for the rear I switched it out withthese.
for the front
and
these adapters are great if you don't want to slice the cables.

also. you will need a spacer for the Rockford.

I would recommend the Polk Audio over the Rockford.

Edit: and they work with the stock head unit without an Amp. I am an amateur so I didn't want to replace the stock radio/dash .
and too lazy to add an amp.

Good luck!

You do need speakers, and an amplifier.

Here's a basic upgrade:

  • 6.5" Speakers (4)
  • Head unit of your choosing
  • Wiring harness and mount kit. I'm not sure what 1996 needs.

    To install a subwoofer you will need:

  • Amplifier. The more powerful the better. "RMS" wattage is generally how powerful it is, but companies exaggerate all the time. Try to find the real-world wattage numbers from online reviews so you know what you're getting.
  • Subwoofer. The sustained RMS wattage should match your amplifier as closely as possible. Some advertise 1, 2, 4 or 8 ohms. Higher is better, but also need a more expensive amp. Shoot for around 2-4 ohms for a budget build.
  • A subwoofer box. Appropriate for the size you selected.
  • Wiring kit. You will have to run a beefy wire directly from the battery as well as connect the head unit to your amp.

These sound pretty good for only being ~$62 a set. These also aren't bad. I've bought a bunch of cheap speakers in the past and haven't had any problems, but STAY AWAY from pyle and boss. They have terrible quality control and let many broken things get sold. If you're really trying to keep on a budget you can get the cheap shit but you might have to spend more to send them back when they are DOA. You might also find some deals on used speakers on craigslist.

I've been happy with pioneer speakers. Don't spend too much on them, at some point spending an extra $100 on door speakers doesn't really make a difference. Something like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BF6HWCM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1465009811&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=6.5+car+speakers&dpPl=1&dpID=41ZDTeKAdUL&ref=plSrch or these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A0LZHYS/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?qid=1465009811&sr=8-12&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=6.5+car+speakers would be fine, just make sure you buy the right size speaker for your car.

I picked these up a few weeks ago to replace the set from previous owner, can't beat the price and they sound great.

I don't know if my base sonata had tweeters in the first place, but the ones inside the dashboard up against the inside of the windshield were pretty small. I don't know what they're rated at but I'm powering them just off the stock head unit, it was just plug and play. I'm sure if you went with an aftermarket amp you would get better sound but I didn't want to mess with all of that. my sub is also self powered so external amp for that either. here's links to the speakers I used:

side note, the smaller in dash speakers made by polk audio made a huge difference, they were more expensive than the larger door speakers I got from rockford, if I could do it over again I'd spend a little more and go with polk audio speakers for the doors as well, or at least the higher end rockford fosgate rather than the $35 ones.

u/quach47 · 1 pointr/CarAV

You mentioned Rockford Fosgate. I looked on Amazon and they're only $40 for a pair which is cheaper than the Polk.

I'll probably go with this option unless someone else has another recommendation or speaks strongly for Polk.

Thanks for you help!

what about these, I did hear anything over 2 way is not good and unnecessary

"Silk dome pole mounted piezo tweeter"

also you think the planet audio 8 inch subwoofer is good? It is the only replacement as far as I know that will be aperfect fit, Unless I use the foam repair kit

u/SeattleIsTooRainy · 1 pointr/CarAV

Here are the 6x9's I just put in the back, and the 6.5 inch pair in the front. They aren't anything too crazy but imo they sound pretty good, and have a decent amount of bass. I think perhaps the amount of clarity they have compared to the stock speakers drew my attention to the lack of the deep deep bass.

I chose to keep the stock deck as to avoid breakins.. If you go that route it's possible to get the aux-input. http://jazzyengineering.com
I've got that hooked up to a bluetooth receiver and it works as good as any new touchscreen radio.
When I got my bugeye, the rear speakers were shot so I replaced them with these cheap rockford fosgates since I wasn't running an amp or any additional power.
