1. Does best buy sell components worth buying. I know they carry rockford and pioneer but are they good quality or should I buy something different.

2. I have a 5th gen max and I wanted to replace all the speakers. The 2 in the front doors 2 in the rear doors with 6.5's (havent decided what kind yet)and the 2 tweets. Can I use a 4 channel amp to run these six speakers or is that possible. and how would I hook them up. Examples would be great.

 

1. I'm a fan of Pioneer decks. The deck in my '95 Max came out of my old Dodge. It's eleven years old and works just fine. As for Pioneer and RF amps and subs. The quality is good but better can be had for the same price and sometimes less. You just have to be willing to look beyond the brand names and trust the recommendations of complete strangers here.
2. Yes, a 4 channel amp will push 6 speakers. The front component speakers will have a passive crossover to direct the correct frequency range to the correct speaker (woofer or tweeter).

Excellent answer Robert. A 4 channel amp is recommended when running components. Pioneer and Rockford make nice stuff, but it's not the best.

 

Very nice Robert. yes Pioneer makes great internal speakers, especially if amp them, not sure about Fosgates but im sure they would be fine too

 

I'll agree with the rest. Personally, i would go with Pioneer speakers before Rockford speakers. Any combination should give you something decent though. Good luck.

 

you guys are very helpful. I appreciate the responses.

 

I love my pioneer head unit and infinity speakers. Have it all amped. As long as they are good quality you should be very pleased. It seems every company makes one componet the best. Its all about getting that synergy down. And its different for everyone's ears.

 

yea....big fan of pioneer deck too......check into Keenwood components....i belive best buy has a set that goes for abour $150.....i've heard those speakers in different cars and i was shocked.....their sq and freq response was quite amazing.....

 

Yeah I was thinkin about the kenwoods too but I didnt know if they where any good any more. I know back in the day everybody was runnin kenwood Hi's and the sounded real good. I dont know the quality of them these days. I am stumped. I don't know what to get. I want something that sounds really good but I don't wanna spend no more than $150-200 for a set. Then I gotta buy an amp. So if anybody has any ideas keep them comin.

Best buy ripped me off, they charged me 160$ FOR A $70 RF capacitor
Speakers $99 / Overstock.com had them for $59.99
RF Amp @ $249.99 i found on sounddomain @ $169.99

I returned the RF punch subs cause they suck.
My solo baric was like $120 plus 50 for box.

My HU straight from amazon.

Wires for dual AMP input, best buy ripped me off @ $159.99 , you can find them for 60 bucks RF dual amp wiring.

Over all i spent 1400 or so at best buy, half the sh*** i ripped out and returned. everything else then i ordered from the internet...

piece by piece i am doing it now....

do not buy retail, never!

fug them!

 

dont nessecarily need to buy the crap from bestbuy, but some of the stuff they have is okay.. i didnt buy my HU from bestbuy but they had it there at one time (i bought it off ebay for like 150 bucks cheaper )

 

Hey dude, I put 6.5 all the way around, and if you use the factory wires up in the front it automaticly patch power to the tweeters. no need 6 channel.
