Interior Speakers
 

I was offered Brand new in the box 6x9's but they are from walmart... I took them for no reason and i was wondering what is better these or the factory speakers..
And Also what size speakers go in the Front doors.?

Ive read a lot of threads on here about car stereos and it seems that most people say that the stock amp dont sound good with aftermarket speakers. You could hook them up and try them out tho.

All things considered, our stock systems arent too bad. What throws things off is the fact on the premium systems they used 2ohm speakers. Since most aftermarket speakers are 4ohms thats where the "problem" comes in. Upgrading the speakers only will result in an upgrade based on the sound but you wont get the same volume due to the increased resistance. Not only that, but you'll still have to deal with the integrated bass inhibit once the volume goes above a certain level. I highly suggest replacing the head unit when you replace the speakers, or an aftermarket amp and bypass the factory one.

To bypass factory amp on a 00-01, installing aftermarket and running new wires to speakers, can i just unplug it or do I need the bypass for it. I will also maintain the factory headunit , for now.

Thanks.

If you're keeping the stock head unit, get the bypass plug

If you're keeping the stock headunit, don't bother with aftermarket speakers, they won't sound as good as the stock ones off the stock headunit.

It probably will make it even worse if you go and bypass the stock amp also.

Well, I blew my factory speakers and I have already replaced with Infinity Kappa's. The sound quality is not much better, but like with a nice set of headphones you can hear more. Anyways all I need to do is add the amp and I already have run my power wire. I just do not want to want to do work twice, that's all. I will replace my H/U when I do my gauges and HVAC controls.

That's not been my experience. When I did this, the aftermarket speakers sounded better but they just didn't get as loud. Of course it all depends on speaker selection....I wouldn't expect the speakers listed in the OP to be much of an upgrade.

Am I required to use the bypass or can I just unplug it?

are you keeping the stock headunit or no? If not and adding an amp then you can just unplug it

For now I am keeping it. I will add most likely at tax time next year.

wait until you swap it out until you do anything then, that's what I'd do

@Bait - No need to wait to add the amp until you get the head unit. Your amp will work more efficiently and the SQ will be better once you do get the new head unit due to the increased signal strength but until tax time next year you can still do the upgrade and be happy.

Unless he doesn't want to bypass the factory amp to get the signals, just asking for more of a pain and spending money/time to get signal to the new amp when all he'd have to do is run RCAs when he gets the new headunit.

Also, if you really want to chose that route, don't get the bypass plug, bypass it on your own, wire the wires together, that's all the plug does, save yourself $30-50.

I do have a PAC SNI-35.

Bypassing the amp is as difficult as this, unplug the connector from the amp, insert bypass connector, done. Takes all of 5 seconds. The bypass plug can be had all day online for less than $10 so i'm not sure how he'd by saving himself $30-$50 if he were to do it himself, which would

a.) Cost him more than buying one if he were to buy the large connector, contacts and wires needed, not to mention a soldering iron and solder to complete the job if he doesn't already have one.
b.) Be a more permanent solution resulting in modification of the original wiring harness.
c.) Take incredibly more time and cause way more stress during the process.

Getting signal to the new amp is as simple as connecting both rear speakers to a LOC and running rca's from the LOC to the amp. which would set him back a whopping $10<---click me and since he's gonna have to run rca's from the aftermarket deck when he gets it he might as well get the one's he's gonna need then, now.

**Edit**
Since he's already got the LOC, he'd only be spending $10-$15 for the bypass plug (including shipping).

Bait, I say go for it! The only reason not to go for it is if your intention is competing and being competitive in an SQ competition. Other than that bro, nobody is gonna get in your car and take a listen and go "wow man, you must have a LOC hooked up, that sounds horrible!" It'll sound significantly better than you current setup and will hold you over until you can upgrade your deck, once you get your deck you'll have more control over the sound, will have a stronger signal going to your amp and can reset your gain on your amp (resulting in a lower gain setting) due to the much better signal it's getting.

I do feel :hijacked::facepalm:

I'd say it stayed pretty on topic with the first post, the OP never posted back, although all of this information could have been found using the search function tho lol
