I wan t to do a complete alpine system, but don't know anything about how to wire it. First off, i have a lx and don't want to drill holes in my doors for the components, can i buy tweeter housings like on the ex models that will fit the lx? i heard that our doors don't have much space for speakers, so will alpine type r components fit? I'm getting an alpine f450 5 ch. amp and don't know how to wire it. Will i need to run all new wire to the doors and rear deck or will the stock wire be good for 50 w RMS? The deck has 3 preouts l/r/sub. Will i need to run a seperate sub rca or can i just split it off the rca's i run for the speakers or should i run a sperate one for the benefit of having the sub controls on the deck? How do i get my speaker wire to the amp for my door and rear deck speakers? Thanks in advance

honestly...if you dont know anything either post in the regional forum and find someone that does or pay an installer.

1 - why do you want to do a full alpine system?
2 - go to an installer if you dont know anything about it...

i could go to an installer, but it is good experience and i got to start somewhere. I want all alpine b/c i like their products and it seems like it would be better to go all one company.

all one company doesnt matter. go with what sounds best to YOU on your budget. thats all that matters.

Type R components will fit. My installer had to use a spacer...If you go all alpine, make sure you get a good ALpine HU first...Then Type R comps, 6x9 Type Rs for the rearfill and you've got a good amp already with the f450....I went with Type S for rearfill and will get a 12" Type R sub powered by alpine MRD-M500...

CantSeeMe should be able to help you out. PM him any questions....

i thougth the rears were 6.5" speakers, not 6x9, or is it different in the sedan and you have a coupe?

I think it's better to have a mixed system, since each company is good at certain things. Speakers should all be the same probably.
