they both said I don’t need the LC7i since I already have the 6 channel alpine amp and JL audio fix86.
You never mentioned (or I didn't notice) that you had a Fix86, if I had known you had this I would have not have mentioned the LC7i. Man your original shop clearly did not know how to tune a system

Got the basic sound system package - biggest mistake

So I went to local stereo shop and told them I want it loud and clear.

So they recommended to do the following which cost me $2400 already.
6 new Alpine R-series speakers.
6-channel amp Alpine R-series R-A90S
Alpine R-series 10 inch Sub
JL Audio Fix86 to wire everything.

I am still not happy with the sound system.
Sounds like my factory speakers with a sub which makes it sound little better…but not happy.

With all the good new speakers, a sub, and an amp, i think it’s not properly adjusted or fine tuned.

So I am planning on going to a different stereo shop.

What should I tell the new stereo shop?

is there something you recommend to add to my existing setup.

thank you.
You should checkout the Helix V Twelve DSP and listen to few other speakers brand

I was running a pirated version of youtube premium on an android through bluetooth and was extremely shocked when i switched to an Iphone and actually paid for YouTube premium which comes with youtube music. Youtube music made a night and day difference!

I feel like any of them would, I personally use Spotify. Not sure how others work, but it allows you to save the music onto the phone so you can play it offline which would be equivalent to having the song stored on your phone
