Stereo replacement and crazy weight difference between stock and new speakers.

Had my speakers replaced, sub and amp added. Night and day difference. I went with the new Rockford Fosgate punch series speakers, an Alpine 12" sub, and a Wavtech 1000.5 Plus amp to run it all.

The amp, t-wire harness, amp power kit and amp install was almost 50% of the cost.

I do not have pictures of the Rockford Fosgate speakers but they are the new P1-V2 series. Did direct replacements for the 6 stock speakers and they also added the sound deadening tape to the doors.

Anyway, quick comparison of just the speaker weight. The stock speakers come with the plastic mounts attached so that is part of their weight. This is each speaker.

Stock 2.5" - 6.8oz

RF 2.5" - 5.44oz

Stock 6x9 - 29.45oz

RF 6x9 - 51.04oz

Stock 6.5" - 13.2oz

RF 6.5" - 33.52oz

Those rear 6.5" magnets were almost identical to tbe 2.5". It was crazy how light those speakers are. No wonder hardly any sound comes out of them.

Photos I included are of the stock speakers back and front. Close up of the 2.5" sticker. Box from my amp. Photo of which sub I got and it in the back. I have it laying down like that as standing up it would tip on hard acceleration. Sub control knob under the center console. Let's me turn the bass up or down. Then the amp placement under the back panel.

Paid cash and got a discount for cash. New stereo and front window tint was $2900. Reran the infinity audio and it is so fun to listen to now. Yes, the stock was passable, but this makes it fun.

2 year old cell phone died randomly over the weekend. UbreakiFix said phone needed a new motherboard. Boards are not available so basically unrepairable. Submitted a claim with all the necessary documents. Came back as denied claiming it was a "manufacturer defect" and those aren't covered.

Use this info as needed if you ever have to make a claim that random failures are not covered and considered defects but if you drop it on the ground or in a pool, those are covered.
