looking for suggestions on 6.5 speakers and 6x9 speakers
budget is 100 per pair so 200 total but can up my budget if needed.

wont be buying them for probably next week probably but would like to get an idea.

on my last car, bought some pioneer speakers 120 for the pair, worked good but then later on with a aftermarket headunit and volume to medium/high they dont go as loud as they were when i first bought them anymore so upping my budget.

also quick question, i no how to wire amp - sub, how do i wire amp - speakers? how would i run the speaker wires from speakers to amp? (front doors mostly)

what i want:
loud, not really a audiophile so idk wat i want besides clean and loud sound, wont crack if volume is up high.

do you have a 4 channel amp already? if so what model?

or are you just using head unit power?

for wiring:
you'll want to run new speaker wires for all 4 speakers if you are using a 4 channel amp.
for the doors just follow the wiring for the speaker thats already there. its pretty simple to wire them but it can take some time depending on how clean you want the install to be.
do the same thing for the rears. trace the wire as far to the closest spot you can start running new wires.

Ill be buying one according to speakers
But that's a maybe, would like stock headunit power first
Wiring the car speakers looks easy
Any suggestions?


1 more question
For my second (speakers amp)
Can I just make a 3way wire with the battery wire coming from battery to my sub amp?
Aka cut the wire somewhere in between the sub amp and battery wire then put all 3 ends together( sub amp, speaker amp, then to battery?) hopefully u get what I mean
Instead of running 2 different battery wire to the same location?
(Amps will be in trunk)

And I'll look into those Cory, anyone agree with those speakers? Or got different inputs?

And for my budget, is 2way or 3way better?

Subwoofer has turned me on to Rockford Fosgate speakers. :)
He got me some nice ones for $50 a pair, but they aren't nearly as nice as those ones.

Also, for the wire splitting... Use one of these, it will be cleaner.
You can get them all different sizes, this is just the first one google images pulled up :)
That way, you have no bare wires/electrical taped wires out there.

That is exactly what I meant thanks
That way I don't need to spend 2x 30 bucks on the wires lol

2 way. there isn't much of a price cost between them but theres no reason to get a super tweeter. its just another speaker piece that can blow that doesn't really do much for the sound.
