I just want to get some tunes in the car nothing big, can you hear it with haveing 2, maybe 4 speakers running off the deck, or is an amp needed? Also where did you place your speakers...

Sounds like a nice installation Vinny. E-mail me your pics and I'll post them.Originally posted by Busa*Vinny:
hi eric ,i would add an amp if you can ,the out put of most receivers is rated in peak power which is also max distortion,thats what kills speakers not power(within reason)
for my install i went with horn speakers which the openings of are about 1-1/2 by 16 inches and they come out right above your shins,they mount to the 2x2,(i have pics if someone can post them)they are out of the way but will still give good imaging and a great soundstage,they are driven by a soundstream reference 500 amp,and i have an mb quart 10 subwoofer in the trunk driven by an ADS ps5 amp,i mounted my head unit and cd changer in the truck and control it with a remote control sony joy stick to keep it out of sight and dry,i used to be heavy into car audio and did some installs on the side so i had this stuff laying around waiting to go in something,good luck.....vinny
Here are Vinny's pictures. I'll bet you can hear those at speed.Originally posted by Busa*Vinny:
