innnnnnn outttttttt, innnnnnnnn outtttt ok seriously tho man, from what ive seen in your car. take it all out. all of it. start fresh. get some comps for the front doors and some rear fills. get a good amp or 2 amps and power your speakers and get a single sub for the rear. QUALITY over quantity is the best idea here

Hey everyone I have a good question... what are the top speaker brands out there? I was looking to get a good.. and I mean GOOD pair of 6x9's in the front of my 92 civic...

Why? Since no Civic I've ever seen came stock with that size driver up front why go through the hassle of installing/getting some installed when superior sound can be had with much less headache?

I search around and I wanted some POWERFUL 5 way speakers and I found the PIONEER 6 X 9" 5 WAY SPEAKER TS-A6991R set for about 70-80 dollars after shipping for new on ebay and many other places are 100+ easy for them. Wattage is like 460 each speaker...like 200 something RMS...

A) 5-element coaxial speakers are nothing more than a marketing gimmick. If you'll have a close look at the specs of the smaller drivers in those speakers you'll find that many of them are rated to reproduce frequencies higher than 20kHz which is beyond the range of the average human's ability to hear. 2-ways, 3-ways at most are your friend. Beyond that is a waste of money. Trust us on this.B) Peak wattage ratings are merely another marketing tool and as far as figuring out the overall usability of any certain driver it is basically a useless number. Stick with RMS wattage ratings which are a much more pertinent specification.

What I want to know is... how powerful can I get for a resonable price... I dont want to spent 3k on 2 speakers but I wouldnt mind spending like 100-150 for some cystal clear 5 way speakers that have a GOOD wattage because im all about the power.

See above and also //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif There are some speakers out there that are rated for fairly low wattage capabilities when taken at a glance but the sound reproduction will really surprise you. Don't place so much importance on nothing more than a number when seemingly you're not quite understanding its true role.

Right now my system as follows:
I have 2 visonik 6 1/2 in the front

I have 2 Diamond audio 6 1/2 in the back...

I have a power acoustik 1600 W max I think like 620 RMS

I have 2 Nitro subs 500 max 250 RMS EACh sub so thats 1000 MAX

I have a crunch 600W max small amp that does I believe 150 max each channel and 110 RMS each channel

Why would you put a superior set of speakers in the rear (the Diamond Audios) in the rear and go with those Visoniks up front instead? Your front stage is much more important at the end of the day than your rear fill. More than a few here would lead you to believe that rear fill at all is a complete waste...

Oh yeah and I also have some audiobahn 4 inch somethings on the back of my headrest on each front seat... so I have a 4 channel amp but im powering my 2 diamond audios on 1 channel each and powering the visoniks and audiobahns on the same channel... 6 speakers on a 4 channel amp basically...

There's no response here exceptOh

My

God

!!!

Its pretty loud for the price I paid... especially but my plan is sell everything/trade for:
2 6x9's in the front in custom boxes on the floor

See above

2 6 1/2 in the door panel in the front

That makes sense (the only thing that has thus far??)

Keep my diamond audio 6 1/2 in the back because those are NICE speakers

I agree that they're likely the nicest speakers you have but see above regarding their placement.

2 6x9's in the back seat somewhere in custom boxes.. havnt figured out where yet.

mmKay...

Thats a total of 8 speakers. Now I want to get some good amps....

Not a half-bad idea //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I want to get either 2 really good subs, or 4 good subs...im not sure which but I want about 3000-4000W of power MAX and about 2000W RMS or so....

Okay

so im gonna have to buy some amps to power those powerful subs...and im also going to have to buy some amps to power the speakers obviously.

With that much amplification in a Civic you'll also need to buy some upgraded charging system components as the stock output will not come close to sufficiently providing the necessary juice to create that much wattage.

tell me what you guys think?

I did. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

I have a 1992 civic with 182k miles by the way... I say...if you cant race em....turn your stereo up!

Is that so you can't hear them laughing? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gifJust kidding.

Not!

I mean when I acctually get a good car worth hiding all of the wires and stuff I will install it good...but for now I see no reason to with an 186k miles civic

 

[jeeper07 5,000+ posts]

youve got a good start man... get the laptop and sell it like you said. then get some good 6.5 inch comps for the fronts. and a good amp for them. youll be very impressed at what a good set of speakers can get you instead of 5 pairs of lower quality speakers

 

[smd4life 5,000+ posts]

listen to what most of the people say on here...some of the best sounding car stereo's i've ever heard only had 2 mid's 2 tweet, and 1 8"

 

[AcidicDreams 10+ year member]

OK... First off sorry everyone is picking on you.... it's just bound to happen when you have little to no guidance in how to properly install and pick audio componenets... trust me, I've seen worse... Next you need to take some time with your install... the wire running out from under the mid is a travesty... but it's easily fixed...

Now to echo everyone else, stick around, learn some basics and start over... There are tons of resources for learning and once you get past the initial spat of newbie haters you can learn alot on these forums...

Also bookmark this page:

and don't worry... I've built some killer systems for ~$500... If you plan on spending less than that then don't worry about how it sounds...

I do try.

 

[krisfnbz 10+ year member]

I will listen to what you all have to say...but I do want it to be extremely loud... as well with good quality... thats why im aiming for more speakers... and the 6x9's not underneath the seat... but on the right side where I would have a clutch if i had one(i dont its auto)
