Hi guys, In have recently purchased my first Celice. It's a 1995 GT 2.0L. laugh.gif

I have installed a Pioneer head unit and Multi Changer, and now want to put some descent speakers in to get the best from my music. biggrin.gif

I would prefer to continue to use Pioneer, but am not adversed to another make for the speakers. wink.gif

Firstly, do you know what sizes both the front door and rear passenger panel speakers are so I can buy and install the same day? kindasad.gif

Secondly, do any of you have a suggestion of a speaker model to use, I don't want to install seperate tweeters or a Bass box, as I will want to sell in the future? tongue.gif

Cheers

Guys, I´ve also changed stock sound, currently I´m playing with JVC head unit, front compo system is from ///Alpine Type S (basic but tweeters are good) and sub Helix P10 in closed baffle-board. These hang on Audison SRx 4 (means 2x 50W for speakers and 1x 170 W for sub - this is way too low but new apm will come soon just for sub - at least 500W RMS should be fine).

First thing I´ve made - new cables for amp, power on left side from battery to the amp :




Two pairs of RCA´s on right side to avoid interference :




Back seats were removed to have better access, rear speakers were just removed, I´ll have nothing there :



After this I´ve put some "sikadamp" damping on the front doors, made wooden adapters for speakers, made 15-l baffle board for subwoofer and installed amp. Pics will follow later, currently I have to finish position of tweeters and find some better place for amp.

Sound is good but amp for woofer is not sufficient, also unfortunately mids are kind of low but I´ll work on it (new head unit is needed). Maybe I´ll change also front speakers and will add processor .. once you´re in sound madness, you cannot stop. laugh.gif laugh.gif biggrin.gif
