2010 rts speaker upgrades

[finless]

I regards to output from the built in amp, that may require a call to the manufacturer. I do not recall who it is, but did read it off the label. Believe they are made in the US.

The RT radio is made by RadioSound and is called NTouch.

But you are not going to get any info from them! They only give it to manufacturers

Want to add that we recently purchased an I Pod for the Spyder. Purchased a new generation I Pod Nano and the Apple adapter connecter that converts the new style small Apple plug to the Spyders old style Apple plug.

So far everything seems to work fine. However when trying to change albums, the Spyder seems to prefer and always comes back to Alan Jackson...

SO, we rode last night for a bit. Simply impressed by the entire audio package when using the I Pod to play the music. The music played during the ride had Kenny Chesney, Off Spring, Alan Jackson, a couple of 80's songs and maybe more.

Everything played with super clarity, volume was capable, and the wife commented several times on how she really thought the system was awesome.

Overall, I am considering removing the hidden antenna and reverting back to the original antenna setup. This will allow me to compare and verify if the hidden setup is picking up noise that carries into the speakers.

I Pods and JBLs so far for us are a very good setup.

Next will be to sort out an I Pod mount in the trunk.

Velcro works well.

Hi, I'm the guy who discovered and pioneered the 2 ohm JBL revolution...... The folks here who tried them , have loved them..... I see you have 428 size in the rear ..... I switched mine out for JBL GTO 508c's ( 5.25" with a higher capability for Volume ).... and that made a hugh difference for the rear sound ..they have more Base than the 4" size ..... If you look for ( better ) speakers, If they are .. 4 ohm .. you may not see any improvement..... I know the rear hole can be enlarged to fit the 508c, but other 5.25 speakers may be too big ..... good luck .... Mike

Well once again I thank you Mike the reason I originally got the Gto's was because of you and all your post and yes its definitely a great improvement but now that I added the alpine Inline amo wow its awesome I may have to try these 508 c. Did you go 508c on all 4 spots or just rears also I saw them on ebay it looks like the tweeter is mounted separately is this so and if it is where did you mount it
