get ready for a few(lots) radom speaker Q's
I have the Bose system (94), but when i look at the speakers in the rear deak their is 4 holes and only 3 speakers, one of which does not have the bose sticker on it (a stock one). So if you look at it from the inside of the trunk it is like this {Driverside[0 Ø X 0]passenger} 0 = bose speaker Ø = non-bose X = void, no speaker. the empty spot has a foam insert. The car was purchased used, and the dealer said that it had a system in it, so did i get screwed out of a speaker? or is it built like that from the factory? And if I wanted to add a speaker could I?
Now part two, I want to add a new headunit, most likely an alpine to match the changer I have (alpine chm-630). I would also like(need) an AUX input for my iPOD, i hate FM modulaters. But wanting an AUX input my possiblities are limited. any ideas around 250$ and it has to work with the changer, an adapter would be fine.
now for power, with the bose system, I have door speakers (front/back), the front deak, and the back deck. that is 8-10 speakers (if i replace that misfit speaker above and the void with a set). so could a headunit that is whatever watts x 4ch work or is an amp needed?
What speakers would you recommend to replace the Bose? As of now i like the infinity Kappa, any thoughts? I am up for about 135$ + or -. I just want good sounding mids and highs, am trying to avoid a sub. A friend of mine has a 300E with 2-12's and a good amount of power, 2 amps that total 1000+ watts, not all for the subs. but he was saying that you need alot for a benz to sound good, his install is kind of ghetto so is he full of shit or not?
last thing i swear, is it worth waiting till after X-mas for sales, how much is the mark down?
I know it is alot at once sorry and thanks! i am beginner at this car audio stuff.
