I am not very smart when it comes to audio, I've always taken my vehicles to a shop and have them talk me into buying a lot of **** I don't really need. I just want to get better sound and have everything fit. Not sure if it matter but I listen to mainly metal and trance music (I know, what a combo).
To my understanding, my front doors have factory 6x9's, rears are 5 1/4, and dash are 3 1/2's. I plan to replace everything this week, would just like to understand things a bit better before I attempt to purchase. hoping to make better and more informed decisions.
How much modification do I have to do in order to get 6 1/2's into the rear doors?
Do slim speakers sound as good as "normal" sized speakers?
I do not plan to run amps, how do I know my head unit has enough power to make the new speakers sound decent?
Are speaker baffles needed? Do they make things sound better or are they just meant to protect?
Do I need bass-blockers on the dash speakers?
most speakers that I see have built in tweeters on them, when and why would I add more to the stereo?
Do I need to get component speakers?
and finally, if I get different brands, will they sound any different than getting all speakers in the same brand?
