Default My GTS

I drive an 05 eclipse GTS. I moved my Kicker L7 to this car from my other one. I want to put some better speakers, kind of leaving it with either kicker, planet audio, or infinity any better suggestions are welcome. I dont want anything as loud as my cavalier was i had 1000 watts going to my components and ~800 (1600 watt bridged) to my L7 which im still using. My lanzar amp is enough for what my ear likes for right now, but I would like my inside to be a little louder or at least sound better. So my question is what are the speaker sizes on the inside, what brand would you suggest and what would sound a bit louder than the factory amp in there. thanks in advance

6.5 in the front with 1.25 in the "shark fins" then 6x9 in the rear.
Dont waste your time with the center channel. Disconnect it. But if you must, its a 4" I think.
If you want one out of your list, Id use the Infinity reference series. Otherwise, I like Nakamichi... really not the most cost efficient... but highest quality... and theres a difference between loud and clear.

Thier newer stuff isnt all that wonderful, they kinda went downhill in the earlier part of the decade. But you can still find thier old stuff on Ebay and the like.

oh and another thing. Infinity 6x9's magnets are bigger than average, so if i got a 6x8 would that still fit into there? I'm not planning on breaking out the power hacksaw by the way ha just trying to get something that will fit the first time.

The amp is under the passenger seat. Get the wire color code (on here somewhere) and run your head unit wires down to the floorboard. Connect them together. Make sure you get your colors right though. +/- correct too.

Well...ok sorry i meant to say how do I integrate it my bad. But i know i need a cable but Ive seen every price in the book for these things whats a good price? By the way i really didnt want to run all that extra wire because this new head unit is already pissing me off as it is haha.
