OK. My '99 Contour is a fun car to drive, but its sound system is stock and lacks a lot (as we all know).
Anyway, I have been wanting to upgrade the stock gear for a while now, and think that I am ready. I do NOT want/need some of the killer systems that you all have here. I just want something that when I turn it up, I don't have to turn the bass way down to prevent distortion. I don't need heavy bass, just better sound.
I would like to start with the speakers and then upgrade the head later. It would be great to upgrade the speakers for less than $150 for all 4 (I said low cost, didn't I?!?!)
What are some suggestions? I have a decent pair (hardly used) of 4 year old 6x9 Pioneers that I keep wanting to make work, but these things are 3-way, and VERY deep, plus the metal cage around the back of the woofer is pretty bulky, so they really stick out a great distance which seems to prevent the door grill from fitting correctly. I would like to use them, but at this point I think that I am in for a new set of all 4 speakers.
Please help!
Thanks!
