mrbrightside2009 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 want to upgrade my front and rear door speakers, i'm taking out my sub since i don't really blast the music too much and its taking up space, anyone recommend some good quality speakers that put out about 200 watts a pair? only looking to spend around 50 - 80 a pair.

andyb5 Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 ^ +1 I've been impressed with the Alpine SPS-600C's I've been running for the past 18 months. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11284_Alpine+SPS-600C.html They have pretty respectable low end for a 6.75" speaker, but not as good as the Polk's. Plus, they are a direct replacement for the stock speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyCarIsRed Posted July 15, 2010 Report Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm going to 3rd the polks. Running the 4" reverence components up front with the tweets in the sail panels. Polks are not bass heavy, they're for when you want to listen to the music. They also tend to be a bit power hungry (92db) but it's well worth it. I picked up a set of alpine 6.5" components for the rear doors (my son is spoiled , tweets mounted 1.5" behind and 3" down from lock pin), and they're just harsh in comparison (even though they're 8 years newer). Put the sub back in, get it crossed right, and turn it down. When you send full range to a 6" or smaller driver, they have to work overly hard to reproduce the low frequencies. The cone is too small. This not only leads to less output, but more distortion in the signal. Your HU amp then works harder too, and gets hotter, pulls more power... And leave the speaker "cups" in when you swap; they're part of the baffle system and you'll just be blowing air though holes without them. I tried it with and without them, the difference is mind blowing. They put a shitton of cash into the sound system development, and even tho the drivers are meh, the door baffles are damn good. You can fit a 6.5" in the rear cups. I don't send anything under 125hz to the doors, Crossovers are as close to the drivers as possible. 10" (sealed) gets 100hz and below, 12db slopes on both sides. Dash speakers have been removed and replaced with boost gauge + radar Damnit givin away all the secrets on this one :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Memphis are decent and a good speaker on a tight budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to starve the door speakers of lower Mhz and get better sound? I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try adjusting the EQ on your 901, it has a seperate set of adjustments for front and rear channels, which is a really nice feature. Alternatively, you can buy some bass blockers (effectively doing the same job as upgrading the capacitors on the stock tweeters) that filter out all frequencies below a set cutoff point: These 150hz bass blockers should work nicely for your Polk's and the stockers (get rid of 'em and get another set of Polk's ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicaljake Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 ive always been a fan of alpine... but im sure there are better things out there.... i would go with the type S unless you were willing to amp them... then i would def go with the type R's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega moose Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 definitely go with the type R's. thats what im running in my car and they sound great. you can pick up a pair on ebay for like $80 or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durry Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 i think you should go to a shop and listen different options and from there make a choice.... but if the shop is not an option.... ill go with the alpin type R maybe some X.... you would need to power them in order to have a tremendous sound :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagabond Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 My company also has an audio shop. For the money you can't beat Alpine Type S. I'd pick S over X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blazen244 Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Infinity Kappas are great and can be had for not much. I have in the front and back doors and the deck and running them with a Fosgate 5000.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fake-R Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I have Infinity's in the front, I forget the model, might have been reference? Polk DB's in the rear. The Infinity's are nicer sounding than the Polks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durry Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 from what i heard, speaker choice must be from personal taste.... i suggest you to visit a audio shop then try all the speakers that might like....then buy them from ebay :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
