Default new audio system





hey guys im in the process of building an 85 gt and currently it has no radio so im putting one in. i have a pioneer deck and thats it right now. im going to install sirius but my real question is, im not a huge fan of loud bass or anything like that i just want a clean sounding radio that sounds good and i dont care if i have subs or not. if i use my deck and get (2) 6x9 infinity speakers and (2) 3.5 inch infinity speakers and run new speaker wire will that be suffincent? i dont mind get the best speakers if i dont have to get a sub cause again, bass bothers so the bass that the speakers put out should be enough? and i need to know what speakers i should get, there was 2 ways, 3 ways ect. i have no idea. thanks for the help, john [align=right][/align]

What year is your car. Yes to the question about wiring the door and dash speakers together, left to left, right to the right side. Just hook the rears to the rear and you should be good.
