Stereo upgrade
#21
Thanks. Since the time of the original installation, I swapped the Alpine 007 for an Alpine 107. It looks exactly the same, but the 107 has wireless CarPlay, which I really like. I also blew the JBL sub, so I modified the sub box and installed a Kicker solo baric sub. The amp was a little too powerful for the JBL sub, but it works good with the Kicker. Here’s a picture. The Kicker is bigger and doesn’t look quite as tidy as the JBL did, but it sounds better. I made the grille with some quarter-round trim and speaker cloth. The Kicker sub had a gaudy grille that looked out of place, so that’s why I made the custom cover. It looks more subtle, which is what I was after.
