I am currently looking at both the Xplod line and the Pioneer brand 4x6's for the back of my 82. I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations? My back speakers just blew out, and my front speakers have been fried since i got the car. I would like to replace all in one swoop.

 

Pioneer, all the way. I run stock Pontiac speakers because mine sound amazing. Also ran vr3's those sound great too.

 

Pioneer.
I still use my stock speakers, but my buds 86 fiero runs pioneer and they are NICE.
You'll love'm.

 

this is kinda funny, on my 86 i have pioneer in the dash and xplod in the rear. but between those two choices id say go pioneer. but the best brand ive ever heard in any f-body is infinitys (which i have in my 92 camaro)

 

i used pioneer speakers front and back ,with a sony explod cd player its great.oh and by the way,its 6x9 in the back and 4x6 in the dash

 

Im running 4x6 infinitys in the dash and 6x9 infinitys in the rear with a sony deck, kenwood amp and (1) 10 inch jbl sub and the sound is amazing. Perfect balance of highs, mids and lows.

 

I have had the 6 x 9 xplods in the rear.
4 x 6 Boston acustics in the front.
2 10" in the little cargo cover.
I also had two amps. one for the rear and one for the cargo area, none for the front.
My system was geared more for clarity than bass.
With the t-tops off - gotta have something louder than the wind noise!

I have had no complaints.

 

I had the xpolds in my old grand am. They sounded pretty good, for the cost I couldn't complain.
