Need advice on quality speaker system minus sub

**tRung** · 09-11-2008 12:51 PM

Hi Guys,
I need some help on what speakers to purchase that will provide me great bass and quality when I turn them up. I've decided not to op for a sub in the boot..
Currently looking for splits, front & rear speakers plus amp.
My budget is 2k.

Thanks in advance.

lol, can you provide more insight on what speakers/amp that your suggesting. exp. product link?

mb quarts splits for fronts (model number i using is dse216 and its clear as), for rears maybe 6x9 components. I know mb quarts make them but not sure on how good they are. should be able to get both sets of speakers for around 500

what 6x9 you guys suggest that will provide enough bass nearly equal to a sub in the boot?

thanks gach2, ill go & check those splits out.

with a 2k budget you can afford their reference & premium range. look into those too.

no 6x9s are gonna match the efficiency of a sub. maybe have em in an enclosure if you plan to go for em.

grab some SD'ing too

if your not opting for a sub, look into the digital designs component 6 x 9's.... they have the same magnet and motor structure of one of their 10" woofers, and from all accounts damn near play like one too

MB Quart Reference 6.5" Splits and 6*9's for the rear or equivilant (just my recommendation). The only real way your going to get bass without a sub is by Amping 6*9's which use the boot as an "enclosure". Honda's (excluding newer cars and euro's) are quite poorly designed when it comes to Audio and ICE (In Car Entertainment).

If they are designed to produce that low a sound frequency so predominantly I couldn't imagine their high/mid range would perform very well.

Because i drive a type r, i want the car light as possible hence the reason why im not opting for a sub. I'm going to check out the MB Quart next week and see what my options are.

There are many speakers out there that will do the job good. What area's you should be concentrating on are Amplification, Equalization and Sound Deadening.

No matter how great the speakers you buy are, if you don't get these 3 right, you'll have a average result.

If you concentrated on these 3 things and used a cheaper set of speakers, your result would be better then spending big bucks on top brand speakers.

Amps - 4 x 100W RMS minimum $350+
Eq - Mid - High End Deck (eg Pioneer, Alpine and Kenwood would do) $400+
Sound Deadening - $200+

These 3 should take up $1K Easy.

Then with the remaining budget buy the best you can.

Hope this helps.

I have done the same thing with the Misses Civic 2001 Ep hatch. No sub but I have a lot of bass. No 6x9s Either. You should come check it out one time for a demo.
