If you'll be powering them with stock headunit, depending on the quality of speakers, you might hear 10% - 20% improvment. The stock speakers are worth $5 and cheaply made. Using an external amp is the best way to maximize your investment. Not only will the sound be more clear, it'll distort less at high volume. |

Bronze Member Username: Solo67042Post Number: 39 Registered: Apr-07 | my rear speakers came with a stock amp. its the upper end gm stereo i guess and i realize its most likely crap but should i keep the amp in the back or should i just hook the speakers up right to the head unit? |

Post Number: 283 Registered: Jan-06 | After reading your first post, here is what I would do: Purchase a set of Infinity 6010cs speakers for you front door. You can get them at a decent price off ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Infinity-Reference-6010cs-6-1-2-Component-Speakers_W0QQi temZ270112247345QQihZ017QQcategoryZ32819QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem In order to get the most out of these speakers as well as most other after-market speakers, you will need an amp for them. Just go on ebay and get a nice two channel for them. http://cgi.ebay.com/Rockford-Fosgate-PUNCH-P325-2-amplifier-325-WATTS-RMS_W0QQit emZ130102672979QQihZ003QQcategoryZ39732QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem As far as the rear speakers, no need to change them out. Keep the stock speakers and if you feel that they are affecting your sound quality, disconnect them. The Infinity speakers will set you back about $100 and the amp will set you back about $100. You will also need an amp kit, but that only costs around $15. For $215 you're looking at a great sounding speaker system!! |
