There will be an Alpine wiring loom with the correct load to keep the fader working available in a few weeks. Took them a while…
Alpine SPC-108T6 speakers - Custom fit T6 door speakers & tweeters
Connect to the thicker one if possible
I have the 8" set to fit to mine. Was debating on the under seat amp and dsp. The only thing is I have the New Halo 11 to go in with it, fitted with the Alpine quad lock to retain the dash display and park assist. . Reading Posts they mention the speakers are better with an amp. The new halo has 4x 50w dclass amp built in. Would this be better overall for these speakers. Also will I lose fader on this setup or is that only the standard head unit.
Thanks, will have to look into getting an amp then.

Do you have rear speakers fitted as well?
I have a shuttle so it has standard rears. I will be changing those once I start the sound deadening in the rear but don't know what too. Also I have halo 11 to fit.

Previous owner of mine installed £50 pioneers from Halfords in the rear, they have such a tinny sound.
Having read through this thread and dropped some cash on the 108t6 model i am underwhelmed with the kit. The sound is not full bodied enough, lacks punch and depth and the treble sounds sharp. I've wired these into the existing loom and put silent coat (2m hex) on the inner door skin. I am not sure what the head unit is, it's a VW one that has sat-nav and dab. The van is a 2018 T30 Edition which has been lined and carpeted before i bought it. It sounds like there is some deadening on the bodywork, but i haven't taken the panels off yet. I also have a T5.1 camper which i installed a focal kit on which sounds miles better than the alpine kit.
Am i missing something? Do i need an amp? From reading it looks like it would benefit. Should i go to the effort of removing the middle door skin and get to the outer door skin to deaden? When the vehicle is on standstill i can hear the bass, but once the van is up to speed the sound is harsh and the bass is lost.
Any advice would be welcome - thanks all!

I have the halo 11 installed which has a d class amp built in and the sound is very good with awesome bass from those speakers.
Definitely needs more power via a amp, or a DSP/amp setup
we offer plug and play solutions
Any chance you can drop a few links here? It certainly feels like the sound coming from the amp in the head unit isn't clean. I think the headunit is the OEM Discover Media Sat Nav system.
Thanks also Magpie for replying; i think i want to keep the head unit OEM if possible.
I've just had the Absolut5 Signature Audio setup installed along with a Halo 11. I'm no connoisseur but I have to say the quality and volume of sound is outstanding and no comparison with the standard head unit. The install consists of:
Hertz Millie pro door speakers, and tweeters for the Pillars
Audison SR5.600 amp running active
Audison bass control
JL Audio 10w1 10" sub in their own design and manufactured under seat enclosure
Sound deadening of the front doors
All cables.
I have a T6.1 so the install is more complicated as you need to retain menu and emergency functions etc (and well above my basic capabilities) so Absolut5 did the install for me too. The quality of the install is excellent and I would highly recommend using them.

Sorry for bumping this topic, but maybe someone need similar help.
I bought GLADEN ONE - T6 APPEARANCE (20 cm) speakers ... currently I am with OEM setup (Discover Media with Navi) and all OEM speakers.
However, I would like to know what is the best way forward. I am planning to do sound deadening to front doors together with the installation, and I plan to add an amp. Since I have Multivan (Caravelle), I have also speakers at the back that I would like to replace and I would like to add a subwoofer, down the road.
My questions:

My questions:
- Which amp to use, I would like some plug-n-play version?
- And which speakers to put at the back?
