hey guys im i beginner to the whole celica car scene, being that i'm only 16 and just got the car not too long ago. but i have been highly interested in import cars for 3 years now.when i bought the car, the front speakers were mostly blown so im thinking of replacing them. at first, i was thinking of getting components but realized i dont have the $ right at this time. i started looking at some 6 1/2 pioneer TS-A1680R 4-ways 2-50w rms. i dont like brain busting bass, but like to hear some decent bass every once and a while. i dont realy want to take up any trunk room so im not thinking of subs right now. so i have a few questions:
1) has anyone heard anything good/bad about the pioneer tsa's above
2)should i buy 2 pairs, since they are only $70 a pair at sounddomain.com, and later buy a 4 ch. amp to get the decent bass im looking for once in a while
3)should i buy one set of the 4-ways speakers to get the highs and a pair of components to reach the mids and lows
- and if i did this could i set up an amp to power all 4 speakers if it were a 50w rms amp?

id appreciate any info possible.thanks for checkin this out and hope to hear ur replys. biggrin.gif

Components will not sound good on a HU.. i have no clue where you are getting that from, you must not know what good sound is..... just like powering speakers off of your HU, you will notice a major difference in them off of an amp... he is better saving his money and buying component sets and a 4 channel amp.... this can be done under $500 which is relatively cheap for car audio. if he needs a HU then he can look at Crutchfield... they have deals going on and warranties ofcourse.. CDT components will run you $150 at The Zeb and if you want coaxials, they have CDT's for $60.... and you can get a 4 channel amp for em for under $200....if he is just going to run stuff off of his HU then he might as well run all coaxials. that is all i have to say about this.. this is getting stupid.

Dude, he can buy a 4 channel amp LATER. He can run them off a HU FINE for the time being, they sound fine if they're powered in the middle of their range.

Components are not a "ton of bass," they're the best sound quality you could ask for.

Like Scarrell is pointing out, you should have a 4 channel amp, however due to your financial situation you can hold off purchasing that til a later date, and run components and coaxials off a HU fine for the time being.
