New stereo ideas. Few questions for you guys

So it's been about 10 years since I have messed around with stereo stuff besides a nice head unit. My Camaro only ever had 2 6X9's that I could never hear over the engine. I have a whole new plan this time around because I have the entire interior apart installing new carpet. I'm also swapping to a much quieter engine.


I just picked up a box with two brand new Audiobahn 10's in it for $50. I'm going to use 1 10" sub in a custom well box. I am about to get a Rockford Fosgate Punch Amp today on Ebay to run it.

I have two Pioneer 6X9's 4 ways for the rear.

I really want to know what is the size of the front dash speakers and who makes a good clear front. I'm going to have the dash and 6X9's on 1 amp also.
thanks

You can also fit a 4", or 5 1/4" speaker up front but keep the mounting depth to 2" or under. Otherwise, you may have to get "creative".

I like the sound of Polk speakers but you should listen to some speakers as everyone's ears and tastes are different.

Here is a REALLY good deal

Re: New stereo ideas. Few questions for you guys

Thanks guys. I watched a few sets of Pioneer 4X6's 3 ways go for like $30 bux shipped. I kept missing the auction though. I ended up buying some cheap kicker 2 ways for $36 that will probably sound terrible but i'm only looking to step up a notch. They should do the trick. they also had a few good reviews.

Thought the shipping amount was only to Canada. I can't see US shipping prices.

Usually when a seller doesn't want to ship to the Great White North, they jack up the shipping cost.

That is the Canada price.

Go to the shipping and payments tab, just below the picture, then enter country and postal (zip) code. Comes up to about $15 UPS Ground to ship to my address in Washington
