Setup for a 87 Trans AM

hey, I'm buying new speakers next week, and it seems alot of people are recommending infinitys up front. I work at bestbuy so i had a few chances to play around with the infinitys. For the back do you think i should stick with component speakers or switch over to 6x9's. Which would be better for bass? Because I'm trying to stear clear of an amp and subs.

If i end up going the 6x9 way. I also listened to some Alpine S-Types and they seemed pretty damn good for a 6x9.

One more question, whats everyones opinion on audiobahn?

The Alpine type S are pretty good, but I prefer a nice set of 6.5" components for midbass and overall clarity.

And from my experiences, all low level Audiobahn products are pretty much all show and no go.

Re: Setup for a 87 Trans AM

the infinity 4x6 plates would be good for the front... but look into some rockford fosgate 6x9's i didn't really think they would sound to great but they are good for the money... but i would rather change the 6x9's with some 6's or 6.5's... you can get 5.25 in the dash... look into some pioneer revs those are good and cheap

Re: Setup for a 87 Trans AM

audiobahn blows! Go to www.ampguts.com to see what the amplifier internals look like before you buy. You can spot quality/junk rom looking inside the amp. That site has a good majority of amps in there. Take a peek before you buy!

I work at Best Buy also, use our employee accomidation and get the Kappa Series. Worth it. For front 4x6 and rear 6x9 for Kappa's it only set me back about a $100.
