CHANGER CONTROL

SOUND CONTROL
- AMPLIFIER
- S-MOSFET Output Power: 52W x 4

Can someone help me decide what specs (rating, size, etc.) of front and rear speaker will I buy?

And also I'm planning to add an amplifier and a sub in the future. What specs of ampli and subs will I look into in buying?

By the way I have an AVEO '04

Thanks in advance

I've got good success with Memphis Audio front speakers and Rockford Fosegate Iceman subs and Eclipse amp in my old car

[aveosummit]

Pyramid front
Pyle Blue Wave subs
Lanzar and Sony amps
have worked well for me

I have 4'' infinity speakers in the front and 4x6'' infinity plate speakers in the rear(these are the same size than the originals)
My sub is an Alpine 12'' type S, both amps are Alpine too
sounds good, clear and loud enough

I second this. I too have Infinity Kappa's all-round and they are amazing! Cant go wrong.

4" Pionner front and 4x9 Pionner in the rear, Alpine 12" Sub with Alpine amp... No amp on the speakers my deck pushes 60 watts per channel. Its loud enough lol. Might change speakers this summer tho since i just got those from Canadian tire lol! Might go with high end Pionner or Infinity

Are you amping just the sub or the speakers too? If you aren't amping the speakers than I wouldn't waste too much money on them, just decent pioneers or maybe even lightning audio(they will surprise you for the price). Type of sub and amp depends on what you are looking for in your bass, sound quality or spl? Also how much are you looking to spend?

This is a decent sub for sound quality and it hits pretty hard also. www.cardomain.com/item/POLMM2104

match ithe sub with something like this amp maybe better to bridge a 2channel amp though

Compared to stock? Keep in mind which alot of people dont take into consideration is that the stock speakers usually are "full range" speakers. Aftermarket speakers, at least at the size of ours(4"and below) are going to be more of just highs, and little to no lows. So yes they will be louder and ALOT cleaner and precise, but if you dont have anything to bring up the lows, you may be disappointed. I experienced this when I upgraded my speakers in my Probe.

[Denis]

oh, i see, so im not going to upgrade them untill i can get a good sub.

I like JL Audio. Im going to get the XR series components cost about $350-$400 USD, I was quoted at $350 front and $325 rear. I amost did but I decided to buy a CF hood and slotted rotors.

[Blade979]

jeez...$675 Thats nuts! I spent $140 for my Kappa's all-round brand new. Too rich for my blood. But if you got it....why not.

[aveoike]

Well, I am JL all the way. I have be into audio for about 9 years and I always go for that brand. I wish they would start making head units, then I could have a whole JL system. But for now I have just my clarion. Theres a few things I like that is not JL, I like eclipse for subs and MB Quartz for mids and highs but that orange juice is even more expensive.

[aveoike]

Oh and 675 for the speakers.... aint nothin, the ZR series run a grand and MB's run way over a grand. and the amp I want. I got hook ups, so I got a quote for 800 but they usually run 1200. Its the JL 500/5
