need suggestions on speakers

need suggestions on speakers

i wanna get new speakers, but i wanna get the best quality sound. what speakers do u recomend brand and model without adding any extras and also, would 2 10's be better than say one 12 or 15 cuz i dont want a bass overpowering system.
thanx,

A good set of 6x9's in the rear will give you good bass without overpowering the rest of the system.

if i replace all 4 speakers and run them through an amp, will i really need a sub, i listen to techno a lot, and i hate it when u have to much bass, cuz it messes up the car for 1 cuz of the rattles and u cant realy enjoy it....
thanx

Run a descent amp to the new speakers and you will be fine. Just remember for clean sound at low volumes, you want higher powered amps. Not like 1000W but more than 30W. just be sure you have the levels adjusted right so you dont get distortion when it goes up higher.

I was told back in the old days (5 years ago) when ppl installed larger systems that they would tune the amps with classical music. It gave the most diverse sound range and allowed for the best tuning of ALL components. The anything else would sound fine.

so let me get this straight.....

run an amp to my speakers that is more than 30Watts, (I was thinking 300 watts max power :wink: ) and then tune it with classical music like motzart or something.
also how would i go about tuning it, i dont have much experience installing and tuning audio systems, cuz i had bestbuy install it on my old car. thanx for the help stinky

i was just askin bout tuning, cuz at home we are running the Bose Accoustimass 15 system on a 150X6 dolby 6.1 reciver with a 6 ohms max output and it sound just awesome. even with the bass turned up all the way on the 3ft long sub, the sound actually has a hum to it that my car or my boi's car doesnt give. he has a full audio system. thanx again

I'll go with Infinity.............for the speakers.........plus 1 x12inch sub.......also infinity.

I have it right now not installed yet........

reference series .......but if you really want to spend more money. go for the kappa series. and one infinity perfect sub.........

excellent sound quality.

what about pioneer, a lot of ppl have been recomending those to me for speakers and kicker subs

When you look at the specs, then Pioneer looks better than Infinity.
But when you actually hear them, then Infinity sounds better than Pioneer.
The best way is to go to the local store and let them test run different speakers.
People with different taste favor different speakers.

My favorites are:
Infinity or MB Quarts for high.
Kicker or MTX for mid.
JL or MTX for low.

well i mostly listsen to techno and want something that gives me crisp sound. the stock speakers aren't exactly the best. also, i wanted to get Bose, theirs stuff is bad ass, but they dont make car speakers u have to listen to my setup at home for our home theater system, u cant get better sound, the speakers alone cost 1500 bux. also going to a store, isnt quite accurate, cuz they place them at different levels and u cant really get an accurate measure of sound quality

Also does anyone have XM Radio, i am seriously considering it, cuz we dont have any dance music stations here in detroit

Hey, techno is my favorite too. My favorite CD is the sound track of Initial D. That's because I like techno and I like Initial D too.

It's true that you don't get the accurate measure of the sound quality from the local stores, but you can at least get the idea of the different speakers' personalities.

I like Infinity and MB Quarts tweeters because they really handle the crisp sound of the techno. When I hear like pioneer and alpine, I don't hear good crisp highs.

I like MTX subs because they somehow match the techno bass. JL is because of the good impact it can give.

There is no way to compare home audio system with car audio. They are just at different level due to the spacial restriction.
