Sound system Options

[mikecelica]

Currently I have a sony xplod deck, sony 800w amp and single 12" sony sub 1300w, and stock 4 speaker system. The sub is kinda blown, the bass is not clean and distorted when you turn it up. So what Im thinking is replace the current sony sub with another 12" and then replace the 2 door stock speakers and the 2 rear seat stock speakers with aftermarket ones. But what size is a direct replacement for both the front door speakers and the rear seat speakers? And what company should I get the new sub and speakers? I have max of $200 to spend on both the new sub and all 4 new speakers and i dont want any used stuff, learned my lesson once. any help is appreciated. thanks

i have a 94ST and have removed my front speakes for a future install. i'm waiting for the new imagedynamics 8s to come out.

anyway, the front speakers are 6 1/2s mounted into a metal ring piece that is 8 inches which is connected to a plastic housing type piece that is bolted to the metal frame of the inner door. you can remove the plastic housing piece then remove the speaker from it to make installing easier. or if you want to go with 8s up front, you can then remove the metal ring piece from the plastic housing then use MDF to adapt the new speaker to the plastic housing.

the rears are 6 1/2 and would be an easy drop in install.

you could get a set of JBL GTOs for the front and a JBL GTO sub for less tha $200 from Crutchfield and just keep the stock rears for now, and you'd hear a vast improvement. cheers
