What size are the speakers in the front door panels? And how many watts should I get? I'm pretty sure anykind of aftermarket speakers has to be better then whats in there now.

Thanks

4"x6" do you have an aftermarket cd player? Most speakers that size are about the same watts. I have panasonic in mine.

Yeah, I have a 200 watt JVC CD player. I still don't know how many watts to get though for the front speakers. I just don't want anything to blow because it's too much or not sound good because it's too low. I know nothing about the whole audio thing...sorry If it seems like a dumb question.hehe..

Thanks again.

If your Deck is 200 watts, then any speakers that you get shouldnt blow, im getting clarions for myself, but there are alpine, Infinity, Rockford Fosgate... depends on how much you want to spend for the quality of sound, but most of these brand speakers wont blow, they have a peak handling of 100+ watts each...

Find some one to hook you up at best buy or circuit city with their discount. The mark up on car audio is crazy. I bought about 500 dollars worth of speakers and a cd palyer for about $220. I have alpine type r's on the rear deck. Infinitys are good also. the higher end of rockfords. Like lefix said, its all about how much money you want to spend.

I have Infinity 6x9s on my rear deck and Infinity 4x6s in the door. They sound really good until i get to the high end. So i bought new speakers and when i redo my interior ill be replacing these speakers with Hifonics 6x9s and Hifonics 6 1/2s for the doors.

Like it has been stated above me, 4x6's in the front and 6x9's in the back

the pioneers have a greater frequency range- so they are "able" to play more sound - both brands offer the same sensativity, so one pair wont be any louder than the other

i would go with those between the two - and dont worry about blowing them even with an aftermarket deck. they dont put out that much power (look for "rms" power)
they should have the aftermarket speaker adaptor plates at best buy - so you "could" fit 6 1/2 inch speakers which would give you much cleaner sound

I wouldnt suggest 4x6 for the front, they are CRAP size speakers, you should do a 6.5 round in the front and 6x9 in the back...

i actually got the 15 dollar bracket for the front doors that switches the size of your speakers... oddly enough ive yet to hear anyone on hear with the same size. the bracket switched the 4x6's to 5 1/4's...

im using energy audio. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10088309&catid= .. they are pretty sick with the whole woven fiber cones make and everything... sound great and i actually mounted my tweeters in a seperate spot... if i showed a pic ( i will soon) im sure you would all laugh... simply because i didnt want to drill so i mounted them on the inside where the side mirrors are... i slid the round encloser that sticks out of the triangular piece there and stock the screw threw this mount that came with the tweeters... ran the wires through this and i was set... lol i dont mind the look but its not for everyone...

anyways i couldnt agree more with the mark up of car audio... the installer at futureshop showed me a cougar that they were working on. guy works at futureshop so got a discount. has retail=$25 000 instal for only about $10 000 at cost.

DeadBlade89

08-13-2007, 12:01 AM

u can put 6 1/2" speakers.

Mangoamerican

08-13-2007, 12:10 AM

yeah... 6 1/2 components in the front, 8's and 6 1/2's in the rear deck... get yourself a nice 4 channel

If I get the 6.5 I am assuming I need the brackets,where can I get those and how much do they cost? I found some speakers at BestBuy heres the link..let me know If these will fit.

here is a link for the adaptors http://www.crutchfield.com/S-XSUZMYAlxGF/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=103200&I=120823300

you could get speakers from this same company.. .. they are pretty reasonable!

Alright,thanx for letting me know. Another question I have is..when I get my new'Polk' speakers installed(everyone says thats a good brand) how can I get them to stick outside the door panel? Please be very descriptive.

you want your speakers to stick outside of your door panel?
is that so you can see them? i dont understand what you mean

DeadBlade89

if you want them to stick outside the door panel so you can see them, you need to know how to work w/ fiberglassing. I know nothing on that, so I dont know what to tell you.

Yeah, so that I can see them but If it's too hard I wont do it. I might do more harm then good. I'll just leave them alone.

Mangoamerican

08-14-2007, 02:08 PM

yeah, id leave that alone, to get it to look right, you would either have to make some pods with abs, or you could sand then paint your door panels, and fiber some pods. either situation, you are going to have alot of work to do, and really isnt worth it if you just want sounds.

o question, i havnt really dug into tearing apart my cars door panels but i plan on puttin in my new speakers tomorrow, and i wanna know if you know what ya gotta do to pop off the manual window handle, just pop it off with a screw driver or wut, i dont wanna break it- other than that its just the lil buzz darts i believe? help me if u can!

DeadBlade89

theres a thing thats made for getting manual window handles off. check ur local auto store for one.

becuz what it is, is a clip back there holding it on. so that thing allows the clip to just pop off. maybe 2 screwdrivers would work, idk, never tried it. ive alwayz had the thing meant for that purpose.

Mangoamerican

08-15-2007, 01:29 AM

there is a clip, it fits in the plastic handle, on the back side, and clips into the rod that sticks out of the door, the tool looks like a u
you could use something fairly thin to pop one side off, then work the other side, but be aware that it is pretty much flush against the "body" of the handle... so you will need something straight - thin and flat on the edge
