Bronze Member Username: Bnd_rulezPhoenix, AZ USA Post Number: 98 Registered: Mar-05 | Thats not bad,but I would recommend that you get a decent set of component speakers like Infinity or CDT, and a small 2 channel amp to run them. It will sound better, and you don't need rear speakers.. they generally only hurt the imaging created by your front speakers. Infinity Reference comps are cheap, heres one fro like $90 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32818%26item%3D5764425521 %26 and for an amp to power those you'll need something like an MTX Thunder 282 as seen here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=39735%26item%3D5765318693 %26 Hope this helps you. |

As for the tweeter, they come with hardware to install them, but you may need to cut a small hole in the door panel. |

Bronze Member Username: SgtibitoskiClarkston, MI USA Post Number: 19 Registered: Oct-04 | Is speaker installation easy? I went to Best Buy and they said it would cost $125 to install a pair of front speakers and a head unit... |
