Did your headunit not come with a wiring harness? You can get everything from www.crutchfield.com or https://www.sonicelectronix.com. Just plug in your car info and it will give you options on what to buy. Their customer service is also very helpful. Good luck!

 

Alpine type R has a 'universal fit' frame which works well with the non-standard Mitsu 3 bolt holes in the doors.


I would do separates (not coax) - if you do not already have a tweeter in the sail panel - they are cheap on ebay...


You could do a coax in the rear - but a 6.5" woofer is better for sound staging (sounds like a concert with majority of sound coming from the windshield.


"But what about great sound for rear passengers?"
I don't care. No one in the back seat ever made a car payment.

 

which 6.5 woofer would you recommend for the front door panels?

 

Woofer is for the rears. For the front doors use separates. I used the http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-AL...MAAOSwuMFUj2gT


The 1" tweeter fits in the sail panel with minor mod.

 

these with no amp??? ain't these to strong to be played with no amp???

 

No such thing as "too strong."


"Can they handle a amp (if you add one later)?" yep.


"If I don't have an amp - will it hurt the speakers?" Not a chance.


Just don't listen at a volume that makes the little OEM radio amp distort (which is bad for any speaker). You know when the amp is distorting (not the speaker) when the distortion is across all the frequencies.


Versus a speaker reaching its limit - which will first have the bass start "muffing" each bass hit and then turn the volume up more and then the speaker will 'bang' with each bass hit (as the voice coil bangs against the frame).

 

my friend is selling me a old sony cd radio its a sony Cdx gt400 for only 15 dollars totally working 100 pct its 17watts x4 rms ,52wattsx4 do you think its worth it ? or should I wait and get the new kenwood excelon kdc x301?

 

my friend is selling me a old sony cd radio Sony cdx gt400 for only 15 dollars totally workin is it worth it or shouldI wait and get the kenkenwood excelon kdc x301 ?

 

For $15 dollars just get it and upgrade it later if you still want the kenwood at that point. For me I had certain requirements when I bought my headunit. I needed bluetooth and sirius compatibility as well as an aux and usb port for my ipod.

 

thanks yea I really dont need the blue tooth and Sirius and that 15dollarsone got Aux for ipod . I just wondering will it Still sound good with the Alpine Ape 6000 speakers?

 

It will be fine. Will it sound better with amps - you betcha'!
FWIW: I got my amps on Craigs List - one for free(!) and the other for only $30...
