I have been trying to get the 9887 but everyones out of stock! Will the 117 work?

The 9887 is what I have and is a great unit the 117 can so it as well but I think the 9887 would do a better job. You will however need the H100 to go active with the 117 but I think it would be a newer better choice.

I have a 4 channel Memphis amp so your saying run the 6.5 and the 4inch with that amp? Run the tweeters from the deck and cross all them with the deck?

its this amp:
16-MA3004 - Memphis 75 x 4 Class AB Full Range Marine Amplifier

And this amp for my subs:
16-MAD1000 - Memphis 1100 x 1 Class D Marine Subwoofer Amplifier

heres the 6.5 add ons:
S6.0MX3 - Diamond Audio 6" 3 Way Upgrade System

heres the 4inch set:
DIAMOND AUDIO HEX S400A NEW PRO 4" COMPONENT SPEAKERS on eBay!

So put the 4inch in the dash, 6.5 in the doors and find a spot for the tweets and don't use any of the crossovers, use the one with the 117 deck?

What you would do is leave the 4's out, use the amp to run the 6.5 and the tweets, and then your sub amp stays as the sub amp. your deck with do all the Xing over.

I'm not 100% that you need the Imprint unit to go active, just to do a full tune, which i've had mixed respondses from Alpine dealers.

I don't use the 4inch? Don't I need those to get a full sound? Like someone said 4inch in the dash 6.5 inch the doors and tweets in the pillers?

Sounds like it might just be easier to get the polk sr5250,s and run that set. The 6.5 are discontinued now.I can sell the diamond 4inch and 6.5 inch, use that money to get the polks.then the amp can run the tweeters and the mids and the system should be full.

bigaudiofanat · 12-12-2010, 09:42 PM

The sr's are great I am thinking of running them in my next car when i get it. I would just run them at full as there crossovers are pretty well built.

It would be no different then haveing a 6.5" set to begin with, the set up you have just has different X overs, which you wouldn't be using.

boomboom · 12-13-2010, 01:55 AM

So I could use the diamond 6.5 and they would be like using the polk 6.5,s? The polks are 2 way i thought the diamonds weren't.

90 ST · 12-13-2010, 03:31 AM

Speakers are speakers in this case, we, the company i work for, have a 6.5" add on mid bass also but it's the same 6.5 add on as our 6.5 set, it's just a different X over.

oh i see.Maybe i can just use the crossover from the 4inch set if i decide to not go active. I am not real good at this stuff that's the only reason I wouldn't go active.

90 ST · 12-13-2010, 03:55 PM

The Xover points with the 4" xover will be different then with a 6.5" set, thus needing to go active with what you have.

bigaudiofanat · 12-13-2010, 05:39 PM

Using a crossover from one set of speakers on another set is a bad idea. You can damage the tweeters and or woofers if they can not handle the sam frequencies as the old set.
