![]() I was also looking into the Alpine amplifiers and almost got a PDX-V9. This would also have been nicely fit into the compartment under the steering column. I was able to hear the Mosconi D2 80.6 in another jeep and immediately liked the sound. It is also slightly smaller than the PDX-V9. That was basically my reason for taking the Mosconi amplifier.
I felt, when hearing the system with/without soundbar in the demo jeep, there was no big difference. with soundbar on/off. The shop guy also recommended me to skip the soundbar. But the sound tuning of an active system takes a lot of time, which I was not able to do so far .

![]() my Pioneer did not power on the other day with the Jeep and i was worried it had died as well! fortunately it was just a blown fuse on the Maestro harness... it was my own wiring issue in that i had supplied power for the cameras from that same harness. the cable to my front camera appears to have shorted out somewhere. i simply unplugged that cable for now since i have not yet had time to troubleshoot where the short is exactly. side note - i still love this whole setup with the Pioneer NEX and factory amp/speakers. the speakers (and possibly amp) were changed starting with 2015 JKs though, so perhaps if i had an earlier model i'd feel the need to upgrade too. having the EQ in the pioneer unit has made all the difference in terms of "waking up" the stock components. i've grown accustomed to the time-aligned sound as well. even though it's only 2 channel aligned currently, it sounds so much better with TA on. i also have the "sound retriever" option at the highest setting when using Pandora/bluetooth or MP3's. the manual says that feature "automatically enhances compressed music". i'm not sure if it's just doing additional EQ or something more, but it does make the digital sources sound "fuller" to me. i personally like having the rear soundbar, in fact i run with the fader set slightly towards the rear (and my seat is in the farthest position back). looking forward to hearing both of your systems once you've gotten them dialed in just how you like!

Here is a picture of the installed amplifier in stock location. We used the Infinity mount and put a metal plate on top of it, 90 degrees rotated. With this, all connectors are facing backwards and are easily reachable.

![]() I do like how your set-up allows easy access to the amp controls. Nice!
