I have an Alpine Headunit CDE-9852, and i was wondering if some Alpine type S 6x9's would fit on the rear deck. it says the type R's will but not the type S's.

Also do i need the type R's if i am not running an amp?
Is there other 6x9's that are better for same price (less then 100 shipped on ebay)?

thank you

 

The depth would be my only concern, as they might hit the trunk springs... You may just want to measure from the rear deck to the springs, and then measure the speaker and see if they'll drop in.

As far as running an amp, you don't need an amp, but they'll sound a hell of a lot better not running off deck power.

 

but what would sound better off of HU power?

 

... or how hard is it to wire up like a 4channel amp?

With 18 watts rms, they'll probably sound about the same...

Depends on how comfortable you are disassembling/reassembling your car and how familiar you are with wiring amps in general. It's the same as wiring a 2channel sub amp, just with 2 additional channels..

 

for someone totally newb, but i did put in my HU, without the adapter, and am not a retard. and know how to hook up the power from the battery, and then to ground it. and run the RCA's on the oppsite side of the car as the power. but after that it gets fuzzy. i did a monoblock one for a sub, but nothing for speakers.

 

got the type R's ...

 

if i needed an amp, what amp should i get? preferrably something on the cheaper side ...

 

FWIW, I have the R's in my 99 GS Sedan (pushed by a RF400a4), and am pretty happy with them.......
