LOOK DOWN FOR NEW STUFF


alirght well i want to get some new speakers for my truck because the ones i have arent the greatest and im still squeezed for money because im trying to buy a new truck. i was looking around and found these for cheap and they are sony so i figured they should be good quality.



they are 5x7 which is supposed to fit the truck. 160peak watts with 40 rms, if you want any more specs its here http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....5&type=product

also how many watts does the stock head unit of a 99 put out just so i know if i should get a head unit before the speakers.

thanks

if i rmember correctly.. which i probably am not, the stock headunit puts out about 18 to 19 watts per speaker.. giver or take a couple...

as far as getting sony speakers.. those will be better than your stockers.. but wont be anything phenominal. sony does a good job of covering the electrical market by making a little bit of everything, but as far as speakers go, they arent among the greatest, if you know what i mean.. they'll handle better than what you have now with your stock headunit and all.. and if you are tight on money right now.. then they'd be a good enough improvement.

 

yea ive moved up to some pioneer 6x8 3way speakers that are 220watts 50 rms whicha are what my freind has in his car and they are really nice...

do you know if thats rms or peak?

anyone else wanna take a stab at the stock wattage just so i know if it will be worth spending 150$ to get 10 more watts

 

it was RMS im pretty sure. it doesnt sound like a lot, i know.. but.. thats about all it gives out!

good to see your gonna get something a little better too.. id go with the pioneers as well over the sonys.. plus, if you ever get an aftermarket headunit.. the pioneer will perform a little better than the sonys.

 

RMS. The 2003 CD6 put out 21 or 22 watts. The newer 2004+ versions put out more. Doesn't matter a whole lot because 1-3 watts is splitting hairs.

A 96 model stereo will be even less. You can look up the more recent stereos on www.visteon.com.

It requires Double the wattage to increase sound output by 3 dB. So 10 more watts over 20 watts might give you around 1-2 extra dB's. That's volume (SPL). But you should have sigificant increase in fidelity (Sound quality) but upgrading from the stock stereo.

 

NOOOO

SONY IS TERRIBLE!!!! STAY AWAY!!!

for the samn price you can probably find some type s or type r Alpine speakers, i HIGHLY reccomend them!!!
