What can you do for an aftermarket deck (radio/cd player)

Does the 02 Mitsu eclipse give you the option to add aftermarket stereo?

I would start there and look for a good cd player with preamp outputs from pioneer or kenwood.

thanks.

how about after that?

JayDubya · Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2004 7:17 pm Post subject:

After that, I would look for a good amplifier from MTX, Memphis, Rockford, JBL, JL, Alpine, or any other good manufacturer.
Same with the sub woofers. Just try to Match the RMS wattage of the woofers with the RMS wattage of the amp. It is ok to overpower the woofers but do not underpower them. It can cause lots of distortion and damage.
It would also be a good idea to look into component speakers for the rear deck and the doors or dash. Wherever the other speakers are.

For you car ( i had a 2002 spyder so it should sound good in yours too ) i had 3 12in Rockford subs 2 rockford amps and 8 rockford speakers in my car and had it powered by a Kenwood cd/mp3 player. Kenwood it my fav. deck and i would recommend it to you :) I like it because it gave me a "THUMP" but also sounded nice and crisp without distortion. There products are also user friendly and not complicated. Nuthing like listening to AC/DC after work and having it feel like your in the front roe next to the speakers at their concert.

Alpine CDA-9833 headunit/deck..whichever you prefer to call it.

Alpine Type-S 2 way speakers all around..(2 pairs)

Rockford first gen, 10" Punch with custom box..

Yeah, Sony isn't too bad. What mattered to me was the cost of everything after my Best Buy discount....WOW it was great...Here is the breakdown

Cost after discount:
Head:$78
6 1/2's: (all four) $84
Box: $52
12's: $130 for two
Amp: $111

I ended up saving somewhere around $700!!! I was happy.

If you don't have connections, its hard.

If you eBay, it might be pretty easy to beat.
