As the title says, I have a 2018 CX-5 without Bose. I have already done the CarPlay upgrade. I Just ordered 2 12" Skar 2x12D4 subwoofers and a Scar 1200.1D Amp (Pushes about 1600w max and true to 1200w RMS per testing I've found done by pros on YouTube lol). I plan to tap in using a scorche line output converter at the TAU. Now I am looking at door replacement speakers. Memphis Audio PRX60C These are what I've been most eyeing, as I've had good luck with their subwoofers years ago. I will be running from factory power, no extra amp for the highs and mids.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for speaker upgrades vs those Memphis? My planned budget for the 4 speakers is about $400 but can go up or down if it is worthwhile.
Also, anyone have any experience putting 1200w through the stock alternator? Have an Optima Red Top battery. Worried about dimming etc. Planned on grabbing a basic 4F Capacitor but wondering if that will be enough on these vehicles (My prior builds used 250A alternator, I believe stock on these MX-5s is only 100A)? Debating if I should go right to a kinetic cell vs messing with capacitors.
