Exclamation New Sound System!

i just got a new jensen VM 9312 monitor DVD all dat. I was wondering if anyone knew what size speakers there are in a 2005 cobalt sedan. Also, what subs and speakers should i buy. I was told pioneer speakers are good for vocals and Sony xplods are good for bass, but i'm not sure. I was going to go with either two 10s or two 10s and a 12. Not sure what to do, please help out and give me your opinions!! THANKS!!

Cool, appreciate the help. Any other ideas from anyone else is greatly appreciated!

For the door speakers, the higher the wattage the better or no... i'm about as elementary as it gets to this stuff. I found some with 560W or 160W.....THX i assume the 560s will hit harder.

Sony crap should match the Jensen crap.

Pioneer's premier line of subwoofers are real nice. Infinity is great. I had 4" kappas in an older vehicle. For speakers, look for a decent RMS rating around 40-60watts RMS handling power. If you go higher, then you won't hear much bass or it will be distorted. To reduce distortion, amplify your speakers.
