you would spend on an alpine H/U and a sperate dvd would be well over that1974 ford pinto 4 15" punch Z power punch bd 1001 pioneer DEH-6700

well im glad to know that that will work ok...i know my system will be louder if i get an aftermarket head unit, but i just dont have the money for that right now.  and i kind of like the 6 disc in-dash changer.  i think this system should be loud enough that i wont even want it any louder, but if it isnt then i will definitely look into an aftermarket head unit.  i'll be sure to check out that soundstream as well...i didnt even know that they made head units

soundstream has a very nice product line this year check it out www.soundstream.com and i think staying with the stock H/U is a good idea you may want to upgrade your front mains if you find when everything is hooked up and tuned that the bass over powers everthing else i put to 2 15" punch HE's with a amp thats about 600rms in an explorer with al the stock stuff and i had to turn the bass all the way down and the volume al the way up to  hear the words you can get some front speakers at www.ikesound.com for like 20 to 60 bucks 1974 ford pinto 4 15" punch Z power punch bd 1001 pioneer DEH-6700

would you happen to know off the top of your head what size speakers the explorer has?  i can check, but im at work right now.

their 5x7's you can get the alpine type S 5x7's for $50  or the type R 's for $78 at  that web site1974 ford pinto 4 15" punch Z power punch bd 1001 pioneer DEH-6700

would you recommend the alpines?  or something else?  keep in mind i still have the stock head unit...dont know if that makes a difference or not

your stock H/U is going to a factory amp for the price i would go with the type R 5x7s  i think alpine  H/U are crap for the money but i like the amps subs and speakers their is other 5x7's starting at $45 a set at ikesound 1974 ford pinto 4 15" punch Z power punch bd 1001 pioneer DEH-6700

alright sounds good.  ive always been a fan of alpine myself.  i will definitely look into the 5x7's if i need to

don't forget to check that web site before you buy retail  and i found this site for alternaters www.highoutputalternaters.com if you need one i think you can get buy with a kinetik battery but you never know untel it's installed  did you look at www.ikesound.com its so cheep it's like it's stolen ??1974 ford pinto 4 15" punch Z power punch bd 1001 pioneer DEH-6700

yeh that kinda worries me.  im always kinda suspicious when stuff is so cheap and the website doesnt look professional, but people have used it before and not had any problems, so i think i'll trust it haha
