I'm new with car audio and want to try a small DIY upgrade. Can anyone recommend the best route to go? I've done extensive searching and really don't know which is best.
My objectives/notes:
* I have the base system.
* Relatively low cost.
* Keep the factory head unit.
* I'm not looking for a comp system; just a modest improvement.
Option #1:
Replace stock speakers with Kappa coaxial speakers. 2 ohm in the front and 4 ohm in the rear. Possible replacement of the tweeters in pillars. Add a single channel amp and replace the sub with a free-air Perfect 10"
Option #2:
Replace stock speakers with Kappa coaxial speakers. 2 ohm in the front and rear. Possible replacement of the tweeters in pillars. Add a five channel amp for all of the speakers. Replace the sub with a free-air Perfect 10"
Two additional questions:
1. Will I need a cleansweep?
2. The Kappa's I purchased have built-in crossovers. Will this work with standard wiring? Has anyone installed the 52.9i's?
