240 Speakers, one mo' time 200

here is another view for you.

I have had very good luck with Pioneer. Their decks are very well put together in my opinion. I have a 4 year old Premier deck (1 year prior to MOSFET powered Pioneer decks) and it drives my 4" Alpine front speakers and 6x9" Pioneers really well. Good bass from those 6x9s.

The Pioneer deck would work even better for you since you dont want amps and the higher MOSFET power would benefit the Boston Acoustics speakers rather well.

A buddy of mine has mounted 6x9s in the rear doors of his 245. They are in the lower front portion of the door. Personally I would probably buy some decent 6x9s and put them in some kind of a box that points forward between the seat/seatbelt upper attachment. At least this was the initial plan with the 84.5 245Ti I used to drive.

If you have any major chains around there, they usually have good deals on decks. We got a Pioneer 6300 for $230 October of last year.

Total cost of my Stereo:
Pioneer Premier DEH-36 (4 years old): $170 (Car Toys $40 off, Pioneer $30 rebate)
Alpine 4" off ebay: $25 with shipping
Pioneer 6x9s: $80

it could probably benefit from a sub, but all that energy would be trapped in my trunk.

take care
hope this helps
