Default New speakers or just head unit?

i have an alpine deck and 2 decent amps. i will surely install that alpine deck or a better one but do i need aftermarket speakers. should i replace all four or just the rears ( i have an 03). Are there rears? i just got the car yesterday. if not can i install easily?
i like loud crisp highs and mids, but also powerful bass. i will probably add a 10 inch sub. Any suggestions. Thanks, i know there are faqs on this but i would like answers to my specific questions. thanks again. peace out. later for these hata playas. what. late

there are no rear speakers. you should replace the front speakers if you plan on using the amp. If not, the alpine will power your stock speakers fine. maybe get u a little more quality, tuneablitly, and volume, but not much. Stock speakers really suck.

How about some specs? what alpine model? what amps? what speakers do u plan on getting?

Hello and welcome to the board!

Since you know about the FAQ section I honestly think you should read it. I know theres a lot of info in it, Butttt you will find all the answers to your questions and an whole lot more.

Either way like Duff said you need to get us the Alpine deck model number for us to be able to tell you if its a good idea or not. Most likely it will be better than the stock deck.

As for speakers. Your car has 4 (2-tweeters and 2-woofers) all in the doors. The stock woofers in the doors should look pretty much like this(this is a 2002 picture but close enough for you):


If you would like to add rear speakers, you have 2 options that are fairly easy. You can get a shallow basket rear speakers and mount them in the vented panels behind the seats like this:





Or you can get a set of S-Pods like this:




See this thread for more details on S-pods here
