Replacing stock speakers (and need an amp too)

[LittleMinion]

Hello.. I'm hoping someone can help me with a couple of newb questions.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

I'm looking to replace the speakers in my 91 Firebird. I don't need it to be competition loud or bass that blows the windows out... I just want something I can play loud and still have it sound good and clear.

This is what I was thinking of getting to replace the stock speakers:

Infinity Kappa 693.7i (6X9) 110 watt RMS 330 peak

Infinity kappa 462.7cfp (4X6) 60 watt RMS, 180 peak

And I was thinking of getting the Pioneer DEH-P7700MP for a deck. ( 22 x 4 RMS, 50X4 peak) Or does anyone know if a deck that will fit a 3rd gen Firebird without one of those ugly kits that makes it stick out 2 inches from the dash?? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Should I just get a 2 channel amp and have it power the 6x9s and leave the deck to power the 4x6s? If so what should I look for? I'm aiming for a maximum of $250ish.

Also if I've made any glaring mistakes in choices and you can suggest better speakers, please do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

having had a few birds and camaro's i will tell you those 4x6 in the dash will leave alot to be desired. i did a setup in my iroc where i mades plates to fit 6.5" coaxils in back and put a set of 6.5 comps in the doors leaving the dash empty. i loved the way it sounded. the 4x6 make for a weak front stage and thats where most if not all sound is supposed to come from.

Thanks... I have to pay someone else to do this for me though so I don't want to have to have a lot of custom work... I assume they'd have to cut holes in the doors? How easy is it to make plates?

if you look on the web there might even be some 6x9 adaptor plates available. its just a piece of plasticthat covers the 6x9 hole and leaves you a 6.5 hole. very basic stuff and should be inexpensive. if you get them i think you should be able to put them in. as for door speakers. if youre not comfortable with cutting holes in the doors id research a few local shops and have them just install some 6.5 comps in the doors. this could get a little tricky to do. this would be the only custom piece. do you have any mechanically inclined friends you could work with?
