Plan on getting 6x9 and 5.25 door speakers was looking at these for 6x9s
Amazon.com: polk audio 6x9
and these for door speakers
Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB521 5.25-Inch Coaxial Speakers (Pair, Silver): Car Electronics
Never used Polk audio just trying to get some input and what small amp would you run wiith those not trying to spend a whole lot

I've had those 6X9's. They are damn good. But personally, I like these better.. The bass is less muddy when cranked and they sparkle.
Pioneer TS-A6994R (TSA6994R) 6" x 9" 600W 3-Way Car Speakers
As for door speakers. Polk makes good ones. The 6.5's I had in my door lasted for 10 months before I took them out, and they were amped and thrashed daily. Still work, just decided to upgrade to components instead.

I think ill go that route what door speakers should I go with what size doesnt require any modifying also what amp would you recommend running for the door speakers and 6x9s thank you
12-30-2012
I'm not sure if 6.5 inch speakers will fit in a Grand Prix. Unfortunately I know Bonneville's better. But anyways, this amp is what is powering my set up. I installed it myself in May. Hasn't given me any problems. Solid little thing.
Hitron HPA400.4 (hpa4004) 400W Max, Pro Series 4-Channel
However, if you want to keep your stock head unit you would need a Line Output converter to give the amp signal. That's how I have mine set up as well.

ok yeah the door speakers are 5 1/4 and that amp is cheap thinking ill be going that route and currently I'm running this head unit
Sony MEX-BT4100P CD receiver at Crutchfield.com
Last question thinking about running these
Amazon.com: Kicker DS693 6"x9" 3-Way Speakers (Pair): Car Electronics
and
Amazon.com: Kicker 11ds525 5.25 Coaxil Speakers Pair Rohs: Electronics
or should i run the pioneers you recommend and
Amazon.com: Pioneer TS-A1374R A-Series 5 1/4" 3-Way 300 Watts: Electronics

also does that amp have enough power for the 6x9s and door speakers?
12-30-2012
The Kickers don't have as good power handling as the Pioneers. I would still go with the Pioneers. As for door speakers, take these into consideration as well.
Pioneer TS-A1304C (TSA1304C) 5.25" 2-Way Component Speaker System
Being components they will sound better than the 3-ways. That's what I would do.
I'm kinda a Pioneer/Polk Audio junky. I'll let others chime in about Kickers. I don't have much experience with the brand.
Combined with your head unit, the amp will be more than enough power for the door and deck speakers. I don't know if you're crazy about bass, but with that amp and those 6X9's I don't think you'll be wanting a sub too much. At least for a while.. Haha.
12-30-2012
Wow thank you for all your help I appreciate it and yea I might hold off I have a audioque 12 2.5 that still needs to be boxed and I still need to find an amp for it but maybe I will wait till spring thanks again for all your input ill let you know how the install goes let me know if you know any good amps for the audioque 12 2.5
12-30-2012
Hmm. I don't know much about subs. But I would try and find a good cheap 5 channel amp. My friend got a used Kenwood 5 channel for like $75. Works like a charm. That's what I wish I could have done, cause now I'm trying to get a sub into my setup for cheap. Browse around on Crutchfield and Sonicelectronix. Check out Diymobileaudio.com. Great car audio forums.
12-30-2012
Alright once again thanks so much and should have the items shipped and installed within the next week ill keep you updated
12-30-2012
What tweeters do you recommend?
12-30-2012
I just put some alpine type s 6 1/2 speakers in my doors so they do fit in case your wondering. Just have to do a little tweaking.
12-30-2012
I have these now.Originally Posted by asite57
Pioneer TS-T15 (tst15) 3/4" Soft Dome Tweeters - Sonic Electronix
I used to have these.
Polk Audio db1001 db Series 1" Diameter / 25mm Silk/Polymer
The Polks sounded great when you were playing them not too loud but when cranked they were too shrill for me. The pioneers are like my stock tweeters but a little clearer.
12-31-2012
And they fit under the stock plastic housing fine? The tweeters I mean
12-31-2012
Still keeps the factory rain gaurd and seals to the door panel like factory.

Both the tweeters needed dremeling to fit. Not a big deal though.

wus the biggest size you can put in ya door speakers without any modifications? I swore 6.5" fitted perfically. I have a 00" Regal GS, so maybe the size is diff from a GTP. I thought they were the same actually...

i bought those 6x9s on cyber monday have em installed and love them!
as far as speaker size goes... i fit these 6.5 in my 05 door with absolutely no modding or anything..
Pioneer TS-A1674R (TS A1674R) 6-1/2" 3-Way A-Series Car Speakers
for the record i used this amp to power the rears and fronts
