[QUOTE="UPCguy, post: 1270491, member: 564342"] Hey guys, I posted a few weeks ago, I have a 95 Chevy Beretta, has a Pioneer Deh 1500 cd player in it, and stock speakers. I think what I am going to do is keep the head unit it has for right now, and upgrade the speakers, because Christmas is coming and mom and dad want to know what I want.

Alpine Type R 6x9's 2 way speakers for the rear deck Alpine SPS 4x6 2 way speakers for the front kick panels Bass blockers, they show 600hz cutoff for lower power applications, 800 hz on higher power applications...here is a link to them.....
