I would post in Speakers forum but it gets no love...

Just curious what people have gotten to replace the front speakers. I am leaving the stereo as is, but want to upgrade the front speakers only. Looking at JBL, Infinity, etc... and plan on spending only $150

Thanks for any feedback!

 

if you're ever in the bay area, you can audition my diamond audio speakers and hear for yourself!

edit: actually, if you're just swapping out speakers, you're looking at something more power efficient.

 

Nice..which ones do u have? I've heard good things about them, but never heard any.

I have Polk Audio Momo components in mine. They're ok, but not the greatest.

If I had the money, I'd get CDT eurosport components....mmm...

 

i have focal polyglass components. nice, but too deep. when spaced out to clear the window, they hit the grill. in all honesty, if you can get a good set of tweeters and crossovers you can use the stock front drivers with surprising results.

 

wow focal....mmmm focal... wish i had that. i have infinity kappa components in mine... okay for the price. i might try fusion jonah lomu components though.

 

i've got infinity kappa perfects, the only thing holding them back is the thin doors that dont like the bass, even with dynamat.

 

yep. my sound system was pretty sweet, till i blew up my Alpine deck (damn cupholder). the only things aftermarket still in the car are the speakers.

 

I'm running JBL's right now. I am wanting to get some new ones, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

 

two-way infinity's for all four door speakers and stock tweeters.

 

Focal 165 Series 6-1/2" in the front for my STi.

 

waiting to install a set of 10 year old MB quart 218's ...

 

Rainbow 61/2 but you NEED an amp!! And put some speakers on your rear deck better sound staging

 

but make sure you don't cut holes and just leave them laying there. now that's hot.

 

wish i could put some Focal Utopias in (had some but didn't want to spend the money on making them fit, i kno...u had the money to get utopias and didn't put em in...got em used from a buddy for 275 so i could not pass em up) so i settled for some infinty componenets and they kick ***...

my set up is
Alpine CDA-7897 phantom face
Alpine mono amp for sub (350 rms)
alpine four channel for components
Alpine 12 in Type R..(loud but clear)
Infinety components

 

Focal Access 165a in the front and the Focal Access 165 ca in the rear. The Poly Glass 165cv shallow mounts will fit perfect in the fronts the regular 165 poly glass will fit but it's a close fit and the cones/surrounds will make some contact with the door panel, unless you trim that plastic ring away. I trimmed mine in order to fit the 165a access. Another speaker that will fit with no problems would be the Kenwood Excelon kfc-xr61p component set. Those things are ultra light weight and very shallow. Neodymium magnets for both the driver and tweeter. Good x-over. They are a bit weak in the bass, but if you have a woofer, that shouldn't be a worry. Very bright tweeter and easy install. I sell alot of those from my shop. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at my work. Cartunes 707-546-8585...
