I'm a big Audio freak! Thats what I'm going to school for, to be an Audio Engineer! I hope to do audio on major motion pictures. But as far as my car, I love the clean sounds...hmmm.

i love audio nice clean sounds

i think the factory jbl speaker system is pretty clean, i can just imagine how great your car sounds!

one of the guys in work played w/ my radio and had too much fun w/ the equalizer and bass...sounds nice tho! i think I need to upgrade w/ some new speakers or something..make it better!

any suggestions, blaze, or anyone else who is an audio fanatic?

(i probably won't do it, but it's a fun idea to entertain!)

by **Blaze** » Wed Sep 11, 2002 12:43 pm

well if ur gonna upgrade ur speakers, u should upgrade ur radio too, the stock radio wont have enuf power to drive good quality speakers, you might also need an amp to power them, its a costly investment. I dont even wanna think about how much ive spent on audio stuff for my car, well over 2k. For the front i suggest a component set, depending on ur budget it can vary from like $150 to over $500, I just bought infinity kappas, that normally would cost 300 but i got em for 150 off ebay,

the rear you can get any 6x9's since you wont really hear the rear speakers as much i got those pioneer 6999's they have a horn tweeter for better highs and a good woofer for bass response, but if you wanna go for a budget set up try getting a radio for like $150, fron components for around $100 rear 6x9s for under $100 and an amp to power them
heres a setup i found that you can do for under $600

Infinity Reference 6x9's $62 100 watts RMS

Infinity Reference 6.5 Component set $105 90 watts RMS

Pioneer P4400 Head Unit $149
