Cheap set up for a saturn.

[blindskater1213 10+ year member]

My friend wants a cheap setup since his speakers are blown.

So far we have decided on this deck: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16691_Eclipse+CD3414G+-+CD3414.html

And his stock speakers are 6 3/4" so, Im thinking just 6.5's in the doors?

Do you think some 6.5's like the Kicker ds650's or some rockfords would sound decent off of the deck power (17 watt rms)?

Any recommended speakers for like $50?

Thanks

For the power, I was impressed with the lower end pioneers (as in cheap).

They had a much deeper midbass than other speakers I listened too, which was always lacking in a typical stock system. And without a subwoofer, it helps a tad.

Alright, I think Ill go with them. He wants the bass and I found a pair that is 35 watt rms per speaker, so that should be powered decently by 17.

It will definitely sound better than stock.

Out of lower grade speakers, they had a more extensive lower end.

Don't expect a subwoofer's pounding, but they'll get a lot lower than a basic stock setup, and lower than most of the other cheap coaxials.

Yeah, he's not expecting it to be like my sub or anything.

Just better than now... which is no bass and no SQ

if running off deck power check the sensitivity number NOT the RMS. Higher the number the louder they'll get off deck power.

I'd recommend powerbass comps from millionbuy for $37 for coax's for $18 and a refurbed Profile amp from their online store. Amps are like $35 for a small 2 channel...
