Rdrckt_92 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 ok, I am looking for some new speakers to replace the old tired ones that are in them now. I'm not looking for anything crazy, and nothing insanely expensive, I was thinking something like this: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069898_191756446,00.html or this:http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069904_168472238,00.html I kinda want to stick with pioneer because I have had nothing but good expierences with their products, but am not totally against any others. Does anyone have/had these speakers, what do you all use? Any opinions/advice is welcome. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 IMO, for the retail price your going to spend on a set of 6x9's, i'd replace your front speakers first. Your rear speakers are nothing but rear fill, and thats it. Anything you hear behind you is in mono, whereas anything you hear on the sides or in front of you is in stereo. Why have the best speakers in the rear if your not truly hearing everything it's doing? But... if your set on blowing lots of money on a set of 6x9's, I'd go with something like JBL, Polk, Focal, Clif Designs, or MB Quart. Something along those lines is far superior to Pioneer, and can be found much cheaper than the prices in those above links online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdrckt_92 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 what size are the front speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Do you have dash or door speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven_S Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 4x6" for the door and dash, 6x9" in the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yes, very true, but I'm more interested as to which he has. If he has door speakers, he can modify the stock mount to fit a set of 5.25" components for sure, and possibly even 6.5" components(which would be even better).

Rdrckt_92 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I have dash speakers, none in the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 I'd run new speaker lines to the doors, and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Put some 6.5"s in your doors. Here's some pics of Infinity co-ax I got off ebay that I put in my old 88 GP. Nevermind the riced out painted doors . They had 4x6 in the stock location, which I had to hack up the doors a bit to make them fit, but definatly was worth it. 4x6s sound like ass, doesn't matter what brand you buy. In my 95 I have 5.25" Infinity components and I like them very much. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/canadianbadass2k/1988%20GP%20SE/ed278e78.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v142/canadianbadass2k/1988%20GP%20SE/547630be.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdrckt_92 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 did 91-93 gps come with door speakers from the factory? if so I would like to find new door panels that already have speakers and then upgrade those, I need to replace my door panels anyway so this would make sense.

Steven_S Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I doubt that the speakers will be mounted to the panel. they would be mounted in the door, low enough to let the window go all the way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I doubt that the speakers will be mounted to the panel. they would be mounted in the door, low enough to let the window go all the way down. They are actually mounted on plastic mounts about halfway up the door, below the window switches. The speaker's themselves never see the inside of the actually door. The door panels on these cars are humongous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Another brand to mention is Infinity. You can get their Reference Series for half the price of those Pioneers and they will sound better IMO. or if you want to spend $$, you can get their Kappa series which are awesome. check out this website for lots of brands and really good prices. http://www.ikesound.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Infinity isn't bad, definately better than Pioneer. But, any of the brands I listed above, is again, much much better than Infinity or Pioneer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
