Ok I've decided to buy a pair of Boston Acoustic speakers here:

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-padEOEbTNgN/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=52300&id=other_items&i=065S95

Im gonna buy a Baffle with it too.....so is this a good choice to replace my factory stock 6x9 speakers?

Another questions is......will this help my clipping at all? Or do I need an Amp with it too? All I want is to get the clipping OUT OF MY CAR AUDIO!!!!!!! Thats all, all I want is to play my music so I can hear it.....not at a quiet volume of 10 out of 45..... If I need an amp, can someone please recommend me a REALLY CHEAP ONE that will help the clipping.

You need a better amp (and set it correctly) to get rid of clipping...the speakers don't play a role in that at all.

So all I need is a better amp? What do you mean by settign it correctly? What would be a good one to buy?

yes that would be a good amp. by correct settings he means read the gain setting turoial in the amp forum. what you are trying to do is match the output level of the headunit, with the amps input. when you have the gain too high it sends a clipped signal and the speaker only reproducing it and not causes it.

Well I just called Crutchfield Support and they said to just bypass the factory equalizer that is around my steering column. So how do I do this?

BTW they said by just doign that it will stop the clipping completly......

no it won't. any piece of equipment can clip, headunit, EQ, amp. do you have a stock headunit? are these amplified now?

No its an Awia CD player with a built in amp.......I think I'll unplugg my hatch and dash board speakers.....will that equal it out?

so you have no speakers?

I have a Van BTW, 1995 Ford Aerostar. If I unplug the hatch and dash speakers I will still have a pair of 6x9 int he back.

turning the bass all the way up, loudness, volume to high, over eqing, can all cause clipping. disconnecting speakers will only cause the speakers you disconnected not to clip, lol.
