Hello, new 5g owner, i've been reading up on the 5g audio, as i want to upgrade it,

just have a few questions

i will be putting in a new deck, 4x50 probably a pioneer,
for the front doors, a set of 6.5 pioneer speekers that i currently have in my old car,

1. will i be able to hook up the stock tweeters to the pioneer speakers the same way they are currently hooked up?


2.
rear option,
will a new HU enchance the way the OEM 6x9's sound? stock is 20W rms correct? if so i will be leaving rear stock in place,


3.
what to do with a 600w 2ch amp currently powering my 12" in old car
its a sony, 250w bridged, 100rms/channel (600w my ass, sony is **** IMO!)

i can leave stock 6x9's with new HU, and drop in my 12" or thinking of smaller 10"

or i can get a set of 6x9 and power them with the amp?

Or i have a set of 8" subs i can use instead of the 6x9 or instead of the 12" with the amp?

well i can't help you out on much of your questions, but.... i (a long time ago) installed a alpine head unit with the factory speakers and it sounded much better than the factory head unit. after that i went wild and replaced everything. LOL!

also, welcome to PO

1. As long as you don't rewire your door speakers to the deck, your factory tweeters will remain functional unless you disconnect them.

2. Leave the rear 6x9's in place, unless they're blown & need replacing.

3. Don't hook up that amp to your 6x9's. Connect them to the substage of your choice, 8's, 10's, 12... it's up to you.

thanks,

i guess leaving the rear speakers is the best bet, alot of ppl seem to agree on that from looking at other Forums plus i will end up leaving the feedback system in place

i like the 12 in my mazda right now, but its kinda big! so i have to play around with the trunk options

what about deck installation? i've looked at double dins and they are pretty ugly with the lower pocket being really small! i've read some people had really ****ty instals do i get a single din and attach the pocket? or is it possible to install a deck into the stock harware/console?

The factory deck opening is double din. When you install a double din head unit, there is no pocket.
