Okay update finally :squint:

Headunit, sub and amp are in! The sound is amazing! My neighbor suggested that I should upgrade my speakers so the bass doesn't take over the sound.

I just wanna upgrade the stock speakers to something better, what are good brands for speakers? and what sizes are we limited to?

You can adjust the Sub level on that H/U i have mine a -3 :chuckle:
Also you can set the High pass filter up so the speaker only plays the highs and mids.
You can do the same for the sub. I suggest you keep it at a Low Hertxz for the sub.
Door speakers are 6.5's
Rear deck is 6x9's
:help:

I'm biased. So Kicker=no bueno.
And forgot to mention the fronts should be component speakers.
I'm using a JBL GTO in the rear and i really liked them. I need to replace them soon. so quality is so so.
Fronts im using Boston Acoustics components. Dont remember which but they were around 400 bucks :confused:

Unless you are a for real audiophile (which I dont think you are), you dont have to go crazy with component speakers. Anything is going to be a noticeable upgrade from stock.

Yeaah I'm not going for DJ status like he said lol. Might look into alpine/pioneer speakers then, and thanks for the heads up!

Huh? My system really isnt special at all speaker wise. In fact, I went with 3 way Kicker component speakers because I got them dirt cheap when I used to work at Best Buy part time. Obviously in a different situation I would have gone a different route, but at the time it was the best option for what I could afford.

Are you going to amp the components or just run them off the increased power from the new headunit?

By DJ status I meant something very loud/expensive lol. Not my fault you have "DJ" in your name!

And I dunno if I'm going to get another amp, it's probably better but we'll see.

I used to have infinity kappas in the back doors of my old sedan but they were far too harsh after a long period of loud volumes. I went with alpine type r's in the front doors and the silk tweeters mounted up high sounded great all day.

I dunno if Alpine is overpriced or it's really that good lol. I've searched a couple of audio forums and I don't see anyone talking about Alpine systems. Makes me don't want to buy it, but at the same time it's one of the biggest names out there :confused:

"audio pros" frown upon kicker, infinity, and alpine or most major name brands.
They usually dont settle for audio equipment you can buy at Best Buy :rolleyes: .
look up reviews online or at :couch Crutchfield.
I can assure you anything you decide to upgrade to will be sufficient.

No it's not really that good but it's a huge upgrade over stock equipment and you can get some good clean signals and loud volumes without distortion. Really I don't plan on buying much alpine stuff in the future but I'm happy with their amps and their subs. I'm going with a slightly different door setup that I think will really blow most things outta the water for the price.

HA alrightyyyyyy

I'm gonna use a planet audio 3 way electronic crossover and try out some silverflute 6.5 drivers along with a couple SEAS Prestige tweets.

I can run everything off my current amps and gain a ton of control over all of the component crossover points.. minus the rear 6x9s which will be HU powered and not a huge concern.

Couple the new components with some well-deadened and sealed doors and it should sound really great.

H/U and amp setting aren't enough.

Looks like we got ourselves a Pioneer Fan Boy, boys.
Pioneer H/U and speakers... Do they come with a free T-shirt or hat? :chuckle:
JK bro!!
The rears are a breeze to install, I recommend you do it yourself!
Fronts, well you might need help. IF you mount the tweeters where the factory dash speakers are (Which is what i did) and you can stash those crossovers in the dash.
