4 New speakers

hi guys. I have a Clarion DXZ555 receiver with 54 wattx4 built in amp. right now i have my stock speakers on a Buick park avenue 94. The sound quality is OK, but when i put the speakers too loud, the sound is rly distorted, it gets all fudged up.

I want to get two 6x9 speakers in the rear deck (the size of the stock ones) and 2 5.250" speakers in the front doors. I am mostly looking for sub capabilites because i listen to rock, hard rock and metal. And i am not buying real subs, so.. Any suggestions? Should i buy an amp to power those 4 speakers?

Buy an amp and probably for the front everyone will tell you to get a component set. And for the rear just about anything will do since you don't really stay back there if you are driving.

Whats a component set?? Whats the difference between that and a 5 1/4 speaker that should fit in my car?

As for the back.. thats what will do most of the bass so..

As for an amp, i dont have money for that now, but i might buy one later.

component set is a sepearte driver and tweeter.

Don't listen to him, if you go cheap (like i did) and get a crap set for the rear your sound stage will be fucked.

You need an amp for your door speakers(im runing mine off my headunit right now, sound's like SHIT)

I was just saying that your rear won't cost as much as the front. Just take the price of a component set versus a good set of 6x9's. The components will cost more than the 6x9's.

Why not buy a normal 5 1/4 speaker for the front doors, i dont wanna make costum fittings.

You can. you just won't get the same sound quality. Today, I was actually wondering if places like best buy and other places that do installs will install component sets...

You already did the right thing as far as upgrading with limited resources.
You should go in this order, head, speakers, amp(s), sub.
The differences every step of the way will be very noticeable and worth it...

Ok. Im am going to buy 4 speakers. 2x 5 1/4 and 2x 6x9

I am thinking of sony's explode series, or pioneer. Am i on the right track?

Explode is garbage...simple as that.
If they're your only choices, which Pioneers are you feeling...??

I was thinking of Pioneer 6" x 9" Car Speakers (TS-G950M)

anything you can buy at walmart is junk.

than could you guys give me a suggestion? I dont have a big budget, but i can spend up to 100$ on those rear speakers and 100$ on the front, so give me the best buy for that price.

two sets of those, there alright for the money (i have a set in my front doors), and you could run them off the HU untill you have get a amp for them (don't expect full potential of them from the headunit though)

If you wanna go with Pioneer, you can find these on thier website.

What about non component speakers, i do not favor any brand. Which one would u go with?

For your range...
Pioneer
Polk
Infinity
and I saw a pair from Boston too...

look on ebay for MB Quarts there relatively cheap and they are much better than brands like pioneer, infinity is better than pioneer and really good priced on ebay but there highs are kind of harsh IMO. Look around for what you can afford dont any off brands that over rate there stuff cause they usually sound like ass.

You should save the $100 from the back, and use it on the front. If you get something like this: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2949, which is only a bit over your budget, dont buy the rear, and save up for an amp later, you will have much better sound then if you bought 4 mediocre speakers. I listen to alot of heavy metal too, and trust me, having a good set of components really brings out each aspect of the music. The drums, guitars, vocals, all jumps out at you. I have no rear speakers at all, and a CDT Classic 6.5 components up front. They are pretty powerful so you dont even need rear fill.
