Prob Better off starting a thread, you will get a lot more traffic on it that will be about the 6032's and you will prob get some more answers with more experience in regards to Infinity stuff...

I would venture to say No.

Anytime a Manufacturer teams up with company for a upgrade like that, they build new spec stuff and make it only for those models/manufacturers specs for set lines... They never just plug in a signature line of stuff... because then any replacement stuff would not have to come through the manufacturers, it could be had anywhere... which is kinda against what the stealership is designed to do...

Hi after reading all the post in the thread I'm thinking of getting an Apline PDX-4 with Polk Audio DB6501 / DB651 setup. My question is, is it possible to run the 2 DB651 sound bar speaker on ONE channel? This way I can run all 4 speakers + sub on one 4-channel amp, instead of getting another amp for the sub. Thanks for any help/comments!

I wouldn't do that, Alpine makes a 5 channel with the same foot print.

yeah i'm looking at the PDX-5 which is a slice bigger and a bit more expensive then the PDX-4. I'd like to install the amp at where the stock is. I've seen someone posted a pic b4 that a PDX could fit very tightly in that space. I assume it was a pdx-4.

Sorry for the radio silence, guys... Been working ~18 hours a day for the last week

Needless to say, that hasn't left me a lot of time to work on the Jeep. I got home around 1 am on Tuesday and just said f* it... if I don't do it now, it's not going to happen. So I sat there for about 30 minutes and played with the settings on the amp.

I've turned the gains all the way down on the amp (I previously turned them all the way down on the LOC). It helped with the sound, but now I'm wondering if maybe the system is under powered.

It definitely sounds better than it did before I changed the settings on the amp, but, to be honest, it still doesn't sound good. In my opinion, it sounds about the same as stock, but I can't turn it up as loud without noticeable distortion.

Also, I'm not sure if anyone else has this issue - but when playing the radio, I'm getting a lot of noise coming through that I don't get when I play music from another source.

The other thing is it still sounds like something is wrong with the front driver's side mid - it almost sounds like clipping when I turn the volume up, but I don't hear it in any of the other speakers. I'm thinking that it could be either one of two things:
1. I didn't install the speaker pod correctly
2. The speaker is hitting the pod somehow

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
