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.

Oh, another recommendation I would like to make is that 3-way and 4-way speakers are overrated. I know that it should sound clearer since you're dividing up the frequency ranges to different cones or woofers, but since you're putting your mid all on a 1" cone you lose some of the punch that the mid has. Probably great if rap is your first choice of music, but the overall performance really can't be any better than a normal 2-way/coaxial speaker.

Looking for stuff in your price range I would recommend:

I can understand if you wanna get those 4-way speakers anyway since they light up with use, but I would still recommend these for the price vs. sound.

And don't forget the cost of the wiring kit too. Those are just some suggestions that sit within the cost of the stuff you're looking at.

And if you wanna stick with those blue speakers you picked out, there's some more affordable amplifier options on partsexpress.com that you can get to do the same thing.
