Do you have the ā€œpremium soundā€ or just standard? (You can tell by looking at your tape deck) If you do, I donā€™t know what youā€™re talking aboutā€¦yes Iā€™ve replaced the rears, but not 'cause they suckā€¦the speakers I bought for the doors didnā€™t fit, so Iā€™m still runing those and they sound great! If you donā€™t then maybe they doā€¦

I would say that any speakers you put in will not need an amp. Your factory deck will power any speaker, but you shouldnā€™t have to worry about blowing any of them off the stock deck. The first amp youā€™ll need is for the first sub you get. Once you get that you MIGHT (big emphasis on that ā€œmightā€) want to start considering an amp for the front/rear speakers. I got my system (head unit, sub/amp, rear speakers) three years ago and Iā€™m not running an amp for my speakers yet. Iā€™ve considered getting one, but I wonā€™t do it until I get a set of speakers in my trunk to go with the sub. And thatā€™s not happening anytime soon.

so all i have to do is unplug the stock speakers and then plug in the new ones? or do i need all sorts of complicated wires and sheet? :?

#6

come on guys its getting dark and im scared :wink:

#7

There are wiring harnesses available, if you donā€™t want to do that get some electrical tape and splice the wiresā€¦ You now how to do that right?

#8

DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL TAPE!

Its tackyā€¦ Solder them together, youā€™ll get better audio quality or use Heat shrink tube to hold the wires together.

man the last time i used a sodering tool was in shop class and i made a big metal ball and threw it at the teachers headā€¦ :evil:

ok the speakers i got for 30 bucks is the DUBS and their 200 Watts eachā€¦

so it came with a blue wire for each of the speakers that splice into 2 wires at the endā€¦

which side is positive and negitive?

One wire has a black stripe on it and the other one is just plain, i suppose the one with the black line is positive right?

another thing, is the stock amp under the drivers seat??

thanks and feel free to complain :roll:

If you have premium sound, thereā€™s an amp under the drivers seat for the speakers, but itā€™s only the front or rearsā€¦I donā€™t rememberā€¦
plain should be positive, black stripe negative. You should be able to get harnesses for like $7 from anywhere.
