> Questions:
> How hard is it to install speakers & amp myself (well, with a friend)?
Not all that hard. It just takes time to run all the wires.
> If I get separate tweeters, where's a good place to mount them?
Just put them in the stock locations on the doors. Now I would spend alittle
extra here and get a decent set of components, cause all your music is gonna
be coming from them. Leave the stock speakers in the rear and run those off
of the head unit.
> Where can I put the amp? Is under a front seat clear enough?
Depends on the size of the amp. Some will fit, you'll need to get some
washers and use those as spacers to lift the seat up.
I went with a pioneer amp and just could'nt get it too fit under the seat so
I took out the rear storage under the seats and put it there.
> How big an amp should I go with? Any recommended brands/models?
That depends on the speakers you get. I got MB Quartz components in the
front doors and they can handle up to 130w. So I got a 2 channel pioneer amp
100w/channel.
I would reccomend Precesion Power, Pheonix Gold. There are other good ones,
just can't think of them now.
> Will I need a separate amp for a subwoofer, which will come probably next
> spring at the earliest?
Yes you will but there are some good options here. You could get an
infinity basslink, which is what I have. It's a 10" sub with a 200w amp all
in one unit. It hits pretty hard. There is also an MTX setup that will
replace the rear under seat storage area with one that holds 2 10"s and an
amp. The idea I have been playing around with now is to put 2 8" subs in
the rear speakers stock location. And then put another amp for them under
the seat.
Some online places to shop:
www.sounddomain.com
www.autotoys.com
www.thezeb.com
Those places have the best prices on the net. I figured I saved around $500
purchase online as opposed to local retailers and installing it myself.
