JKDriver Posted July 15, 2013 Report Posted July 15, 2013 Years ago I installed car stereo systems. I mainly did box building, fiberglass/lexan/ aluminum enclosures, and wound wiring harness building. While I have not kept up with high end stereo equipment in at least 13 years, I have recently gotten the bug to replace my '07 Jeep Sahara's system. I'm planning a double din head unit and amp/ speaker replacement, subs under the front seat and component rack under the rear seat since I don't fold it down ever. I was planning simple, but while talking with my wife about it, she said "well lets get that box of stereo equipment out of the attic." Box of stuff in the attic? WTF?So up I go, and there it is. At least 15 years old, brand new in the box AudioControl stuff I had planned to put in my old Carerra. A Model 11 Center Channel processor/ amplifier, 2 EQL's half octave/ full octave eq's with level matching preamps, 2 each 2SX 18 db per octave active crossovers, and an Epicenter bass restoration processor. Also a crap load of Esoteric Audio gold plated fuse holders, distribution blocks, terminals, Monster patch cables and some rolls of 0 gauge and 4 gauge power and ground wire. I had totally forgotten about this stuff! Just bench tested everything, and all is GTG.So now I am looking at this audio upgrade from a completely different perspective. I'm gonna see how much of this stuff I can shoe horn in to this thing. Why? 'cause I can and its here! Is an old school quality system overkill in a Jeep with no hard top (and 90% of the time, no soft top either)? Sure, but why not? Its free and its here! Now I need to address amp's and speakers. The problem is I have not kept up with car audio technology is at least a decade. When last I was involved, I loved MB Quart, Polk, and A/D/S/ tweeters and mid's, and Soundstream Reference, PPI, and Orion amps. Whats considered good now? I want good sounding, quality speakers for the volume when on the road, but also so if I do put the hard top on it will sound like it should. Also, anything good and at least partially weather resistant, speaker wise? I got the underseat subs covered...
