Speakers and radio for my hatch

[mudvayne9790]

So tomorrow i think im gonna go get these speakers and radiohttp://www.walmart.com/catalog...31485do u think ill have a problem installing them into my hatch 240?or if anyone have any suggestions for other speakers and radio for around $100

[zerepdivad]

The deck will fit just fine but the speakers are not the factory size for an s13. You've got 4x6" speakers all around. They make adapter plates online for 6.5"s though. None for 6x9's that i'm aware of.

[mudvayne9790]

yea thats what i thought i guess im gonna have to buy the speakers seperate from the deck damn >.< it was a good dealanyone have any suggestions?

[P_856]

you can fit the 6x9s if you mount them directly to the door panel with some trimming i think should should just get a better deck tho walmart doesnt sell great audio stuff just save up and get a decent alpine or pioneer u should be about to find one around the 150ish range

[Hoffman5982]

you get what you pay for. like P_856 said, save for an alpine or pioneer. Id get an alpine because even the cheapest model has great quality sound compared to pioneer. for speakers, save up for some components. they are a world of difference compared to coaxials. I promise. good luck

[mudvayne9790]

what are the size of the speakers in the doors?their not 4x6 are they?

I think i said this on someone else's thread, but if your car is a coupe, you can make wooden bezels... like this, it'll probly even work on a hatch, but i don't own one so idk:It allows you to just cut up the liner that goes on top of the metal framing, and it lifts the speakers up just enough to clear the metal framing... works great too.

$90 for 4 speakers AND headunit? i don't expect that to sound very good at all - in fact I wouldn't expect it to be any better than stock..

like everyone said - i'd save for something better. and for the rears - in my hatch I have the little thin cover thing that you could make a mount for 6x9's in the back - just be careful about weight, i'd be afraid it might buckle because there's nothing supporting it underneath.

[zach-Ka]

They actually sound very good. You are gonna want a sub because there is no base to them at all.

[heartofaskyline]

pawn shop. you can get high end stuff for probably the same price

[mudvayne9790]

ok thanks for the feedback guysi do believe that u get what u pay for so i decided to look for some better quality. im thinking this deck http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Pi...32582these speakers for the back so they can fit into the stock locationhttp://www.bestbuy.com/site/Pi...08361then idk what speakers in the front >.< maybe the same ones?im planning on getting the deck and the front speakers first then the back speakers when i get some more money then a sub later on

yea lol sorry im a little slow with the front size that does help a lot thanks i think i will get some 6 1/2 then. Back to do more searching

[nitsujvg]

they make adapters for the rear too - just to let you know. i've heard they don't fit quite as well though.

[Gcustoms]

i've got 6x9's in my doors, the guy who put them in used a custom made "adapter" out of wood. but it works.

[Hoffman5982]

do NOT get that headunit. I work at best buy and I mess with the stereos when it gets slow, and thats one of the worst quality ones we have. if you can afford 80 now, save up to like 120 or 150 and get a decent one. the headunit plays a major role in sound quality so dont cheap out on it. and visit bestbuy. look around. I picked up an alpine ida-x200 for 100 bucks open box. you'd be surprised what you can find sometimes

cool thanks for the heads upthat one does look good only problem is i dont have an ipod lol but i could always use a usb hmmm do u know if i could hook up a zune?

[zerepdivad]

^ only through auxilary. I don't believe at this time that any aftermarket radio can interface with the zune through usb.

[Hoffman5982]

that just shows how awesome the zune is. f microsoft

Yeah this headunit is a POS. I have an Alpine IVA-W505 with JL Audio VR650-CSi and JL Audio VR690-CXi speakers in my Accord. My w505 stop reading CDs, so I sent it out to get repaired. I got that Pioneer to use in the interim and it sounded like poop. I was better off using a little boombox in the car.
