Speakers for sedan question, advice plz

I have searched and pretty much read every single topic in I.C.E & electrical section of this forum and found nothing,
I just got a Pioneer DEH 3400 head unit and just wanted to know the size of speaker (stock size) for rear and front
for a sedan LX and what do you guys suggest I should buy (Brand and model) I am in a very limited budget so a little
bit better than the stock is fine. nothing fancy.... just speakers and to be powered only by this head unit, under 100$ for
a pair the cheaper the better under 80$ ???, I hope thanks in advance for ur time [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

I'm with him. Zipties are icky. atleast get osme wood and ct your own spacers out or maybe get those little nylon spacers that they have at hardware stores to move them out a little more.

Not without a LOT of modification to the rear deck. The opening for the 6.5" rears is pretty tight. It COULD probably be done, with some cutting of the deck, but why do all of that modification just for Rear fill? Waste of time, IMHO. Most people will tell you that you can actually do without rear speakers if you have a quality set of front components and subs.

Not worth the trouble to try and mod for 6x9's. After all the money spent just to mod the back deck and mount speakers, you could buy better quality 6 1/2 fo the same price and not trouble with all that work. Just my 2 cents. As for answering the question on topic, your best bet would be to go to a store and listen to each speaker set. Whatever spearers sound the best to you will always be the right choice. If you search good enough online you can get really good speakers, I mean top brands and top sounds for great prices. Be pacient ith your sounds cause there is always something going to be better looking to you everytime you search. Good Luck.

6 1/2 components Infinity Kappas front
6 1/2 3 ways Infinity Kappas back
My speakers (Highs) set up.
