looks like a good setup. my question is where would the enclosure go and also if im doing a complete overhaul should i put in better speaker wires?

StanceZ37

oh and also you didnt list speakers for the rear so i figured i would go with same brand. im guessing i will need plated for these aswell seeing as the rears are 3.5 and also if i add the 4" will it fit on the amp with sub and 2 fronts+ the tweeters Amazon.com : CTX 4 - Image Dynamics 4" 2-Way Speakers with Silk Tweeters : Vehicle Speakers : Electronics

I didn't forget....lol. I haven't used rear speakers in a car for 20+ years. Simple fact is, you don't need them. I have never been to a concert, or symphony, where there were speakers behind me. That being said, many are stuck on putting them back there, and that's their choice. I won't hate on it.... My suggestion to you is this.... When installing the head unit and amp, run 2 sets of speaker wire to the back in case you decide to put a set in there, you can run them off head unit power, and go with a direct fit 3.5" speaker. no muss, no fuss.
If you are dead set on having them back there, by all means, put them in right away, you can always control with the fader to on/off.

oh i didnt know that and to be quite honest with you i never knew there were speakers behind me untill i started reading up on it yesterday lmfao!

StanceZ37

Ron i also want to know i have never done anything with audio in a car so this will be my first time doing it.. do you think the install will be easy or should i just bring the car to an audio shop and have them install it? If its an easy install ill do it myself..

StanceZ37

hey Ron out of curiosity will that amp allow me to fit in those 4" rear speakers.. because im thinking my interior will be stripped down anyways so it would probably be best to just stick them in there instead of having to do that later on down the road..?

StanceZ37

hey ron im curious.. with the things you listed is there say anything else couple bucks more thats worth getting over the stuff you listed. because im thinking if im going to do a full install a minus well get good stuff. (not saying the things you listed isnt.)
