Full system install Help please

scottnybottny2 · Post by **scottnybottny2** » Sun Apr 16, 2006 5:35 pm

I am looking at a full install with:

6 channel amp
12\" sub
6 x 9\'s
2 x 13cm components

The first thing that i need help with is the front speakers. Will i need new speakers mountings???

And will the extra weight of all of these things in the back reduce my performance???

Any help would be great.

I\'m not sure on speakers, if you intend to mount them in the original door mounts you\'ll have to buy the correct size, maybe 5.25\" but im not sure, not replaced mine yet! Let us know how you get on!

It depends on what you build your install with, at the mo i have two 10\" subs in MDF boxes and they are heavy! In the next few weeks im doing a fibreglass install, which will be lighter and as strong. There are some good tutorials around on the web for doing this.

i cant remember the exact size of my front speakers but i know i got some new mounts which where like a tenner from Halfords. then ive got a 12\" sub in teh boot on a monoamp and have jsut changed my rear speakers which are hidden under the plastic by the parcel shelf as 6x9 jsut atract attention and are the most common thing goin and unles the 6 channel amp is mega i wouldnt see it puttin much out per channel cause if u got a good head unit u can run ur 6x9 off them and ur door speakers cause they will probs be bout 150w any way and ur 6x9 maybe 300w but this will be peak. but its up to u
