K i went to a audio store and they said i would need to gut my speakers bcuz they run at diff ohms??? I dont understand why they cant just take out the old amp and put my new one in? They also said they would have to re-wire entire system bcuz its a foreign car???Please help It a 97' Range Rover
I have 2 12' atlas PG 600.1 Alpine 9851
really want to get this installed but now they say i need new speakers? which guna kill me on sot and plus the whole rewire deal
ok what do you mean that you are going to have to gut your speakers because they run at different ohms? I am not following you here what exactly do you mean?
hes an idiot, is he talking about your factor amp running at different ohms than your sub amp? assuming u have 2 atlases all u would need is a 2 ohm stable amp and even boss can run at 2 ohms, does he know u dont hook up the gold terminals to the amp? that is just to control your qts. he11 i dunno im just reaching for answers to explain what he might be thinking lol
thats garbage because if that were the case you wouldnt be able to swap in new speakers if the factory amp was configured to run a certain amount of power at lower impedence's. Crutchfield says nothing about it and it gives plenty of speaker packages that are a direct fit with no modifications at all. I think they are yanking your chain bro and you should go to another shop. Was it a local shop or a chain shop such as best buy or circuit city?
Im def guna go to another shop he just trying to sell me on new speakers and stuff. BS. and 750 total for install and new speakers still doesnt add up. He kept saying sumitn about ohms.- and like nbose if u install anew hu the speakers will think its all vol 40 on deck jhe used that example like it wont read it or sumtin like dat
the guy thought he knew it all. I could tell in his body language-he thought he was da shiz. But uyeah ima guna tkae elsewhere for another qutoe, i just hopeni dnt get the samebs
I dont think so man that guy pulled some stuff out of his A$$. dont even mention that when you go to another shop just ask them about a sub and amp and running a new HU there should be no problems at all.
Ok now that im not ina rush-had to cancell a date...The guy i went to said the wiring in range rovers are different than us cars. SO he said that if i wanted to put evrything in and keep the current speakers(which are fine) that they wouldnt work...He said i would have to get new speakers bcuz the current ones only recieve signal or ohms or wutever from the current amp and hu and if i were to install my new hu and amp the speakers would not respond to those signal or ohms or wutever lol??? i was so confused when he was tellin me this and im not a brain at car audio but this just seemed plain dumb...
you may have to bypass the factory amp like you do in some bose systems unless you buy tht stupid 100 dollar harness which im gonna have to do pretty soon
yeah thats what I was thining also but there is no way you would have to replace all the speakers! no prob man let me know what the next shop says I am curious to hear how it goes.
Hey james i went to another audio store more by around where i live. They are an all audio store and they priced my install at $150 lol I cant believe thoise guys were trying to get me on $750. After i get my install i should roll past their shop
