    Default VX sound set-up

    Here is what I have

    Head unit
    DEHP5150UB - not yet installed

    6.5" 3way - front
    6.5" 2way - spare
    6x9" - not yet installed

    Amp - on the way!

    Woofer - ???

    Questions
    1. Do I need a wiring harness to install the head unit???
    2. Should I wait for an amp before I install the 6x9?
    3. Do I go for 6 speakers or 4 + woofer
    4. Do I just go to an Audio Store (in Adelaide) to get all my speakers installed and where can I find one that will do it cheap? Round about price?

    1. If you want to install it yourself and youre not too good with making solid, insulated electrical connections then yes, i would recommend a harness adapter.
    2. Read below.
    3. Just go with 4 speakers and a sub.
    4. Remember, you get what you paid for. Yes you could go and "get it done for cheap" or you could spend the extra cash and get it done PROPERLY. There is a big difference, which will result in better sound. Another option is doing it yourself. If you feel confident enough to install the head-unit (using the adapter) then im sure you'll be able to install the speakers.

    Sell your 6x9s and the 3 ways, buy yourself a set of components (splits) for the front. Get a 4ch. amp and power the front splits and the sub from it. Simple yet effective sound, use the 2 ways as rear speakers. Sub / box is up to you and how much you want to spend.

    Sell your coaxil Speakers and get front splits and a woofer.
    You can use one 4 channel amp to run everything or use a mono block for the sub and a seperate amp for the splits (2 Channel).
