man this **** gets confusing......
im done with gofast parts for a while.
doing some suspension upgrades and want to get the stereo listenable.
car currently has an aftermarket pioneer receiver, nothing great, cheap bestbuy type unit.
terrible 6x9 in the rear deck and stock CSII and Dash speakers.
It sounds so bad, i can't even listen to talk radio on it.
From the sticky:
GOAL OF SYSTEM:
I want it to sound good,
want the power to be able to listen to clear music, when stereo is cranked at highway speeds.
I don't need to impress someone down the block, but want to impress myself.
WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO:
About 80% rock, 20% Electronic music.
Bass is important, but don't want it too boomy.
HOW MUCH ARE YOU WILLING TO SPEND:
I want to spend less than 700 to get started, if i can upgrade from there, this will be ideal.
I'm thinking keeping the receiver now to keep costs down, and just get speakers all around, then upgrade the receiver and go with subs/amps in the future.
Really not wanting to go crazy modding things to fit different sizes, so get 6x9 for the back, 5 1/4 for the doors, 3.5 for the dash. first...
.......was just going to read reviews on these, but if anyone has a combo to recommend?
Then get a new receiver and amp and subs.
Have a good idea on the receiver, want to get the Pioneer DEH-P47DH, or something else that will fill the whole space.
But no clue on what to do about amps and subs, any ideas?
What size/model # subs should i be looking at?
Same for amps, how many watts, model numbers?
