Thread: eclipse

hello. i am wanting to get new speakers for my 2006 base model grand prix. the local radio shop is running a deal for eclipse speakers. i have never heard of them but the shop said its the best brand they sell. i can get the fron to and rear deck speakers for $100 a pair. is that good? and is there a better brand i should look at.

all i want is a nice upgrade to my stock system. i want to keep the stock head unit and dont want to up grade the alternator. so i am just thinking speakers. does this sound good?

thanks.

if it is not apparent all i want is good sound save some money. and good bass with out a sub and amp with out an after market head unit.

good bass without an amp... Not possible if you're keeping stock locations unless you're only looking to hear the midbass. Or just some of it

well let me say this. my stock speakers sound real good to me. i am wanting to upgrade because one is out. but before it went out i thought they sounded good with bass. just had to keep volume low. so if it will do the same as stock but go louder i will be happy.

do you think it will?

thanks

do you have the monsoon system?

If yes, then no, it'll have a soft clipping.

If no, then it might, not sure if the base head units have soft clipping.

Soft clipping basically means, no matter how much you crank it, it just doesnt get any louder and won't clip.

I don't have to monsoon system. So should I just get a sub and replace the bad speakers? Is that best?

get some 8" subs and put them where the rear 6x9's are and replace the front speakers and call it a day

And that word sound good? What power would I need for 2 8" ? And would the stock head unit sound fine pushing the front speakers? And then some amp for the rear subs?

So I will need 2 amps. And all this will hook up to the stock head unit?

Yes and no...

Yes, you'll need 2 amps.

It won't hook right up to the stock head unit but...

The best bet is get a LOC and hook it up to the rear speaker wires in the trunk.

If you're smart about your amp shopping, you can get an amp that will take high level inputs so you don't need to buy a LOC.

Well this is all some what confuseing. But I will see what the audio shop says

Ok. I will do some thing like that.

is crutchfeild any good? i looked there and they have so many things to choose from.

can any one tell me what numbers a speaker should have to give good sound? i will get a sub later but i just want clear sound and some bass. i want to keep the stock head unit also.

thanks
