Ok I ordered the kicker 6.5 speaker upgrade for the sound bar and the front. I have the 430n with alpine sub. I don't wat to go to crazy but my sub blows. Do I get the kicker cvr82 and just plug and play or do I get the sub and the replacement kicker amp? Not a stereo guy so don't know alot about it/

I just installed this:



Its a powered 12" sub, super easy to install yourself, running wires is the most difficult. I've measured SPL levels(with a rockford app) above 100db with a lot of room to go higher but i'm not into ripping my ear drums so this setup kills it. I have my remote level set to about 25% and it sounds magical.

As a reference: 85db spl is acceptable, but will cause damage over time, permanent damage occurs at 120db, human pain threshold is 130db.

Are you putting and amp to the fronts?

Right now I have the stock amp and soon kicker speakers is all. I was hoping to use the stock sub enclosure

You mentioned before the kicker upgrade thing in the stock enclosure which could be good, but this guy says not worth it:

What about upgrading your amp first?

I know kicker makes an upgraded amp to fit where the factory one does or I think anyway I would do that if it is worth it
