Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors, radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront). Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront). Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer products.

Sales People (be careful!)::
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords, questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple.. the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person) with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.

No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever! They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake! Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with the newest products.

This is an autotoys.com installation.

We are changing the speakers in a 1986 Buick. Most GM vehicles uses a 4x6 front and rear 6x9 combination. We featured this article to show you how big a difference factory oem (especially pre 1995 GM vehicles) compare to aftermarket speakers.

In this article, we did not use the most expensive speakers. The combination we used cost the customer under $150.00 including installation.

Speakers used in this installation:

Pioneer TSA 4612 2 way coaxial 4x6 speakers
See our SPEAKER department under 4x6 or search under 4612 if the model is still current.

Pioneer TSA 6986 speaker 4 way
See our speaker department. This is a VERY hot sounding speaker

These products are available now for sale at highly discounted prices! See our speaker department by clicking shop now or visiting http://store.autotoys.com - Buy from real installers!

This is a shot of the factory speaker (right) which uses a single paper cone woofer compared to a pair of Pioneer 4612 2 way speaker coaxials. How much of an improvement do you think this is just be looking at the speakers side by side.

This is the back shot. Delco vs Pioneer. (hmm)

closeup shot

This is a closeup shot of the Pioneer 6985 compared to the factory Delco speakers. BIG DIFFERENCE?!
We think so.

Installation time: about 15 minutes. We simply bolted the Pioneer 4x6 speakers into the front dash location using the factory 7mm screws. In the back, there was enough room to simply bolt the speaker into place. Thats it. Improvement in sound? About 10x what the original speakers were at. The factory front Delco speakers were at 10 ohms for some odd reason also. The vehicle we had installed these speakers in had a aftermarket Kenwood radio, so the new Kenwood speakers with a normal ohm load also played louder.

What are you waiting for?! Buy from autotoys.com! Its available now! See our speaker department.
