So i finally finished upgrading my speakers, I went with all alpine. I put type r 5x7's in the front and rear doors, and the alpine power pack to give a little boost to the speakers. I also got the bluetooth adapter (KCE-400BT). These speakers sound great, the clarity is amazing. I will probably put a sub in eventually but i can do without for now. The powerpack and bluetooth adapter I put in my glovebox so they are out of the way.

you couldve hidden the bluetooth adapter in the dash under the radio bezel, like i hid mine. i dont have a picture of it, but i have the exact same one, and have a 9885 h/u

Very nice choice

I wanna add the power pack to my system

I have the power pack in my glove box too. I didnt really notice that much of an improvement. It sounds better but not as good as I had thought.

power pack? is this a cheap way of avoiding adding an amplifier?

i noticed an improvement when i added the powerpack, it wasn't a huge improvement but its about the increase i expected.

Its a quick little mini Amp. It plugs in between the wiring harness from your truck to the back of your head unit. It only works with Alpine Head Units. It can be mod-ed to work with any radio but you need to cut the connectors off which void your warranty. It bumps your Head unit power up to 45 Watts by 4 Channels. For the $110 I spent on it I was happy with the results. I had high hopes for more bang but what ya gonna do.

You may find that adding a sound deadener may improve your overall listening experience.
