how do i remove the stock mids in my 97 CL.....? help asap

 

The door speakers you can just unscrew after removing the speaker grills. Be careful of the depth you get for new speakers, the 6.5" that are in there are tiny as hell. The tweeters on your dash, you can just pop up with a small flat head screw driver. The 6x9's are a pain, you have to unscrew the 3 screws in the trunk underneath the deck to remove the grills, then remove the 4 hex screws that hold each 6x9 in. I had to get depth extenders because my speakers for the doors and deck were too beefy.

 

Can you get the door speakers off with just removing the grill? i thought you had to take off the whole panel.

 

You should be able to get to the screws behind the grill. I haven't removed them in a while, but I remember the helms manual showing you can just remove them.

 

Cuz one time i pulled that grill off and i think 1 maybe two of the screws are behind the panel. i may be wrong though.

 

Yeah, you have to take off the whole door panel.

 

thx guys for the help in about a month ill have my car slumpin crazy... and any suggestions for subs and 6x9's? i was gonna go with a 12 hx2 and infinity 6x9's

 

you might want to ask wakeboardfusion.. hes pretty knowledgeable about sound

 

I have infinity reference 5.25"s in doors and and 6 by nines in back (3 ways) and tweeters up front and they fuckin scream crystal clear. The best bet is to go to a car stereo store (several, actually) with employees who know what they are talking about to compare the brands. Different brands have different distinct sounds. Infinitys, for example, have silk tweeters, that will sound much different than say Alpine's, which have a brighter sound. Anyway, after you go store to store and figure out what you want, go online and find them and save a ton. Trust me.

One more thing- be sure to hear them with and without the amp if you plan on using only your deck to power them. They will sound completely different.

 

I'd suggest some of these alpines: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-OMeiu6s...0&I=500SPS690A

Especially if youre going for the subs. They have nice highs if you want to balance out the bass.

 

My system before some of it got stolen was awesome and I got it for $820 total brand new before shipping and that includes HU, 6.5's, 6x9's, 2 amps, and 2 10inch subs. I bought Pioneer everything except for the amps. The amps were JBL. I bought all my stuff from thezeb.com and etronics.com.

Alot of people badmouth anything from Pioneer that aren't Headunits but they are an extremely good value company except for amps. Heck, my 2 subs (before they were stolen) were $40 dollar single voice coil pioneer subs, and you would expect them to sound like sh*t but I heard them in somebodies car and I thought they sounded good so I got them and the bass was real good. Tight and deep. Pioneer amps really do suck, or at all that i've encountered.

Man, my cousins and friends all have systems in their cars and mines blew away all the systems that were in the budget range and was on par with my cousin who had a $2,000 dollar system and one of my friends who spent OVER $2,000.

 

YAY! the tweeters pop off huh? That was the only discouraging factor to getting started on my car. Its on now.

 

for the subs go with JL Audio...i have a 12w3 in a ported box with a rockford fosgate 640watt amp bridged to it and it sounds great....

 

Yessir, here's what they look like



They just pop out, and yes you have to take the door panel off for the 6.5's

 

Ive got the pioneer four ways in the doors and the pioneer five way 6x9s in the back and i think they sound great.
