now the 6.5s are a 3way and the 4s are a 2 way... do head units account for both if i used these two in a set up? i know nothing about stereos
I've been buying car stereo gear from Crutchfield for years, and you can't beat the support. If you buy the head unit and speakers from them, they include all the brackets, stock wiring harness connectors, and instructions for installation specific to your vehicle (even the VX!). Also, for about $20, they have a single DIN storage compartment to replace the stock CD changer. I've got four 6 1/2" Infinity shallow mount speakers and a Pioneer I-Pod controlling head unit, and the installation was pretty easy. I also use amps and subs, but a good head unit will drive those speakers well by itself.
My head unit is a Pioneer DEH-P3900MP, but I believe it has been replaced by DEH-P4000UB. It costs $164. You may be able to use a less expensive unit if you don't need the USB connection or I-Pod controls. The speakers are Infinity 6022si. They are $89 a pair. The speakers are currently shown to be out of stock, but the Crutchfield rep will let you know when they expect to have them in stock. It's usually not too long. Go ahead and get the 6 1/2" speakers for both front and rear. It takes a little modifying for the rear speakers, but it's well worth it. There's a good write up about here somewhere. The search feature will find it for you.
I think i will go ahead and get something very similar to what you have... i have checked out the speakers and the reviews and i like them alot and what was said about them. the head unit i can get a little over a hundred, plus about $59 for a pair of speakers, so it will say in my budget. I just need to look at the wiring on the car because car has had a sound system (atleast a sub/amp) in it so hopefully the car was wired already! that would be nice... but i also think it is the reason the speakers are blown
Hey i replaced my headunit with a sony xplod stereo and pioneer speakers 61/2 2way in the doors and modifided the rear to fit 6x8 2ways to replaced the 41/2s it sounds good,i may add an amp to make it more clear.i bought my stuff from www.onlinecarstereo.com. i paid about $36.00 for the 6x8s and $28.00 for the 61/2s and the stereo about $140.00 all brand new not refurbish.
