Ready for set up, need suggestions/tweaks

Sup guys, after lurking and gather some info i think i've come to a reasonable set up for my 1988 Gen 2 4dr Camry. I still need opnions though, heres what i had in my mind.

Head Unit: Alpine CDE-9845 or CDA-9847 (if noticable difference over CDE 9845) or Pioneer DEH 4700, I can get the Pioneer DEH 4700 for around 20 bucks cheaper than the CDE. I can't decide between them. Price = Pioneer DEH --> ALpine CDE --> Alpine CDA in increasing order. Is there noticable sound quality over those 3?



Speakers: I'm going for Co-axials as I'm not keeping this car for a long time (1-2 years) so they'll do just fine.

Stock dash speakers are 3 1/2" so I figure i'll replace them with Alpine Type S SPS-130A speakers.


Rear deck = 5 1/4" but 88LE (i think) said that I could fit in 6 1/2" speakers no problem, So I was thinking of going for Alpine Type S SPS 170A.



So yeah, thats what I had in mind, critique please!

Should sound ok. If you were wanting a big improvement over what you have picked out, kickpods or door panel pods would be the way to go, to use a bigger mid up front.

there's no point of putting in any front speakers if you have em there already leave em alone the rears will take 6.5' with some spacer.. i have a 1988 camry too. better off getting some tweeters and shove em in the door panel or something if you want any sound in the fronts

Or...buy my door pods that will take either a 6-7" speaker.
