Need Help

Whats up fellas ? Let me start off buy stating that i'm completely clueless when it comes to car electronics. I'm trying to replace my monsoon in my 01 z (that piece of crap) just had a few questions. What size speakers should i be looking for up front, back seat, and hatch area ? What's the difference between components, 3-ways, etc...which is best? I don't really care for bass (not into rap much) i'd like some nice high's. Any recommendations ? I don't know whether to go to my local bestbuy etc.. How hard is installation ? i've got 2 finalists on a head unit ....sony cd player or pioneer head unit which one would yall recommend ? would the stereo be enough to push the speakers for the sound i want? sorry for all the questions....i'm pretty useless when it comes to knowing about car electronics....thanks in advance for any help....eli

WOW! Another Corpus person lol. I would definately go Pioneer. I have the 8600 deck with Kenwood Components up front, then stock monsoon all the way back. The front sizes are 6 1/2's, the mid are 6 1/2 just subs, and the rear are 4x6 I believe. I installed my front speakers and my cd deck, so if you need any help, just hit me up.

Re: Need Help

On that particular pioneer unit you picked out, I have not heard it. Im sure though from reading the specs it is pretty close to mine. Up front I would definately upgrade speaker wise because the stock ones will sound too low for the new deck. I got these http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1072284520517 I mounted the 6 1/2 in the door and the tweeter I mounted on my sail panels. Sounds real good. If you want to check it out before you go buy em, let me know and we can meet up somewhere.

01 Z with Monsoon has 4" full range in back hatch area. The rest is correct.
