Re: Upgrading stereo... Posted by Chris9k [Email] (#3127) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Chris9k) on Mon, 17 Jan 2011 12:06:55 In Reply to: Re: Upgrading stereo..., PT, Mon, 17 Jan 2011 10:16:10 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I would stick with the stock amp, but I hate the wiring for the stock amp. I want to get rid of that. I have done it 2 ways before. Cutting the pink connector and connecting the wires to the speaker outputs (distortion..signal amplified twice). I have also connected RCA to the wires coming from the amp and plugged into the pre-amps coming from the stereo. Works but not happy with the way that is wired. I know I am losing a lot of quality in that set-up. Would rather get a new amp and run all new wires. I don't mind doing that. At least then I get all new wires and an amp hooked up correctly and know that the amp is giving everything it can. I would like to find another amp, but haven't found one with the specs from the Infinity in that price range.
$170 for the Focals is a good price, but still more than $100 more than I would pay for the Kappas... If I was just changing out front speakers, than I would be able to deal with that. But if I put Focals up front, I would want the rest of the system to match that quality.
Thanks again.
Chris
