Hello,

I have no idea about audio systems in cars.

Basically all I want is loud, good quality surround sound speakers with no bass distortion.

Just a good heavy sound all around to play rock music mainly.

Any idea what equipment I'd need and how much it would cost.

I'm not really interested in sub boxes or the latest and greatest most expensive things.

Just good speakers with good sound at a fair price.

Hi there!

If I understand you, you want to have speakers without doing a lot of modifications?
Well, I say: 2 4" speakers in your dash, and 2 6x9" speakers under your backseat.

The 6x9" speakers should give enough bass to plessure your wishes.

Good luck!


Peace, Tim

personally, i'd go with components. ie 1" tweeter & a 4" to 6" main driver. Can't stand co-ax speakers!

anyway, if you don't want to use an external amp, keep the wattage of your components real, no point having 250w 6x9's on a headunit giving out 4x15wRMS (or as the box says 4x50W).

If you want decent, powerful sound, get yourself a 4x50wRMS amp or better...pretty cheap and will make a massive difference in quality, especially rock music when you want the drums to 'kick' & bass to be heard over road noise. Get the speakers to match approx the amp, massive watts on speakers isn't louder (the opposite, they'll soak up more power).

If the thought of making speaker boxes is too much, then an easy alternative is get some 'bookshelf' monitor speakers and mount in or on the parcel shelf. You can get some really good powerful ones off ebay, even though they're 8ohm a decent external amp will power these no problem.
