5 inch car speakers

I want to use those little bass blocker capacitors on my Infinity Kappa 6.5 inch car speakers. The base is muddying up my mids. I will eventually add a sub to fill in what is missing. What frequency do you recommend I cut the bass off at?

A set of these.

TOP 10 Car Speaker Systems - Dont Buy Before You Watch this List 1. Alpine Type-R SPR-17S - Car speaker system - 110 Watt - 2-way - component - 6 ...

If I get these speakers for my car, do I need an amp?
I'm running a Sony CDX-GT320 at 52W x 4 as the head unit.

If I don't need one, do you think these will sound good and give some punch with the bass with only 52W max per speaker?
I'd be mounting these into the rear deck of my Corolla.

No, the head unit does not put enough watts RMS to adequately power these speakers for good bass.

The speakers are 75 watts RMS and the head unit is 52. That means that you will only have 60% of the power those speakers need to drive them and they need it to make bass.

If you do not want/ can't afford a sub, you need to give those speakers all the power you can to get them to make bass. + Dynamat really helps (I have it in all my doors)

Think of your amp and speakers like an engine in a car. If you don't have very much power, you can still drive around but it will be slow and ponderous (like my dad's old Saturn)
But if you have a hemi, well hot dang that thing is gonna go like stink.

I actually overpower my 75watt RMS Polk Audio db 6.5" by 25% from a JL Audio 300/4 amp I bought for $150 off of ebay (still works great 2 years later) and they have enough bass that I don't really need a sub right now.

However, if you do choose to overpower your speakers, don't turn it up all the way (both the gain on the amp and your head unit) and tune the amp to cutout the lowest bass (from say 100Hz and lower)

These two things will help you get the most bass from your system as you possibly can, while prolonging the life of your system.

I seriously need help with this.

I bought 6.5 inch car speakers for my car doors. I don't know if I bought the right size, because after putting them on... the previous car owner of the car messed up the car door panels and I can't figure out where the screws go or whatnot.

Another problem is, I got the speakers on but they're not screwed in right because I can't see any holes and then the speakers start to fall off and I have to rewire them again.

Another problem is, I placed the grills over the speakers... and once you shut the door... BAM. The dashboard of the car hits against the speakers.

I don't know how to take the door panels off because of that ridiculous window handle that opens and closes the windows... seriously... how the heck do you take that off?

I don't know getting 6.5 inch car speakers was a good idea... knowing that crutchfield.com said my car take 4 inch speakers. Darn Circuit City and Best Buy states that the speakers I bought will fit my ride.

Frustrated.
Forgot to mention... I would get a professional to get it mounted on the Tercel... but I need some advice before dealing with someone that I'm going to pay more than $40.

To take the window crank off take an old rag and slide it back and forth between the crank and the door panel while pulling it up at the sametime this will push the clip that is holding the crand in place.Start on the under side of the handle that way the clip doesnt fly uff across the street and take it slow if not you will lose the clip as well
