speakers come in the 2ss with the rs package? i thought the brochure said 9, i'm just curious b/c this along with exhuast will probably be one of the first upgrades.

BumbleDs · 10-06-2009, 01:55 AM

it is 9, however in the rear is counted 4 not 2, because of the inner tweeters, when I counted I was confused as well, and a little down. Its a fine system-if you like the sound of the motor!

You do realize that you can't just swap the head unit, right?

CamaroSkooter · 10-06-2009, 11:32 AM

Dash Center Speaker - one 3-1/2" (3" depth)
Door Speakers - each door - one 6-1/2" (3" depth)
Door Tweeters - each door - one 1" (1" depth)
Rear Deck - two 6" x 9" (depth unlimited - directly into trunk space)

The 6" x 9" are two-way speakers, and GM counts those as four individual speakers.

So, 4 in the back, 4 in each door, and the center channel. There's 9 according to GM. There's 7 according to most people. And you could technically consider the door 6-1/2" speakers and 1" tweeters as component speakers, so some would even say it only has five speakers.

I will probably, at some point, decide to upgrade everything to Infinity Kappa's, but figuring out how many amps I will need is the most difficult part. I dislike the idea of giving the center channel it's own dedicated amp, but that's what I may have to do. We'll see.

RS has nothing to do with speakers.

At the moment, either a hell of a lot of work or a pretty decent amount of money. Probably a warranty void too.

why would the warrenty be voided by installing an aftermarket radio

RCLapCar · 10-09-2009, 12:47 AM

Because this car is not designed to accept an aftermarket radio. The standard radio contains alot of the electronics that control other parts of the car.

sspaul · 10-09-2009, 12:07 PM

oh ok

UCF w00t · 10-09-2009, 01:45 PM

This thread will give you an idea. Basically you have to keep the stock radio (relocateed) in the car and add the other head unit. You'll have to mold a face plate for it since noone really makes one (yet). Not easy at all.

They better be GOOD and be prepared to spend lots of $$$$ as it's very work intensive.
