Alpine 9853 HU
10" alpine sub in a supthump box
75x4 v12 alpine amp
and I want to put components in the front.

Don't really want to spend that much so I'll probably go with the CDTs.
It's funny how my simple project of replacing the stock HU, so I can play MP3 cds, turned into adding and amp, sub, and changing out the speakers.

be careful with the Alpine amps.....is that 75X4 when it has 14.4? What is the rating with 12? Understand that it will constantly fluctuate.
