[QUOTE="jemorgan85, post: 321446, member: 546520"] Yep that's me... lol Anyway, I believe your Saturn has the same dash as mine....(if not let me know).. If so, you need to be very careful in the headunit that you choose...our saturns have very shallow mounting depth. If you do get a receiver that mounts deep like I did, you will want to use the deepest frontplate possible on your dash kit... mine is 1 inch deep. As for speakers, you have 6 3/4" in the front and the back. My suggestion would be to get a nice component set up front (I was lucky and got a nice DEI set for 130 bucks), and some mid-bass or coax's for the rear deck. Be careful, however, as your rear deck will resonate very bad because it is built bad in Saturns... you will need to secure it from rattling with sound deadening and maybe some bolts. Also, you need to get a front stage with a shallow mounting depth.....i.e. Neodymium magnets. In the subwoofer category, keep in mind that the max volume of your trunk is relatively small, so a single 15" or two small-box 12's will be just fine. I personally have had the most success with a single 15 in a 3.2 cubic feet box. Of course, I have not built a ported enclosure for my HC's either....

Look at the RE HC's, Orions, or Crystal CMPX2's for the 15 inch drivers. Or, look at SI D2's, ED A's, Treo SS's, or Image Dynamics for the 12's. As for amps, there are endless possiblities, so PM me for ideas on that.. just keep your trunk space in mind and that you have a very small car.... ideal setup would be with the Memphis amps that are very small and very efficient. I ran my power wire throught a pre-existing grommet on the driver's side under the hood... the wire should come out right below the clutch (if you have one). Then I just ran the other wires on the passenger side under the door guards. However, do keep in mind that the largest wire that you will be able to squeeze in is 4 ga., with is still difficult... PM me if any further questions and good luck with your car... I like mine. :p [/QUOTE]
