[DrewsCam]

Hi, i got subs now its time to update the interior speakers

I was gonna go with pioneer

i was gonna by on ebay, and get another amp for the speakers
like a 1,000 watt 4ch amp

the front doors are 6 3/4, not 3.5

The best way to decide is to go to a retailer and listen, then check eBay or online for the best prices. Pioneer is very good for the money. I personally run Alpine Type S for 6x9's (came with the car, very nice sound) and Infinity Reference components up front (very laid back, silk tweeters, I got these on eBay for $45!). I could recommend speakers all day, but it really comes down to what your ears (and wallet) tell you.

And also if that "1000 watt" 4-channel amp is made by Pyramid, Pyle, Legacy, Cuspid, etc, then it is no where near 1000 watts. A flea-market 1000 watt amp, when tested the same way as a better quality amp, will put out around 200 watts or so. If you need a cheap amp go with JBL or Lanzar, they're very hard to beat for the money. Sony and Pioneer amplifiers have reliability issues and are also somewhat overrated, although not nearly as much as the cheaper stuff on eBay.

Oh and what do you need 99 speakers for? That's alot of speakers to fit in a Camry!

[culmbn]

is there anyway to mount 6.5 in the rear door?

Thanks for ur info, so legacy is crap
i got a 600 watt 2ch for my subs, maybe thats why they dont sounds as good as they could be.

does anybody no what the stock speakers put out, and what i would like to hear is crisp sounds no distortion at high volumes, and money is not that important i would pay for quality

In my '94 with the premium Eclipse sound system they were around 15 watts per channel, the speakers were all paper cone, and I don't think they've changed them much since then.

For the best sound you should sound deaden (AKA dynamat) the doors, or at least the area around the speakers. Fatmat is a good brand to go with, it can be found on eBay.

If you want to go all out on the speakers, Kicker Resolution RS6 would be a nice choice, or CDT CL-61's. theZeb.com has the CDT's for $150, a definite steal. Anything from MB Quart, Eclipse, or Infinity would also be a great choice, as far as specific models, it's mostly a matter of preference. I can't emphasize eneough that they should be listened to first. Having good quality speakers that you paid good money for but don't like the sound of because it's not detailed eneough, or overly shrill, or excessively harsh is no fun.

Then I'd recommend running 50-75 watts RMS per side to the front speakers from a good quality amp. I put my amps under the front seats, but had to remove the rear heat ducts to do so.

Then it's all about proper installation and aiming. If the car came with seperate tweeters from the factory that may be a good place to put the new ones, otherwise you'll get the best imaging by placing them as far down and forward as you can without them getting in the way of anything or vice versa.

A good place for opinions and answers to car audio questions is SoundDomain. You may want to browse around there for a while to get some ideas.

check out my sound system, www.sounddomain.com/id/battlekat49 if you want clarity from your inside speakers i recommend boston acoustic. jl audio and eclipse are great as well, and also give you a little more bass, especially the jl (in terms of 6x9's) i cant remember who just mentioned it but the flea market amps are crap because they boast 1000 watts but when you read the specs its really just 200 x 2 channels or something.
