      speakers are plug and play if you know how to strip and properly attach wires, take door panels off etc. you can also order some sound deadening mats to cover the doors, that makes a HUGE difference

      as for the skar subs, they'll definitely sound better than the pioneer but you know how it is with audio, the difference might not be enough for you to care/notice and they require a bunch more steps in installation since they have separate amps, the dual 12" might draw too much power and you have to figure out which amp would pair best with it so I would advise you go with the single 12" or another kit that comes with a matching amp

      the stock alternator does a little under 1kw peak output so I wouldnt try pulling more than 400w, keep it under 30A/10AWG wiring
      Hey, installed the stereo today and found out my friend had one of these lying around:
      Would this be okay in my car? Also would it shake the fuck out of my car (I want it to)

      Anyways, next step: speakers!!!
      I was looking at crutchfield too at my car and the required equipment needed to install aftermarket ones and was wondering if you could help verify

      So, crunchfield says I will need to use a drill on the rivets to remove factory speakers.
      Then I will have to buy this


      I was reading in a comment section of a speaker upgrade of this car that this guy just cut the wires off the old speakers and used something like a butt connector to put them on the new speaker wires. Do you think I should do that or buy the wiring harness?

      Crunchfield told me to buy these to install
      My question about the second one is I thought the speakers already came in mounting brackets

      I looked up sound deadening too and it does seem pretty easy to do so I will consider doing it too :D It looks like a lot of people deaden more than just their doors but is just putting it on the doors okay? And do you have any good inexpensive recommondatioons for mats? And how much would it cost to cover all my doors?
      edit: looks to be around $400 ish so will probably hold off on that :(

      Well thats all for today thank you :)

      if he can also find you a matching amp that'd be the perfect sub, it'll shake your car and every car around it at a stop light

      only way to verify is taking the door panels off, its a 20yo car so chances are you wont find the stock speakers if they still sound any good

      mounting equipment is more of a preference, the JBL speakers you went with come with brackets but they're 6.5" and stock brackets are for 5.25" I think, rears are 6.5" stock

      you can use butt connectors, solder, premade harnesses, etc. or just strip it bare and wrap it around the terminals, up to you

      sound deadening mats are basically all the same, amazon has their own brand now and so far its as good as any other I've tried and usually cheaper, covering the doors alone makes the most difference, floor panels also quite significant, beyond that you're at diminishing returns
