Need Stereo Help, new and stumped Options

[TrdKing]

Ok I went and picked up some 6 1/2" speakers for my celica and came home only to find out about the front being 6 3/4" and the backs 5 1/2"?

What do people actually put in for speakers? size? power? brand?

I bought a decent deck and was just looking for some cheap speakers that sound good to go in with the deck.

After looking at the back speakers is there anyway to actually fit an aftermarket speaker in there they seem to mold to the plastic mounting piece. Could I buy a 5 1/2" and put that in their? Will it require any modification?

I read through the front 6 3/4" inch front speaker install and was wondering is that what everyone is doing? Is it that hard? What about the back?

I bought some Performance Teknique speakers for 150 CAD but they are all 6 1/2"
but heard they arent that great. I am going to bring them back and probably get some panasonic speakers to go with the panasonic deck.

Please help me out I dont want to buy crappy stereo stuff and I would prefer something I can put in myself.

easiest way for you to understand, perhaps, is to simply go shopping. online at crutchfield.com, for example, is a good place because they have lots of pictures and explanations of everything. once you see a component (2 way or 2 way or anything) set and a coaxial (2-way, 3-way, 4-way or otherwise) you'll immediately see the difference.

in fact, here:

coaxial speaker. this one is a 2-way because there is only a woofer and a tweeter


this is a 3-way coaxial (sometimes referred to as a triaxial, but that's not entirely accurate...but nevermind) because it's got the woofer, a tweeter (the smallest one) and also a midrange (the mid-sized one). some 4-ways will add a "supertweeter" to the mix


and here we have a 2-way component set. component because all the components are seperate and two-way because there is only a woofer and tweeter for each side (no midrange). 2-way is "normal". those little boxes you see are crossovers and control what frequencies get sent to which speaker (highs go to tweet, lows go to woofer, super lows get phased out)
