Dragon87 Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 I am looking at the following setup. Please tell me if it possible and if not what would be. two 6 1/2 in the door two 6 1/2 in the rear (would really like 6 x 9's here) two 10" woofers in custom box one 100w amp What do you all think??

kev Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Sure that is possible. Why 6x9s though? I have yet to hear a set of 6x9s sound better than a 6.5" woofer. Speakers are meant to be round not oval in my mind. What brands are you looking into? I have MBQuart 5.25" components in the front, Pioneer 6.5" in the back, a PPI A404 50Wx4 Amp, and a single JE 10" sub. The amp runs the Quarts on the front two channels and the back two are bridged to the sub. The rears are running off of the head unit. Sounds great to me but my Quarts are pretty much shot so the gains are turned down in the front. kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarc Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 Well, sound is in the ear of the beholder... so to speak. ;P But pretty much any upgrade over stock is gonna' either be nice or awsome. I'm with Kev on this one though. To put 6 1/2" and 6x9's in would require modification to both stock mounting locations. And there are plenty of aftermarket speakers that will mount in those locations without major mods and will also sound mucho better than the stock speakers. Though, to be honest, for stock, the speakers that came in our cars are pretty good. I'm planning on using Infinity Kappa's in my Starion when I upgrade the stereo speakers, but thier not cheap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy_85stariones Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Run a search for earlier posts on replacing rear hatch speakers. The fastest way is by removing the rear seat, seatbelts, and side interior panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolyrgr Posted November 22, 2002 Report Share Posted November 22, 2002 I've got a pair of Kappas in the front stock location and they sound awesome.(5.25") I wuold have to agree with kev, 6x9 speakers are less of a speaker than even a same brand 6.5". I think that I would go at least 200w if you want to use a sub. unless you are planning in running at least one set of speakers from the head unit. I am not a power freak when it comes to stereos, but I do think it takes at least 75-100w to get a good clean sound form a 10" sub. What head unit are you going to use?

Chris.Reid Posted November 23, 2002 Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 100 watts running two subs...sounds kind of lo-fi....I would recommend putting some nice 4" 2 way speakers in the front, two 5.25" speakers in the hatch, and a nice 1000 watt subwoofer...a nice head unit and you'd be set!

Dragon87 Posted November 23, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2002 Thanks!!!!! Ihave a pioneer head unit....

Technology Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 much better, if they were jensen subs, then sure, you could power them with your cd player, if they are good speakers, buy a good amp to accompany them. or spend the money on a bigg turbo!
