Default New Speakers

Does anyone have experience in adding aftermarket speakers? Im thinking that it wont be as easy as just swapping them and wirring up the news ones due to the difference in recommended RMS powers, or sometuhng like that. Im not too educated in audio equipment so any information would be greatly appreciated.

Go over to the audio section and do some searches. There is a lot of info on changing speakers. I did mine and they sound great.

Yep, you should find the info you need in the Audio/Electronics section of the Forum.

Good luck!

The Audio guys are awesome and very helpfull. I'll warn you though, I ventured over there with the hope of just changing my 3 1/2 fronts and ended up with a new HU, front components, an 600w amp and a sub in the rear. Now that it's done, I couldnt be happier though.

Here's what I ended up with. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1458936
