yeah, the speakers. hrm.. i dont know if i want to even try modifying the speaker to fit. ill probably screw it up and i porbably dont have the tools to do it.

 

will you be going to meets soon. could i check out your speakers?

 

Nothing to screw up. The tweeters will fit in the same position you have your current tweeters in . The woofers will fit as well after you cut the bottom of the basket out. You could always go the spacer route, but I found it fairly easy to cut the bottom of the basket (also means no new drilling of any kind). Just get a sharp set of cutters.

I'm not a very hands on guy and I have been able to do every mod to the S on my own with just a bit of reading on these forums. So far I have done the new HU, new speakers (tweets and woofs), a new OEM front lip, an OEM replica rear wing spoiler, S badges and soon a new shift boot (shift boot is still being shipped). Trust me, if I can do these things than so can you!

 

Personally I don't like the Polk db speakers. You really should audition them in a local mobile audio shop (assuming you have one near you) and other speakers..

Also in your price range you could look at Alpine Type-S and Infinity Reference series components. You can also get Type-R and Kappas in that pricerange from a place like hookedontronics, although you'll want to amp those (they'll work without an amp, but low end will likely be non-existant and you didn't mention any LF upgrades). The Type-S and Reference will be fine with HU power, but an amp will work well for those also obviously (and will sound better).

I love alpine decks, but haven't used either of the ones you mentioned. My last two were the 9857 and the 9887. I'm currently waiting for a Kenwood X994 to test in one of my Integras.

The rear roll hoop speakers you can run off HU power, upgraded or not. They only provide a little rear fill once you upgrade the rest, and only with the top up. At least, I could never hear them otherwise after upgrading the other gear.

Amps.. depends on power needs and what kind of SQ you want. Alpine PDX series might be a good choice. They don't require a ton of power being Class D amps (not that there's all that much difference anyways in power draw, but with the stock alternator I wouldn't go too heavy with amps). If you are going to add a sub to handle LF work, you'll have some additional amp options to consider instead of running two amps..

Honestly, if you want cheap and decent, don't go with an amp for the front channels, just get some upgraded door speakers, upgraded head unit and maybe a small sub/amp, or even something like the Infinity Basslink (it'll fill out the sound, but it's not going to be big tight bass...)

 

how about pionner speakers. ill be looking to get
would 6.75 inch fit with little work needed
should i even consider a 5.25 inch speaker
TS-D1720C
TS-A1702C
which one would be better

also what pioneer amp should i get for this, head unit ill most likely be running this with is DEH-P6100BT or DEH-P6200BT



should i even look at an amp with this set up?

 

also if i look at an amp should it be 2 channel or 4 channel? i am very clueless.

im looking into pioneer because i can get a big discount.

 

the amps i see might be good are GM-6400F or GM-5400T

any help appericiated !!!!

 

If you don't want to run an amp, I'd go with the A1702 out of those. If you run an amp, you'll need to turn down any of those options (you need a 2 channel, if you get a 4 channel, bridge it to 2 channels). Both put out more power than either of those speakers are rated, so just be careful setting up the amp.

IMO, since you wanted cheap, I'd skip the amp all together and just replace the HU and door speakers. If you do go with an amp and the better speakers, I'd consider adding a subwoofer and either bridging two of those channels (assuming the pioneer lets you just bridge the rear channels) and power the sub off that.

 

I'll most likely get d1720 speakers, how about the amp gm3400t. I most likely don't want a sub. I do want cheap however these pioneer product ill be able to get around 50% off
