Re: Help with audio system!

the search button is ur friend. please use it. there are plenty of info about this.

as for a short answer:

coupe and sedan use diff speaker sizes.

coupe: front- 6.5 rear-6x9

sedan: front-6.5 rear-6.5

(off the top of my head, correct my if im wrong)


just remember when u get speakers, make sure the dept of the speaker isnt too much because u might not make clearence.


also, make sure u match ur speaker with ur amp so it is not under powered or over powered.

so make sure ur amp is at least/around 75% of ur speaker's capability.

for example:

amp supports up to 75W rms, ur speaker should support 75+ watts of RMS (like 100rms is ideal)


infinity reference series is a good mid range. more output than stock speakers will ever be able to produce. i run infinity KAPPAs which is there higher end. cant go wrong.

Re: Help with audio system!

yeah reference infinity on an amp sounds great for low budget.

Re: Help with audio system!

If you have the budget, I can't stress enough that you will never achieve a "full" sound in your car without a sub.

It doesn't take much (A pair of 8" or a single 10" is often more than enough), but I don't care what kind of door speakers you buy, they cannot produce those low 20-100Hz frequencies. Ever.

It certainly doesn't need to be vibrating the building across the street, but a little boost at the low end will never hurt.
