I need to upgrade the speakers in the vert. I have an alpine head unit replacing the stock stereo, and I need to install a proper amp and speakers getting rid of the factory bose nightmare.
I'm going to go with a digital amp, based on reading several threads. the question of the day is, can i do 6x9s in the front and rear? I had seen that people have done them in the doors, but are they a PITA? is there room in the back to install them where the factory speakers are? if not, how big can I go? I'm not sure i want a sub in the car at all, but if I must for decent sound, any recommendations where?

Here's the deal with a Vert. Unless you stick with the base in the doors, you will have no bass.

Seriously.

Forget about a sub box in the trunk with the top down. You will not hear it. It will sound great with the top up. But once you put the top down, all that base just floats away.

So your only option is that sub unit that JL or JBL makes that fits behind the head rests. But to me, that would leave the bass pounding in your head, plus it's ridiculously expensive.

I had the same problem - two times, both with Verts. What I wish I had done was found a way to make those 8" shallow-mount Pioneer woofers work in the door. Then use 5.25s in the rear. A mini-amp should complete the system.

On this remodel, take advice only from Vert owners. It's a totally different ballgame if you want killer sound with the top down.
