Stock speakers in rear, No amps, no subs. What do you guys think?

Is panasonic a good HU and do ya think those infinity speakers will work nicely?

Should have gotten Pioneer REVS..

Or better yet, not waste money on some 6x8s. Save for a component set or sub.

 

[Ferendon 10+ year member]

Get Pioneer components. They come with 6x8 plates, for easy install for first timers. That radio is decent, but for a few extra bucks, you could get a Pioneer Premier DEH-P400UB, or the non-Premier DEH-P4000UB. Same features, plus iPod, 3 set of pre-outs @ 4v, for future upgrades.

honestly, my favorite speakers I've ever heard off deck power, and are good for when you get a amp are my old polk db series, the sounded fine off deck and then i threw 150wrms to each and they handled it like champs. good budget coax.

Looks fine, but I just have a few suggestions/comments.

Crutchfield is spendy, but from my experience they provide good customer service if you need to return or exchange. I have had good luck with this site,

As Ferendon stated, if you are planning on putting a sub woofer in you may want to consider getting a deck with sub woofer pre-outs.

You will be heavily in debt before you know it.

Before I hooked it up I was thinking of getting an amp later on just to boost the speakers, but because it took several hours just to hook up my head unit, and I doubt I secured it right (bottom sticks out a little bit . . . )...even using crutchfield's installation jazz... I doubt I'll ever do anything harder than replacing my other pair of stock speakers (in the back).

The speakers were a lot easier to install.

I looked up instructions on how to install an amp and after reading the first few steps...Unless someone wants to install them for me for less than those $80 prepay install cards, I don't think my speakers will ever be more than half awake.

Hah, the installation is half the fun //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
