1994 rt/10 speaker upgrade

[jeffdai]

what speakers do you suggest for upgrading my 94's on the doors and subs in the back? I want exact fit replacements if they make any decent ones.

JL Audio are the big boys

Rockford fosgate are great midlevel brand

JBL - Pioneer are good lower end ( but still great sound )

i have sony XPLODs. fit perfect. look nice too.

I did the sony also. Much better than stock, but I got them for the looks.

Ditto what Tim721 and Phil said - Did the Sony's for the look (I did have to shave the back of the speaker grill down a bit so that they would fit flush):

I did use the original amps in the trunk but I beleive they are the weakest link in the system. Tried to locate some small replacement amps, but most I saw out there were on the large size. Still sounds alot better than stock and I love having an mp3 player in the Rockford Fosgate head unit I put in (again for the looks) - POSER mods for now.

I used JL Audio 6" subs which fit stock holes. I had Alpine separates put in the doors. They are the standard 6 1/2" instead of the 5 1/4" speakers that were stock in my '95 RT/10. With a new Alpine deck, it sounds GREAT! I can cruise on the freeway at 70 mph with windows and top off and the music is crisp and clear - not distorted at all.

The previous owner of my car put this high end system in it.
About 3K from what he told me. Kenwood Excellon for the deck & amps. Speakers was all custom stuff. This is my sub :

I'm doing memphis components with a 4 x 75 memphis amp. I'm not sure what sub i wll use.

jeffdai,
Just something for you to consider. I replaced my 2 rear "subs", if you can call 6 1/2 inch speakers subs. I don't know about you, but with the top off, and/or windows out, there is so much wind and road noise, that I have the balance shifted primarily to the rear speakers to hear next to my ear(s). All I was getting was the lows because of the crossover (capacitor). All this said, I replaced my 2 rears with full range (dual cone speaker/coax speaker, whatever you call them) speakers that had a GOOD low end, and loose the capacitor crossover. Now with the balance to the rear, I hear the "full range" of the sound/music. Oh, the stock amp driving the rears knows no difference.
Good luck,

Agreed. Replace the <horrible> stock amps with a quality unit, and go 3 or 4 way in the rear speakers.
