Re: Alpine Upgrade

Re: Alpine Upgrade
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.

Re: Alpine Upgrade

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.

Re: Alpine Upgrade
You may find that adding a sound deadener may improve your overall listening experience.
