Thanks for all the advice.

Drunkenrobot, does your system sound good with the rear speakers turned off? I notice my stock rear speakers doesn't reproduce any high frequencies.


My front doors comes with separate tweeters mounted higher up the door with the 6.5 speaker at the bottom of the door. That is why I am looking to replace them with a component set.

I'll probably just change the speakers (maybe just the fronts first like Drunkenrobot said) and see how it sounds. Then only decide if I need amps too.

Thinking of getting some Infinitys as they are 2 ohms and supposedly will sound louder using stock HU. I listen to mainly pop and classical music.

Is Sonicelectronix the best place online to buy? Their prices are 50% less than any Canadian place I can find, and they include duties etc in the quotes. Any other good places/sites?

Also, which place is good for installation around GTA, Markham, Richmond Hill and surrounding area?

Thanks again in advance for the advice.

 

If you're really considering amping you may want to consider this package deal they have here :P

Sounds great with the rears turned off, though it kinda sucks a bit for the passengers in the back. But, who cares, it's all about the driver.

Mine came with the tweets too. Turns out they are cheap crap with no crossover. The low end is rolled off by a capacitor wired inline. Less than ideal. So the mains in the door are still full range, and the tweets are just boosting the high end. The aftermarket components with the crossover made a huge difference.

I would second your choice to go with infinity since you listen to a lot of classical. Give the Kappa line a listen, they are quite good with classical.

 

I went the same road you did, and after I put the components in the doors I wasn't very happy with the head unit. I'm always going for sound quality first, and the Hyundai HU was lacking. I ended up going with an Alpine CDA-9887, but any head designed for sound quality would help. I also listen to a lot of classical.

 

A simple install like just door speakers could probably be done with relative competence by Future Shop. Cost about $80, if my memory serves correctly?
