im looking to spend about $400 on new speakers. I need:
2 4.5" for the rear shelf
2 4.5" for the doors
2 2.5" for the tweeters mounted on the sides of the dash

what can you recommend to me? i know very little about car audio stuff...

and will i need an amp? my head unit is 45x4 watts but i also have 2 subs. thanx

JBL GTi series rule!

I have the 408 Gti component system and the 1200 Gti Subwoofer with a Kenwood amplifier. Sounds like heaven!

why r u using such small speakers u will have very little mid bass.
if u want a sweat sonding system. do not put speakers in the rear.... get something like the boston pro components i forget what they r called but the come with a 6.5" a 4" and a 1"tweet and crossover.... get cutom kicks make....... get a class ab amp for the mids and class d for your subs..........

hope this helps

your headunit won't put out 45x4 true watts. more like around 20 wattsx4. if you want your speakers too play its fullest..then u should get an amp for them.

they are only 4.5 's you probably don't need an amp. i am with the other guy though get bigger speakers if you can't afford it just get the fronts.

your budget seems pretty tight. look at diamond audio. If your budget expands look into focal and dynaudio.

You might want to take a look into Eclipse speakers too.

best go with jbl's, at this price range, it would be best buy... focal, eclipse, wou;d get you maybe a pair of decent speakers... dynaudio... maybe one tweeter.

Seriously, for the price of the "low end" big name brands, you can get "high end" jbl/infinity/other hk brands for much less $$$ and better sound.

hehe im really not much of an audio person...so your post doesnt really make sense to me...sorry.

your telling me to not put speakers on the rear shelf? the stock ones back there now are both blown totally...i think i need something back there. i have to use 4.5s because thats what they are stock...can i modify them to fit 6.5s or 6x9s?

jbl speakers eh? ill look into it.

oh yes and the $400 i said i was spending on speakers did not include the amp.

speakers in the rear shelf r a waste of money.....u cant hear them with the subs going and if your into sound quality it will just screw up the sound stageing................ what kind of car do u have.... if u go to your local car audio dealer they probley have prefab kicks(this alsow u to put biger speakers in your car and helps with SQ) they will probley cost 100 or so but they r worth it.... u also mite beable to cram some 6.5" in the stock location.....

lock on ebay u should beable to find a nice set of diamond components or some boston pros....

hope this helps and if u have any other Q. just ask

Are you sure the stock speakers are 4 1/2's? I thought both the rear deck and door speakers were 6 1/2's...

Your back shelf speakers are 6.5's I just recently installed my friends and they are. Also your door panel speakers are also 6.5's Since I installed those too as well. Hope this helps.
