Hey, need some help please
I'm installing a system in my 96' monte carlo and was wondering if u could give me some info i cant find any online. What are the stock speaker sizes? i bought some 5 1/4 for the front hoping those are the right size, i guessed just by how my stock ones sounded. and im sure theyre 6x9's in the back, correct? this is my head unit im installing:
i have 2 12's and a 1000 watt amp coming in the mail which should be here on monday. i have the headunit mount kid, amp install kit, all i need now is new 6x9's. my 5 1/4 that i got are pioneers. well my question is, do u have any install guides on removing the stock headunit and putting in my new one? i cant find anything anywhere. im new on this board and i really dont wanna search thru hundreds of posts looking for this, i know it sounds lazy but could u please help i'd appreciate it. im installing everything tomorrow, and doing the subs and amp when they get here. thx

RE: Hey, need some help please
a quick way of findin your speaker sizes is to go to circuitcity.com and do the "see what fits my vehicle" thing. it'll only show you speakers that fit, and that'll be the speaker size. as for removing the head unit, you're gonna have to remove the dash panel and disconnect it of course. that'll take about an hour if you're not a pro, maybe longer...have fun with that. as for the 6x9's, more than likely, you'll blow those with that much pushin from your 12's, so be ready to buy more. hope you didn't pay more than 200 for that amp either...i found a 1200 watt power acoustik for under 250. but i stuck to my 500 watt one. it's pushing 2 12's that can only handle 300 watts, but oh how they pound. (the secret is to get a better box). have fun with that installation. a basic guide should have come with the hu install kit.

i get stereo equipment wholesale. so my 1000 watt amp only cost me 70 dollars 
nice eh? and im not using the amp to push anything except the subs, ill use my head unit to push my 6x9's and door speakers. what kind of box do you have for your 12's? i have ****ty subs, theyre Pyle blue series. everyone hates on me for having them but i think they hit hard as hell. the guy i bought them from let me listen to some before i purchased them.

You could goto walmart and drop 50 - 100 on a code reader that will work on any car 1996 on up.

I love mine too. Helps with the darn O2 sensor going off with the hi flow cat I have. I use it for alot of other vehicles too and when I picked up my truck I was able to plug in and check out some specs. Helped me drop the price $200.
