upgrade audio?, i know nothing about audio Options

[cnelson]

Hey guys.. heres what i know..

My stock headunit says.. "50Wx4" so does this mean 50W for each of my speakers? (I have four)

I want to get four, or (at least 2 now and 2 later) I know the fronts are 6.5in.. but are the rear speakers the same size? They look like there differant..

Should i buy an amp? I think the answer is yes.. because i want more power to my speakers.. (nothing hardcrode just a little more) I was thinking about getting a 250 or 500 wat amp.

And than maybe some 175 wat speakers than upgrade later if i really want?

Should i install all this my self of get someone to do? I have some experince with wireing lights in my car but nothing more than that.

I was thinking maybe going to pep-boys or buying everything off ebay and doing it all myslef?

Also where would i mount the amp? I would want it in a visible place? I was thinking the sealing?

Thanks for any help.

You need some kind of mid/high speakrs in the front.
If you only have lows, all your mids and highs will b coming from the back and IMO will not sound very well.

Since you are going with 4 speakers, i would go 6.5 all the way, since thats whats there now.

If you want subs, you can either put them in the trunk, or cut out holes on the rear dash behind the seats and put in some free air subs..

This is just my opinion, if anyone else has any sggestions or have done a different setup, let us know.. I am actually curious what everyone else has.

My system is still pretty stock. I installed a near competition grade head unit, integrated it with the stock amp and am runnin the stock 8 speaker setup.

IMO a good head unit makes a bigger difference in a system than expensive speakers.
