I just bought a second hand car. it has a good head unit, but only one crappy speaker on the right side.
I want to have a decent sound (preferably 4 speakers) but don't want to spend more than $200
I'm assuming amp & sub is out of the question.
Can I get a good speaker sound setup for around/under $200! (already got head unit) Would a simple 4 speaker system suffice! and what are the cheapies like (warehouse brands etc) or do I really need an amp & sub get a quality sound!
cheers

buy 2 sets of Sony component speakers. it's as good a Bass you'll get without forking out for a Sub & Amp.

Home stereo speakers work well

Yup, some off a crap mini system up on the parcel shelf. Dont get a matching pair as that will ruin it.
Also dont worry that they will smack you in the back of the head if you stop quickly, thats just a minor thing.
In general, a half decent set of components cost about $160 not leaving much for rear speakers. I would get a good pair of the largest speakers that will fit in the front (5"/5.5"/6") and a good pair of 6x9's for the rear. I would also leave about $30ish spare for some large speaker cable from Jaycar as the standard OEM speaker wiring in most cars is absolute rubbish.

I have told a mate to fit 6" 3ways in the front & 6" 2ways inthe rear of his car.Sounds good & was cheap.
He got the speakers from supercheap auto.
If you can get some components they will give a much nicer sound,have those in the front & use a pair 6x9s in the rear. No need to amp them.
Personally i have a pair of 4" in the front of my car & 6x9s in the rear. Thats ALL my car can fit.

Not too bad. 4 way is impressive, but paper cones for mid-range! Hmmm. Also 102mm deep is quite a lot. I hope the OP has plenty of room free to fit those.

Thats common with 6x9s.
Also they are best suited for rear parcel trays with spacers etc.

My car has 4" in the bottom of the dash, I may be able to squeeze 5" in there but my plan is to make a custom enclosure for a 6" speaker in the bottom of the doors. It'll mean reshaping the door pockets and might require some parts from a wrecker but the final result will be worth it. I want it to look as OEM as possible.

6" front speakers or whatever fits, and two 6 x 9z, kenwood, sony, pioneer etc. Then a lil later on can add a sub n amp, quite a bit of 12" pioneers going cheap on here, cheap but good set up.
