New Sound System

[Zeifer]

Well, down the road I plan on upgrading my 2001 Cavalier coupe's horrid stock sound system. I'm just looking for input on how I would go about building a custom trunk subwoofer enclosure and how to put a 6 inch speaker into the 4x6 area in the doors. I'm looking at JL Audio for subs, speakers, and amps. Also, what size are the rear speakers?

Somewhere you could buy brackets for a 5 or 6 inch round speaker for the front panels, I'll have to find the link, but making some up yourself wouldnt be too difficult. And the rear deck speakers are 6x9s. I can't help you with Subs. I've never done anything with them. Never seemed worth it to me when I did my old Cavy's sound system and I haven't touched the premium sound system that came in my new one.

Check out www.crutchfield.com
They have all you need to upgrading your system and they actually have those brackets here- http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...0823300&tp=919

Thanks for the link. I'm gonna buy the highest quality stuff I can, little by little. Seems like a better idea than buying a bunch of stuff that's cheap. Still have no clue on how to build a subwoofer box though. I'll search it later, just finished fixing my car today.

Well they sell Sub boxes and kits on crutchfield too check it out. And good luck.

Yeah, I've seen them, but I'd like a layout where I can have the amps flush with none to minimal wire exposure.

For putting the 6s in the doors. You can get adapters but for a better sound out of the speaker I would recomend making a baffle out of MDF.

Another option that I did is to use the door panel itself and mount to that. I bought a sheet of ABS plastic and used that to cover the stock grills and mounted the speaker to that. Put a ring of MDF behind the panel to hold the speaker better. I plan on putting an 8" in my doors shortly after christmas if the weather allows it. Also for prices check out this site.

if I can ask. what is your budget. What is your overall goal? Getting loud, or good sound quality.

here are some websites for you.
