Hey all,
Very new to the car audio install game. I’m putting together a little system for my Toyota Corolla (95) and wanted to hear some different opinions.
So far I've replaced the factory speakers (4 4-inch speakers) with Polk DB 401s (rms 135 W) and I also picked up an enclosed JL-12, 12" sub. The head unit I have is this cool higher end (in the day) JVC cassette receiver head (8 watts front, 22 watts rear) that has an aux (walkman lol) port. I was considering just picking up a Pioneer GM-9705 to power everything.
Here’s my question. My hunch is that it would be good to get something a bit more midrange to work between the 4 4-inch speakers and the 12 inch sub. Or do you think the sub will cover the spectrum up to the tweeters? Do you think that ideally I would have some more midrange speaker (s) running? What about a combo enclosed box with a sub and two 8 inch speakers, if that exists? I’d also consider hacking some into the car panels somehow...
Any advice or ideas would be very appreciated!
