I just got done wiring up my Modifry Wired DCI to my alpine 9857 headunit and everything works flawlessly, i have yet to install the SCV feature but i will do that tommorow.

Now to the main point. I will be replacing my stock speakers soon with some infinity Kappa 6.5 Perfect Component set on my 01.

I was wondering if I could continue using my stock wiring from the OEM speakers or do i have to run new wires from the headunit into the door, which i know is a PITA!

 

how much did you pick those up for?

 

If your just going to run the speakers off the HU, then the stock wiring will be fine. If your going to amp them however then you really should run new 14 guage speaker wire.

 

A couple of words of advice from an Infinity Perfect 6.1 Owner:


1. You will want an amp. Those speakers sound TERRIBLE without an amp. I had mine hooked up only to my Pioneer 7800 and the sound was aweful. After the amp, they are some of the best speakers I have heard (especially for the price.)

2. You will probably want to dynomat your doors if you do get an amp. I only got the dynamat speaker kit, and I regret it. The doors rattle like crazy with any music with a good amount of bass. Believe it or not, those 6.5's hit pretty hard with the JL 300/2 I have.

Good luck! You will be extremely please at how much better it will sound than stock if you get a decent amp!

 

I wasn't really planning on getting a amp... Any other components you guys recommend with just running a headunit?

 

The Pioneer TS-C160R are a nice speaker that will sound good off a HU. I can get them for you for $184.00



Do you have a budget in mind?

 

really just need something with quality/decent pricing around 300

 

Honestly spending that much on speakers run from a HU and not from an amp is a total waste of your hard earned cash

 

Hey darknight since i'm doing my DCI scv feature right now with the blasted panel already off i was wondering if i could do the one click ebrake softtop bypass also?

I was planning to pull the connector for the black/white speed sensor wire and pry that open to remove the speed sensor wire so i can operate the top with one click. Now where do i wire the DCI grey wire to?

Do i just connect Grey DCI sensor wire into Black/white speed sensor wire or do i have to wire they grey DCI wire into the connector and just leave the black/white wire hanging?
