newbie....just bought a kenwood KDC-MP828 that will be installing into a 2002 jeep liberty with 6 stock speakers. Was able to find directions for the head and looks easy to install. Can anyone tell me for next steps, will I get more bang for the buck going with a sub or replacing speakers. Price range $100-300, would like to install myself. Also are powered subs such as the audiobahn 8" or 10" any good? Any info on how to get to the 2 speakers in the front dash would be great. Thanks in advance.

At this point my only piece of advice is to stay away from any Audiobahn products.
As far as upgrading speakers or subs, you may want to first listen to how it sounds with the new deck, my guess is it will sound ok, and the simple addition of a sub will be a good complement to it.

Can you recommend a powered sub? Are Bazookas decent?

bazookas are pretty decent, what do you have available to you to actually listen to?
Infinity bass links are another decent powered setup.

I talked to some bozo at circuit city. He was pushing the audiobahn. He said the bazookas were not a good fit for my vehicle. I have always heard good things about the bazooka line. any ideas on how to get to the speakers in the dash?

Can anyone recommend a site or directions to remove the 2 front dash speakers in a 2002 Jeep liberty?

Not a good fit, you could put just about any enclosure in an suv, square, round, or oblong. You are right, that guy is a real bozo.

well i dont know what dwarrens problem is with audiobahn product i won 1st place at a local comp with 2 audiobahn 12" sub and a mtx 81000 d me and a friend of mine posed a full point higher than a van with 12 12" rockford hx 2 s that had an amp on each one i dont think a powered sub is the way to go i would buy 1 12" or 15" memphis and a small mono block amp a class d would be good so you dont have to upgrade you eletrical system to much the audiobahn entry level stuff is not the best but there mid and high end stuff is nice the 15" memphis retails for about 100 bucks you can also check out ikesound.com

I don't feel the need to defend my opinion about audiobahn. I simply suggested some other alternaitives to audiobahn.
Blowntweeters, you and everyone else are entitled to their own opinion, and I am glad that you have had good luck with audiobahn, however I feel there are better products on the market that may suit Jmeese's needs.

I'm installing a new kenwood deck into my 2002 jeef liberty. Got a wiring harness with unit. coming out of the stereo I have one red(power), one black(ground) and one yellow(battery) but the harness that connect to the existing car has two black and two yellow and one red wire. Do I hook all of the black wires together and all of the yellow wires together?

Do you have the whole harness that plugs into the factory harness too? or do you just have the wire harness that plugs into the cd player? If you only have the one that goes into the cd player, go to your local car audio shop tomorrow and get a wire harness for your vehicle.

I recently replaced the head unit in my 2002 jeep liberty with a kenwood KPC_MP828. Looking to replace the factory speakers but have some questions. I currently have 6 speakers 2 in the dash, 2 in front door and 2 in rear door. I am assuming that the head unit recognizes the front as the dash and front doors and the rear are considered the rear doors? Is this correct? I'm assuming that for replacement I would want to go with a component set for the front dash and doors. I am looking at the following 3 units. Can anyone make a recommendation between the three: Infinity 6000cs (90 rms watt, total 270 watts) $99 boston acustic FSC0 (150 rms watt, 300 total) $134 Cerwin Vega VMAG6502 (50 rms, 100 total) $99 Then what to do with the rear doors? 6 1/2 two way, three way or bass driver? Also considering an amp for speakers. How many channel would I need and how much power would I need? Are there any "guidlines" for specifing amps? What are the differences between amp classes? thanks

I was inspecting my vehicle for an amp installation (2002 jeep liberty) and found two wiring harness under the driver and passenger seats. Can anyone tell me what these are for? Also when I install the amp will I need to run speaker wire from the hu to the amp. or does that signal come in through the Rca connectors. Also can the amp be grounded to the seat rail?

I don't know anything about a Jeep Liberty, but I'll take a wild guess about the wiring harnesses: did the vehicle have an available option for power seats and this model does not have them? As far as the stereo questions, getting a signal from your HU to an amp will use the low-level (RCA) outputs from the head, assuming it is an aftermarket head unit. If it's the one that came with the vehicle it will likely not have RCA outputs. In this case you need a speaker level output converter (aka an LOC) to connect to the speaker outputs and send the signal (using RCA cables) to the amp. Seat and seatbelt mounting brackets and bolts is generally not a good ground location, as the seats tend to be bolted onto parts that are often isolated or shock mounted from the chassis and they use hardened steel bolts or welded studs which are not the best for conducting electricity. The best location is to drill a hole through the chassis (through the floor of the vehicle) and scrape off all the paint and use your own bolt with star washer and locking nut. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Ok. Yes I have 5 volt rca outputs on my hu. I have a kenwood kdc-mp828. Looking at replacing the 6 stock speakers and possibly adding an amplifier. Just not real sure on what to get. Don't want to spend more than another $250. I figured I can get a decent componet set or a good pair of 2 ways and at least a 2 channel amp for 250. Any recomenations?
