My version of the ultimate stereo for the Prius

Thanks very much Grren4ever. That sounds right to me for the rear doors. I will just get coaxial speakers.
Also maybe I missed this in your previous posts but for the front door component speaker kit the tweeters
go up on the dash near the windshield right? In other words the speakers on the dash near the windshield are
not a separate tweeter pair?
Thanks! Craig

 

clean install.. what did you do with the steering wheel control??? also stay tune for my prius with 4 12s

 

Let me know when you plan on selling your Prius, I may be interested just because of the head unit,, Just kidding

Hats off for the time & money you spent, you should be enjoying it a lot now

I switched from TSX to Prius, I miss the sound in TSX, it was Pioneer unit, pretty much decent, but Prius doesn't seem that bad.

I must say rear speakers do not the sound the same as in front of prius , not sure why.

 

Hi Grren4ever. I have just seen the post for the amazing system u put in..how long have u had the system in the car for now and did you upgrade anything in terms of the vehicle power I.e bigger battery or capacitor. I am wanting to put in a system in my car which I have started buying but I'm sceptical in case I damage the inverter. I understand that the Prius has a 100A inverter but I'm not sure how much power I can draw from the small battery without damaging anything.. the system I am wanting to put in is as follows: 2 Rockford fosgate T1693 6×9s in the front doors with 2 DS18 120B tweeters in the tweeter slots at the top of the dash powered by a pioneer GM-D9705 amp pulling out 4×100 watt rms to power the tweeters and the 6×9 and 600w rms to power a 12 inch alpine type R sub in a custom box. The recommended fuse for the amp wiring kit as per the owner manual of the amp is 100 Amps.. but am I right in presuming the amp wont be drawing out 100 amps as the amp itself has 3 30A fuses in it. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated from everyone. kind Regards.

Total system output is 1000 watt rms. Can the stock battery and inverter handle that especially if I add a power capacitor on it aswell?

 

Thanks ever soo much for the reply as this was a very big concern of mine.. as the recommended fuse for the amp wiring is 100 amps would u say its adequate to put that in or should I put a smaller one on just in case to protect the car. What fuse have you got in your power wire from the small battery if you dont mind me asking..

 

Grumpy old driver here reminds you to turn down the volume when you drive by my house, and hopefully Mr Grren will think about carbon impact and recycle the numerous boxes and styrofoam and other waste accumulated during this project.

Love your new race car Frodoz. Prob needs a bigger stereo. Mr Grren might have one for you.

 

Thanks for the message.. my car has the factory JBL system..its a Prius gen 3. I have also ordered the metra speaker adapters for the front doors. The 72-8104s. I have ordered the sub and amp and tweeters but I am awaiting delivery. If I was to use the metra adapters for now on my Rockford fosgate T1693 6×9s would they give me the full range of sound in the front doors for now or is the sound split between the dash tweeters and then only the lower frequencies are transferred to the door 6×9 as currently all the highs are coming from the dash speakers. Would it be the same with the metra adapters or would I get the whole sound from the 6×9s
