The Kappa 6.1 set are actually 4 speakers, so if ya want to get technical, your new system will be an 8 speaker system, but 6 "channels" of amplified power, counting front L/R, rear L/R, and subs x2 In this new layout, your 6x0s will act as rear seat mids/highs and midbass response, and your 12" subs will be for the low end extension. in the case of your factory system, front speakers were mids/highs for front seats, back doors were mids/highs for back seats, and rear deck are "woofers" for low end extension. Sorry to keep pushing the issue, but is there ANY reason to EVER consider using six speakers? Would speakers in the rear door panels help at all?" you'll be all set.Īll you'll need is the proper amp wiring kit, which would be 4AWG, and $30 at

If you go with the CDA-9815 it has EQ and crossover built into the CD/MP3 player. accessories to make this system perform?" "Speaking of crossovers, will I need any EQs, Crossovers, or other misc. the midrange and tweeter are separate for better imaging. That's the model you want for the fronts. Posted on Thursday, Ap16:54 GMT"Also, what are "separates?" Is that the same as component speakers? And if I'm only getting 2-way speakers, are there any particular models that have better high-end response (almost like a built-in crossover)?" Like I said, I want the best sound, and since I have 6 speaker slots available, I figure I can put in a pretty killer system. I have a lot of audio experience with live sound reproduction and reinforcement, but I'm a relative newbie at Car Audio. Rear Seats: 6"x9" 2- or 3-way speakers (with more emphasis on low frequency sounds)Īlso, what is the best order to replace/add components for this system? I can't afford to do them all at once (buying the car kind of cleaned me out), but I'll probably spend at least $1500 over just the next 6-12 months on this system (and maybe more after that), so I want to get my money's worth.Īny help would be much appreciated. Rear Door: 5 1/4" 3-way speakers (again, best overall sound) What is the best combination of Amps, Speakers, and Subs to create the best sound? This is the initial idea I had:įront: 6"x8" 3- or 4-way or component speakers (for best highs/overall sound while driving) I'm planning on having this car for a long time (3-5 years), so I'm willing to plunk some cash into this system. I'm looking for the best way to incorporate a six-speaker system, with the possibility of adding a subwoofer later on. However, it also has precut/vented spots for speakers in the rear door panels.

It has 4 factory speakers installed (2 in the front door panels, 2 behind the headrests in the back seats). It has a nice Pioneer DEH-P550MP head unit, but I'm considering replacing it with a unit that has Cassette, CD, and an Front AUX Input for my laptop/PDA (any recommendations for such a Head Unit would be much appreciated). Visit for vehicle specific antenna, audio and steering wheel interface options.Posted on Monday, Ap09:09 GMTI just bought a '99 Mazda Protege ES.A tech support number is available for installation help 7 days a week.

Installing an aftermarket radio can upgrade the sound quality and provide additional features the original factory radio couldn’t offer but requires this dash kit to make it fit. The dash kit is contoured to match the original look and feel of the vehicle’s dashboard. The pocket is not needed when installing a 4” tall radio. This dash kit makes radio replacement simple and comes with a built-in pocket that is located below the 2” radio to fill the extra space in the radio opening, which can be used for storage.

This stereo installation kit has been engineered to help you install either a 2” tall (Single- DIN) or a 4” tall (Double- DIN) aftermarket radio into the original vehicle dashboard.
