Default detailed stereo installation?

I got my neon with the nice alpine in it, but i am not liking it at all, and want to switch to my Eclipse deck i have (has tilt ) and would like to know all the details for the car.


I am hoping whoever installed the alpine did a good job so i am not stuck in a mess when i do mine!

I have done the stereo on my old corolla 3 times, so i am not a begginer, and was wondering the following wire diagram is correct.

I am also going to lay down the wiring for the remote and RCA cords so whenever i put subs in i wont have to take apart the dash, and just worry about the power wires.

Also, anyone have any recommended upgraded speakers?
There are 2 tweeters in the front, to mid range (4.5-6") in the doors and 2 6x9" all range in the rear?

Im thinking of getting 1 10" alpine type E in the trunk for that extra bass

nothing wrong with me.... its an older alpine deck with CD/FM with ipod cable (which i dont have) - nor am i a fan of, i like the auxiliary hook ups much better.

the alpine deck doesnt make the stock speakers better, and the other deck i have has a lot more functions to fine tune them to optimize their use with a sub. plus the new deck does not sit so low, and feel low because the screen tilts up so its not like im reaching too far down to get to the stereo.

but thank you, and if your not going to be of any help please stop posting, period.

AND alpine isnt the best...i have had problems with alpine and kenwood...and eclipse is actually a pretty good deck.. my cousin had an eclipse till his system was stolen..and his whole setup hit better then mine did(not saying his deck made the diff) but it deff. had alot of options..up front i was able to fit 3.5" kickers...a little bit of filing and so on...i have 6 3/4"s infiniti kappa series in the door and 2 6x9's rockford in the back.. with a 15" kicker CVX(same as L7 but round) and it sounds pretty good.

thanks, i love my eclipse, and one more question, is do you have 1 amp for the sub, and another not as high powered for the 6X9's? or what kind of amp do you have?

thanks again!
