so i think i'm just going to get the two new speakers for now, and get everything else later. what ones in particular do you recommend if i just want two and i want to use them later with my whole set when i get more money? thanks

Do you want to get components later? Cause that is what they are going to recommend here probably.

yeah i think so. if i got the coaxials, would i have to replace them with components later or could i use them along with the components?

best to go with components, night and day difference as far as SQ goes. I didn't read through the thread so I don't know your budget. But a decent start would be a HU, component set, and a 2-ch. amp for the components.

You wanna get the first system right so you don't have to keep switching back and forth, like me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

You certainly don't need an amp unless you get components for the front. Coaxials up front sound fine off of the head unit. I would start with a good head unit and some coaxials... Work your way up from there.

boo, get the comp up front, do it right the first time

for you, i would just spend 50 bucks on some cheap coaxials to get you some sound, then save up for your first system. a VERY basic system would be:

-new HU

-4 ch amp

-front components

-1 small sub

then you would use the front channels of the amp to power your speakers, and the rear channels to power the sub. taking it to the next step would be to get a separate amp for the sub, but then you will want to get into wiring/electrical upgrades. and then you get sucked in and it never ends! lol

btw, that first little system i mapped out for you can be had for less than $500 with all new equipment depending on what you choose and if you install it yourself, or have a friend do it rather than taking it to BB or CC or an audio shop. if you buy used stuff you could definitely get yourself a "system" for under $300 with all of those components listed. just an fyi for how much you will probably have to save up to upgrade later.

ok thanks, the 50 dollar ones sound like a good idea for now. would you recommend buying some random ones just from best buy or somewhere or do you think there are some particular ones i should get?

Polk DBs are great budget coaxials... I really enjoyed mine.

I'm also getting a MA Audio HK1000D, two 12" Infinity Reference 1240 subwoofers, and a 4 gauge wiring kit. If you are interested in buying it all as a package deal I could give you a pretty good price.

i just bought those polk dbs, but i haven't installed them yet. thanks everyone for your help!

just look on the door panel all around. look for screws and any pieces that you may be able to pop off to reveal screws under. then in should be several clips holding the door panel to the door. just be careful not to pull too hard or break anything.

if u post some pics of the door panel we may be able to help u better to see what to take off
