I'm looking to upgrade all of the speakers in my neon. I'm not looking to add any amps just yet though. Any suggestions?

I happen to like my Pioneer subs and my sonys in the doors. If and when I replace my dash speakers they will be Kenwood or Pioneer.
Now if I had money to blow id buy all Rockford Fosgate.

I'm not sure what size speakers fit in neons but i've always liked pioneer 6x9's. They sound great without an amp, and even better with one.

Ive got Kenwood all around playing from a Blaupunkt stereo. Old stereo, blown out 6X9s but still bumps hard as hell for some reason.

That would drive me insane, I cant stand riding with people with blown speakers :D

I used to run Clarion in my Neon and even without an amp, the clarity and quality was incredible and when I added subs and a couple amps it was very well balanced out

My Polk Audio's are really clear but they come with a price tag. I am kind of disapointed with my Infiniti's but they will handle a lot of power and play louder than shit.

What is the RMS rating on those 6x9's?
HoodooGuru

From memory the only thing I can tell u is they are 550 watters. Add them with a powered sub on the standard head unit and u have a great system.

LOUD MUSIC RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got two Pioneer 10's with 2 Sony Xplode Door speakers. The doors are run off the stereo alone and the subs are run off a 760 watt Pioneer amp. I need to buy some 6x9s and new door speakers that can handle some real power so that I can hook up my 200 watt Pioneer amp to them. Other than that mine sounds great.

You wanna talk about loud? I'm using a 600w 4channel amp for my 6x9's and a 1000w RMS amp for my three 10's. Its all in the sig.. :rck:

Ive never heard of 6x9's with as much wattage as the ones on their website. The most powerful ones you find in stores are under 150rms and the speakers on their site are like 350rms, are they on a different scale maybe?

Truthfully your own ears can help you pick a brand, just listen to each speaker from cheap to expensive. Then check your wallet and pick on in between. 3-way 6 1/2s are nice. your dash 3 1/2s can easily be switched to 4 inch with little mod. of course you can always do what I did, and install 2- 6 1/2s on the dash, doors and 4 across the back window, hope to add pics to show my neons upgrades. it all looks like its suppose to be there!! metra stereo kits makes 6 1/2 door pods for chevy door panels and you can mount them anywhere and I mean anywhere. I am gonna still add two more to rear doors after I install a power window kit. Not much bass from 6 1/2s but my 3 JLs makes up for it. :rck:
