In a car I'd say forget the rears and get a nice set of speakers on an amp up front. Then get subs. The volume and SQ will be pretty kick ***.

Look at my website to see both my systems in my Civic and my Ranger.

im getting 6 diamond 12" subs, custom built fiberglass box, 3 hifonics 'zeus' amps, cap, fold out touchscreen cd/dvd/navagation head unit, and a cap put in my 94 eclipse. my buddy has a new car audio shop and he's gettin me a good deal for competitions. its pretty much a show car for his business.

I got 2 15'' 800 series Alphasonik's, with a 2500watt class D amp all in a fiberglass enclosure with a alpine touch screen TV in my F-150.

From what I was told in the beginning of my car stereo journey is never buy 6x9's! Get either 5.5's or 6.5's instead! They can handle the power better and sound better too! and they were right:D For your basic car stereo (plain jane, just want to listen to music) then 6x9's are fine but when your adding alot of power ect....6x9's are not the way to go. To every competition I've been to, I've never seen 6x9's in a auto???

ive got alpine head unit, bazoka 12" p miller series sub, 500 amp, and pioneer speakers in my truck i could only put one sub cuz its a single cab.

[user101]

as of right now i have 4 kicker 18's in my VW bug with 4 1000w kicker amps.

[darrell43031]

in my truck i have 2 jl 10w3's in a homemade box with a pioneer deh7200 supertuner that is 45 by 4 ( if i remember correctly!) and a 1500 watt fosgate 2 channel amp. with 2 pioneer 6.5 in the doors.

and i put in my girls neon a deh 3200 pioneer supertuner thats 50x4 going to a 600 watt jensen 4 channel amp pushing 2 kenwood tornados in a cunstom made ported box made by columbus car audio.

the sad part is her car can put my truck to shame:( why did i give her the better system?

the reason her's is better is because it's a car and has more room for sound waves to bounce around in and i bought a 200 dollar custom box for her subs compared to my 8 dollar homemade box.

:eek2:

is there anything left on the car when those things hit????

[Regular_Joe]

The wire won't make a difference.

For a night and day difference get an amp. It will make those 6x9's slam pretty good ....

well that depends on the condition of his wiring....if its the original wiring that came on the stock 88 Escort... rip it out IMO. Its old, thin and could be corroded.

Overall though, in this low power application, you wont need a huge wire...just a wire that is in good shape. If you do upgrade to a separate amp for your speakers, you most defiantly need to upgrade size of the wire.

i used to have 2 kicker solobaric L5 12s with a 1200 watt kicker amp......... it slammed

[toomeyshee87]
