I have been reading up on the forums lately as I am a proud new owner of a 99 Alero GLS coupe. First things first, I am truly disappointed with the sound system. With windows down and going 45 volume at a reasonable level cds distort and sounds like crap, not to mention the pickiness of the stock HU when it comes to reading burned cds.
I'm trying to keep my budget about $300-$400 for a new sound system. I like the Pioneer DEH-3700MP head unit
HU for $150. Crutchfield seems good to buy from since they give you all the installation stuff for free.
I checked out the Infinity Reference series 4X6s
Click for $80ish and like them, but I think its stupid to waste the stock tweeter mounts by the window. Do you think I should go with components? I'm going to install it all myself (my first car audio venture) and I'm unsure if I want to have to mess around and get the Infinity 6000 or 6010cs to fit just right in the doors. Plus for now i would hold off an amping everything til the $$$ situation is better aka getting a summer job.
As for 6x9s Infinity had some sweet offerings. I saw them at Circuit City, forgot the model but they were $150.
I guess my real issue is up in the front what would you guys suggest 4x6s or components, i know you'll all say components but would they really sound bad if they werent amped and just going through the pioneer? i mean the thing is only pushin like 22watts. Also what kind of custom fab work would i have to do to get them to fit?
sorry about the long ramblings, its kinda late. thanks in advance
