hey, im wondering how many speakers(and where they are located) are stock in my 02 insight? i cant tell if the ones in the car are aftermarket or not

a new stereo will b my 1st investment...the one in there is terrible compared to my last car's(sony xplod 4x50 head, 4x120 watt 4-way speakers, and 2x600 watt kenwood amps and 2x600 watt punch 12" subs)

haha, thanks in advance

Hi ikhoudvanu199 and welcome to the forums :!:

Nice to have a new enthusiastic Insight owner in our midst :!:

There's already a lot of information in the Modifications & Techincal issues forum on the upgrade stereo / speaker issues. Please spend a bit of time reviewing the first few pages there for all the recent related information.

And there are the basics on the Owners, Knowledge Base and Encyclopedia pages. Links on the top right of every page :!:

HTH!

If you are not comfortable with messing with the stereo wires and battery, you could get the blaupunkt plug and play amp. Its an efficient amplifier that will plug directly to the stock head unit for more power. Easy remedy. You will want to upgrade the speakers as well.
Mine should be here tomorrow.

Blaupunkt THA475PnP 75W x 4 car amplifier at Crutchfield.com

00-03 came from factory with 2 front cone speakers. (6 1/2") 04 and later came with I believe a CD changer and front and rear (6 1/2") speakers. I installed the rear speakers on my 02, very easy to do.....

One in each door. Optional rear speakers behind the seats.

Speakers are a worthwhile upgrade. I just replaced my front speakers with Polk Audio db651s. Pretty much a drop in replacement. No cutting required. I documented the install here:

I put a good set of front Component speakers and moved the front speakers into the back. I left the carpet there, but cut out the foam so the speaker could "move" underneath the carpet. This gave a bit of bass to the rear of the car for nill extra cash.

I put Infinity Kappa 2-ways (6 1/2) in all 4 locations. Sounds great. The addition of sound deadener (Raamat) helped a lot as well.
