questions about new owners stereo

[perna00]

well, i ended up getting the 01 gt spyder. i payed 18.5 but only because it was bought at the dealer and traded in at the dealer by a 35 year old woman. the records were still on file. it had every option: leather, 17''s, convertible boot. . . it only has 18520 miles and doesn't have a single flaw. i'm sure some will still say i got ripped off.

. . . any ways. it has the 4 disc changer in dash by infinity. i see that there is 2 tweeters, a center speaker, and 2 rear speakers. i was thinking about changing decks but i'm afraid i'll lose the top dash display and the center speaker. i think the factory speaker sound decent but there's no bass. maybe i could just attach a converter to the rear speakers with the stock deck to add an amp and a sub or two. so in all honestly, how good is the infinity setup in my car and what do you think i should replace or add? btw, does my car have an amp already in it for the factory setup?

yes swap it out it sounds alot better. The amp is under the passenger seat

I kept everything in my GS and just added two 10's! That gave me the bass that i wanted, and with my amp i was able to adjust it to what i wanted. Now mine sounds really good with everything stock! I even had a custom box installed in my spare tire well! It looks sweet and sounds great!!

i think i'll go that route with keeping the stock setup because i want to keep the clock/reout of the stereo up on the dash plus i don't want to have to mess with the 7 speakers if i change out the amp. i'm trying to decide now if i want to try to make a really small box for the trunk (very, very small cause it's a convertible) or make one for the tire well.

There's a factory amp in the 2001 eclipse? or is it only in the spyder? I have a 2001 GT. Anywho Stereo sounds good for me with the infinity, but i think i might have already blown the back speakers! i bought it in march and they were fine...too much loud music must have blown them. the passenger rear is where the slight ping/pop noise is coming from
