Just got my Celica a little while ago and I'm gonna start upgrading my system...starting with a Pioneer DEH-P4600MP receiver, eventually an amp and 2 12" subs and a box for the trunk...anyway, I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations on other stuff. Plus, I'm unsure what I'm gonna need to do with the 2 amps I already have in the car since I have the premium system...I'm unsure about whether I need them or not, etc...any help would be appreciated!
P.S. I just turned 18, pay my own insurance, gas etc., and I work at a grocery store, so funds are limited...sadly enough... This post has been edited by Element: Apr 27, 2004 - 9:06 PM |

Heres what I plan on doing
I plan on running a set of 6.5" components (low spot and tweeter spot), and 4 inchers (mid spot) off the head unit, that takes care of the doors. then I plan on buying a 2 way amp for two rear 6.5's, and then a 2 way amp for two 12"s for the trunk. Running all my own wire. Utilizing all spots made available to me by having the 8 speaker stereo upgrade, and bypassing all the factory garbage that isnt worth dick in the aftermarket sound area

Well I am going with:
Alpine 9833 head unit, crystal 6.5 coaxials in the rear, crystal 6.5 components in the front ran by 400w 2ch amp, two 8" kick subs in the doors ran by a 400w 2ch amp, 4 crystal 10 subs ran by two 1200w 2ch amps, two capacitors, Alpine cd changer, viper alarm and if I can find one a high output alternator. I may also get a audio control line drives later. I hope this gives you some ideas. If you need equipment check out this POST William |

celiman , if I were you I wouldnt put two 8" kick subs in the doors
allso how are you planning on fitting a 6.5 inch component in a 4 inch speaker spot? With four 10's I think you will have enough bass anyway you dont need 8 inch kickers. You dont want your bass to over power the other elements all that much, cause then all you will hear is thumping and not the actual music |

Here is my plan: I will be hooking my amps up to switches, and as far as the 8s are concerned they will be on switches as well that way I can turn them on when needed. The reason for all the bass is competion SPL. William |

He's expressing himself badly.
How are you going to fit the 6.5 components in the 4 inch midrange spot? |
