December 24th, 2008 06:27 PM #13I just read this thread. I also want to change only the speakers and not the HU or its orig wirings and dont want to install amplifiers. My questions are:
1. What is the present RMS sa stock speakers?
2. Do I get it right that the RMS of the new speakers should start at 2 RMS and not 4 RMS or higher?
3. What brand do you recommend? I saw a JBL brand at CFG Cebu, the price is around 2k, is that ok na?
4. What are separates?
5. I also saw products consisting of two speakers with two tweeters and a small box connected to them. When I will install this kind, where will this small box be placed? Hopefully not in any visble place inside the car.
6. For the rear speakers, I want to install 6 x 9 speakers. In my Innova, the rear speakers are rounded ones. Can I still have the 6 x 9 speakers?
7. How much should I expect to budget for these?
Thanks in advance and merry christmas...

1.the innova's stock speakers (same as most stock speakers) are rated at 20-25 watts
2 &3. dont know the answers to these hehehe
4. separates are speakers wherein the tweeter is "separate" from the mid range/midbass (like in your home hifi speakers), most stock speakers have the tweeter connected to the midrange/mibass and are called coaxials.
5. the speakers you saw are called separates, separates are usually ideal for better sound quality, the tweeters are mounted on the pillars or at both ends of the dashboard and the midrange/midbass on the stock factory locations at both front doors. the box is called a crossover, crossovers are essential for separates as it "separates" the higher frequencies and feeds them to the tweeter and the lower frequencies to the midrange/midbass. crossovers are usually mounted behind the glove box or inside the doors if space permits.
6. Innova's come with 6.5 inch round speakers for both the front and rear doors so installing a 6x9 in the rear doors would entail a customizing job, and the size of the magnet of the 6x9 speaker probably wont fit the cramp space behind the doors. most people who sets up their cars usually leave the rear speakers alone.
7. good sounding separates can range from 1.5k (entry levels) to sky's the limit. but for around 3k or so you can have a decent sounding seps

December 26th, 2008 07:36 AM #15Thanks your reply is very informative to me a newbie. What speaker brands sized 6.5 do you recommend? Regarding the separates, is there a need for rewiring? As much as possible I want to retain the original wires to avoid any complications on warranty.

i would suggest you replace the innova stock HU first, the stock Hu sounds pretty crappy in my opinion. try this route first before replacing your stock speakers, i retained my stock speakers in my innova and just replaced the hu with a 2 din touchscreen, the sound improved a bit. if you still want to replace the speakers, an amp is almost a necessity since the factory head unit cannot power an aftermarket speaker properly.and any sound improvement will be pretty minimal (relative to the cost).

March 25th, 2009 11:31 AM #17Hi there! My stock HU says it can handle 50Wx4 Max power and 22Wx4 RMS. Does that mean that I can only get up to 2-25W RMS speakers to maximize my HU?
I just want to replace the stock speakers and get better SQ but avoid spending on speakers that my HU can't really drive.
