I'm looking to upgrade the head unit and speakers on my 1996 Buick Park Avenue. So far I've got this:
-Pioneer DEH-1300MP
-Kicker KS690 (6"x9")
-Kicker DS5250 (5.25")
The only thing I'm worried about is if the Pioneer can drive the 6x9's. I'd like to stay around $200 for the HU and speakers. I don't want to spend crazy amounts of money on speakers, but I do like a decent amount of bass, and clear sound. If you guys have any suggestions about different speakers, feel free to post them. Thank you.
you need a hu that has 2 sets of preouts to run 2 sets of speakers. try jvc and you should find something. as for speakers look up cadence. they have some cheap stuff that is better than kicker
I have a 95 park avenue. I've learned some tips and tricks on these cars.
The rear speakers are simple: any typical 6X9 will fit.
But I'm considering removing the rear deck speakers and installing another set of opti5.1 components in the rear doors, because the pressure from the subwoofers can cause the 6X9's to sound bad.
The front are a bit of a pain as they are a dinky little 5 1/4 speaker.
I installed Lanzar OPTI5.1 component and I had to grind down and modify the speaker enclosures and install speaker baffles.
I'd recommend installing an amplifier or at least making sure your radio has a high pass filter because the fronts will have a hard time with the bass.
