August 1, 201015 yr You get what you pay for man....(A little less than what you pay for with Alpine and a lot more than what you pay for with Fi)
August 1, 201015 yr If doing the Big 3 is an issue for you then get someone to do it for you, it may $40 or more but at least it wont be a hindrance to you getting a better system installed in your car. Buy the materials to get it done and find someone to do the labor for you. At least do the grounds if you can (engine block to chassis and battery to chassis) and get someone to do battery positive to alternator positive.

August 1, 201015 yr You can access it from under the car behind the engine. you could do it if you tried i think.
August 1, 201015 yr Author You can access it from under the car behind the engine. you could do it if you tried i think.i guess i could try...do you mean like jacking it up?
August 1, 201015 yr yeah put it on jack stands or ramps would work fine. something to make sure your safe under there
August 2, 201015 yr Author yeah put it on jack stands or ramps would work fine. something to make sure your safe under there if i stuck with type r's which would be louder, 2 12" current gen for 1200w rms or 3 10" last gen for 1500w rms?
August 2, 201015 yr Unless someone else has done the exact comparison, with the same tone in the same car, nobody is gonna know. usually cone area wins but not always.
August 2, 201015 yr Author Unless someone else has done the exact comparison, with the same tone in the same car, nobody is gonna know. usually cone area wins but not always.well the cone area is the same but the 10s can take more power...

August 2, 201015 yr Three 10's have slightly more cone area, more motor force, and more coil for heat dissipation. But will not have a normal impedance load on your amplifier, make sure of that.

August 3, 201015 yr kk as long as your happy! If kicker makes you seem like a bad ass go for it!What dose kicker and bad ass have to do with it.
