reccomended aftermarket speakers that will work with stock amp

[Awekiller]

I have a 99 eclipse gst with the infinity sound system and amp. My speakers are basically shot and need replacing. Im going to eventually get everything audio wise upgraded (i still have the stock head unit). But right now i just want to have a decent sound for now

I don't know what kind of car you are looking to have but my car will be more of a DD race car so what i'm doing is taking all the stock stereo stuff out and putting in a used $100 wireless sound bar and sub with a inverter. This will allow me to have an amazing sound system for dirt cheap and be able to take it all out in a matter of minutes. Might be an option for you.

Lol this is interesting.. I'm assuming the sound bar is bluetooth so you can connect to your phone. Also, I'm guessing it is battery powered and where would you mount said sound bar and subwoofer so they aren't flying around the car while driving?

 

[GSXvsTSI]

Yeah bluetooth. My car is gutted so ill weld up a mounting spot. Its for a home/theater so you need a inverter that plugs into a cigarette lighter to power it. If you can wait a week ill tell you how it sounds in my car. Something like this

I haven't ever heard of this being done so i hope it all works out.

I had the same intention a year ago and bought cheap ass boss chaos series 6x9s and 6.5s from Walmart .com for $40 shipped. Ironically these speakers still sound great even after I upgraded the head unit and added a sub/ amp. I think they sound better than the Rockford fosgates in my other car. And I beat the crap out of them.

Wire the inverter straight to the battery because it will overheat and melt the wires that power the cigarette lighter.

eBay is your friend as far as car stereo stuff goes

My door speakers were $11 each, great upgrade from stock

I paid $80 for some JBL speakers in 6x9 for the rears. They sound good and have ok bass but I gave them a negative review on amazon, I expected alot more for $80

Is it 6.5 for door theb 6x9 for rear. Also heard u can only have like 3 inches thick for the 6x9 so youre kind of limited is that true

 

[chrysler kid]

Yes 6.5 for the door 6x9 for the rear.

You can use a hammer to dent the area behind the 6x9 mount to make a speaker fit. The factory ones that came out had already put a couple dents in the sound deadening back there so it was no issue.

The stock infinity is 2 ohm, the speakers I ordered were all 4ohm running on the stock amp. Just be sure they match resistance otherwise the 4 ohm speakers will take more power to turn full blast and you will have to adjust the fader

So the Pyle 6.5 subwoofer I ordered 2 of were 4 ohms. When I ran them with the factory infinity 6x9's in the rear I had to adjust the fader to put more power to the front speakers

Well I told you i'd post how my speaker set up went and i just got it in the car today. Been a little busy and this wasn't very important. So i have 2 12s and a home sound bar. Sounds really good actually.

My seat is up so you can see them. Normally its almost touching them.

Factory infinity amps usually run about 15-25 amps rms, especially after all these years.

You can go with whatever you want, but focal, infinity kappa series and kicker QS or KS seris are all quality.
I've never been impressed with Fosgate coaxial or component setups.

Personally, id get some quality 6.5 components for the fronts (the kappas sound great and will last a long time with lots of abuse) and a decent pair of 6x9s (kicker KS or alpine type R [type Rs have neodymium magnets and are very small with high power handling]), while bypassing the factory amp and installing an inline power pack (alpine ktp445u is phenomenal) and a good aftermarket deck.

If you want a sub after that, 8" kicker solobaric l7, or as big as you want as long as you have a box that can support the sub requirements, all sound great. Sundown audio is another good sub company, more reliant on the box and amp spec, like kicker.
