Hey everyone!
So, my shop is chasing an electrical issue on my rig (1997) and they've narrowed the problem down...and in fixing the issue, the dash has to come apart so, I've decided to (ONE) get the Locking Center Diff button installed and (TWO), update the stereo.
I've been gifted a Kenwood (DDX418) Double Din Bluetooth deck...
BUT...
In looking at all the forum postings there are A LOT of notations on speakers...but nothing recent without deep diving into ALL the posts. So, I wanted to open up a new one because I really prefer not to cut anything, if possible...new holes are fine though.
I'm looking to keep the factory grills (if possible) but I'm seeing in a lot of forums that 6.5" speakers can fit the front (provided the depth doesn't break 1.85") and the rear doors should be 4" but I've also seen notes where 6.5" can fit (without any cutting).
I'm running the Kenwood deck (Although slightly outdated, it is NIB - DDX418 model - 4 channel 50 watts per channel per specs) and an older alpine 4 channel 150 watt amp that the PO left in the rig that's been verified as working; an 8' shallow mount (PYLE) 800 sub will go where the factory sub was/is located
Pioneer and Kenwood are good speakers and what I'm leaning to since they are fairly inexpensive...I've looked at PYLE also and I'm a huge fan of JBL. Some people have noted now discontinued Pioneer speakers or Sony XPLOD.
So, help and thoughts, opinions, and advice? What are you running that had zero to limited cutting/modifying for speakers?
Thanks in advance!
