pummer67 0 Posted April 22, 2010 i want to uprgrade the sound in my car. i have never had to do anything with speakers as all my other cars have been newer and had good sound already. all i have in my car at moment is standard speakers and my headunit is a kenwood kdc-7070r. i have been given an alpine amp and was wondering what options i have. this is the amp i have been given http://www.raysmith.co.uk/alpine-mrp-t2 ... ifier.html Alpine MRP-T220 Alpine 2/1 Channel Power Car Amplifier - 140W x 1 RMS 4 Ohms Bridged - 70W x 2 RMS 2 Ohms - 50W x 2 RMS 4 Ohms So basically i want to know what are my best options available using this amp. all suggestions welcome as i have no ideas yet really. any help greatly appreciated. mark :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted April 22, 2010 I've got that amp and use it to power my front speakers, which I have upgraded. The sound quality improved a fair bit. I did used to use it for my sub, but found it lacked the loudness I wanted, so I bought a bigger amp. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattnorgrove 0 Posted April 22, 2010 Upgrading the front door pods to Audioscape pods is probably the best way to go, install a decent set of components, amp them up, and job done. The 5.25" factory speakers really aren't large enough to support a decent bass response. Have a search for Audioscape on here for some ideas... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
