We added 6.5" speakers in the rear with a 250 amp. Everyone has their own taste as far as music and how they like to listen to it. I like having the extra bass in the rear, sort of a surround sound. Not crazy about the subwoofer because most I've seen only add vibration, not sound. I'm just saying. I'm old school.

new toys installed...

today i just install the speakers at the rear(dont have time for the fronts yet), they turns out to be pretty okay with the stock headunit in a way, havent install the clarion headunit yet hoping that it will sound a lot better, but anyways,,, dont have the stereo kit and harness on hand yet... so have to wait...

Please explain this to me...the replacement Polks have a tweeter built into them so did you disengage the factory tweeters?

didnt touch the tweeters but just remove/replace both front door and rear door speakers...
and was thinking about buying an amplifier to for those polk db 651,,, but they sound good enough with this unit... save me some $$$ :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
today i install the Pioneer AVH-P4100DVD,,, i just dont like the look of the single din unit Clarion VZ309 i order few weeks ago...

didnt order the double din kit yet.. so the side have a space between it

FWIW -- I replaced my four door OE speakers with Alpine 6-1/2" coaxials with aimable tweeters. I had to add damping inside the four doors to tame some spurious resonances, but I find the coax and A-pillar component tweeters work well together.
