Hey guys just pulled out my factory alpine subwoofer/box. Does anyone know if or where the factory amp is located? Thanks!

bump to the top...anybody have any info?

 

im pretty sure that the factory amp is built in to the subwoofer, most new vehicles are like that. someone correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure thats how it is.

 

I am pretty sure there are 2 amps with the system. The sub amp should be with the sub speaker. And the main speaker amp is under the dash on the driver's side.

 

sub amp is not in the box...i pulled the sub out and its just a plastic box. 4 wire plug going in...branching to 2 inputs on the sub.

 

can just the sub be changed? would a better speaker sound any different.

 

I am clueless to why people pay for the most expensive stereo system then rip it out? 2 grand for a radio alone, then to upgrade speakers with new amps and sub...a grand, So you remove 3000 worth of equipment that you paid for and spend probably more and get close to the same sound. I was totallly impressed with the sound of the Alpine system, it rocks and I missed out on the 800 dollar upgrade for the speakers. Mine had the cheapo radio now I have the MYGig REN and am going to upgrade t the kicker amp and speakers. I got my 1000 dollar radio for 250, the uconnect from the dealer cost more

 

i'm curious too- i have two 12" and an amp sitting in the garage from my wife's old car

 

Factory amp is located above the e-brake. Dont bothering trying to remove it cuz its a PITA. best bet is to splice into the wires and put in your own amp

 

what did you do with your factory alpine stuff? I'm slowly piecing options onto my truck that I didn't buy when I got the truck.
