[QUOTE="Haserfauld, post: 1089603, member: 562877"] Hello all, I'm new here. I have an 88 Civic...and everything in it was stock. Making me NUTS, so I just got a new deck for it. Stock speakers are worthless, obviously, so I am looking to upgrade them. To the best of my knowledge, my car has no rear speakers. Is that normal? Should I put speakers there? I just checked in the trunk and it looks like it has places to mount speakers, along with what appears to be +/- wiring, but there are no speakers there. I'm a fairly electrical guy (build PCs, wired my new stereo harness and such), but I know almost nothing about installing speakers. Here's my question: If I want to upgrade my system in my car, what should I get? Here are a few parameters. I'm not going to keep this car too long, and I don't have the money or desire to pimp out the sound system. I'm just looking for good sound, no amps needed, in the $200 +/- range. Some of you might cringe at the idea of upgrading a sound system without amps and subs and all that, but I'm just a college kid with a small paycheck and a car he's not gonna keep too long. Also, any input on where to get them would be greatly appreciated. Online might be cheaper, but local places actually install the speakers, don't they? Installation would be nice....but I'm willing to give it a shot. Thanks, Greg [/QUOTE]
