okay this is just a general question. like say i wanted to upgrade a standard system i know i would need an amp and newer speakers but would i have to replace the old speakers throughout the car? like im saying if i wanted to add like 3 14in subs in the trunk would i need to replace the one that come stock in the car even though they are infinity speakers so they are not generic. also how does all of the wiring work? where do i hide the speaker wires in the door panel or what? maybe you can give me some general knowledge im interested . by the way im good with technical **** like i can rewire a house electrical stuff like that im smart with stuff like that but ive always wondered if the same concept applies to cars
 
Ok here's the deal. You don't "need" to replace the speakers but if you want to go for it. The only time it would be absolutely necessary to replace the stock speakers would be if you were getting dual amps and were planning on amping the speakers as well as the subwoofer. Stock speaks aren't made for that and they would blow out. But like you said they aren't exactly stock so you should have no need to bother replacing. If you're just planning on sticking a subwoofer in the back (btw 3 14's is absolute overkill, go for 2 12's in a double box, trust me it'll be just fine. I have 1 12 inch MTX in my car and everyone that hears it thinks I have two). Now if you do decide to replace the speakers, you may want to get new wiring which I'm sure you're going to. All you have to do is follow the path of the old wires. Find out how they were wired initially and copy that. You don't need to do anything special. Now about the subwoofer and amp, you need to run the wires for those under your back seat, inside the back panel, underneath the plastic floor panel thats right by your door, up, through the firewall, and to your battery. It's pretty simple really.
