I completely understand using what you have instead of purchasing new (which is why I have "non-matching" Audison amps in my car), however, if I were doing an install in your car, would have gone a very different direction for a similar amount of money.

At the end of the day, if you're happy, then that's great!
Not the competition install that you have for sure, but it sounds good to me and I thought it was a fair deal. The 4 inch alpines run off the front channels, with the high pass filter on the amp, and the components run off the rear channels. Pretty straight forward.

Don't think I've ever seen anyone use coax's and components at the same time before, but if you're happy that's all that matters.

Patrick I completely agree with you however I doubt most people on this forum are as picky as you and I when it comes to sound.

I think systems like what you and I have are not the norm for most car owners. I consider myself a borderline audiophile.

As long as Dave is happy thats all that matters.

Could not agree more. And I consider myself a true audiophile, not just a borderline one
