excelon72 Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 I want to have an OEM upgrade device installed in my 2013 Cadillac SRX, specifically the Alpine PX- H800. Along with a 5 channel amp, subwoofer and maybe speakers on top of the CUE system. But i cannot seem to find ANYONE on any forum who has done this. I cannot be the only one who has bought one of these and wanted to add some better sound. Anyone come across any videos or logs, please post them here. None of the shops im gogin to have done one and that makes me nervous. I plan on having the alpine processor added then either a 5 channel or my zapco 6 channel added after that and a set of JL C5 speakers or Pioneer stage 4 speakers and a Jl Audio 10 or 12" w6 subwoofer.

Beanz Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Are you asking if how to install the processor with your factory stereo? That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

excelon72 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 No I am not. I am for once NOT doing this install. I am looking for an outstanding shop to do it for me. But doing my homework first. Tis is my first luxury car and I want it done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman619 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Look if u want to use the factory stereo and upgrade your sound its not that hard..just buy a line output converter like jl cleansweep and wire it up..if it has a factory amp (which cadillac probably does) bypass it just figure out which wires are the speaker wire and either t tap them or completely disconnect them and run then to your output converter. So if u want to use a 5 channel amp put on the converter run the 3 sets of rcas to the amp. Then run speaker wire directly to the speakers. Run your power wire ..find a good ground and plug it all up..set the gains and ur done..but if that seems too much for you just know you may end up comming out of pocket 2-400 just in labor and they will try to sell high end products for high end prices based on the car you have You need trunk space to get groceries and shit...bitches love groceries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman619 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 And even if you get it all instslled at a shop it doesnt mean you wont have problems with it eventually. If you abuse your equipment or try to push it beyond its capabilites you will burn things up. You can honestly just buy an oscilloscope for less than the price of labor for your job then watch youtube vids and learn how to do it..good luck ..and if u get it done at a shop just remember not to turn it up too loud and always keep an ear out for distortion You need trunk space to get groceries and shit...bitches love groceries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excelon72 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Jl audio clean sweep does not have the outputs to successfully integrate with the CUE system and that is coming from JL Audio. And its not the system that is the issue to install i can handle an advanced install. It is the CUE system integration that is the issue. And ive recently heard an AUDISON all digital system and it is amazing. After decades doing my own advanced installs this is one im glad to pay 2 grand to have done for me.

excelon72 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Not worried about the money. And if a shop messes up, they pay to fix it. And pushing your equipment beyond its limits is a rookie move, something i am far from. I never increase ohms, or take the short,easy or cheap way. Im happy to pay for a system to be done right especially since it is my daily driver and my wife will not let me dive into another project that ends up on the living room floor and me not being able to drive it. 50 grand is a lot to pay for a vehicle just to have it sit while i work on it. I did not ask for advice on doing it myself. I do not need advice for that i already know how to do it. It is just that i do not want to this time.
