front 6" component speaker wat to buy ???

[dansanhdieu]

Now that i done all the installation of a new pioneer dvd units in my car . connect my old stuff from previous car Cadence Mono Block amp and a 12" Sony Subwoofer . Music sound better than stock HU but i want more .

Done some reading and people recommend to invest only in front speaker and leave rear speaker to OEM stock .

I having a look at those few speaker as my budget is $300 or under all price quote from www.ryda.com.au pioneer stock discount deal from a friend . JBL is good brand but i never had one install in car before , i got Pioneer TS-C1602 2 years ago in my old car and it make me happy

Pioneer TS-D1720C : $260 ( ryda $310 )
Pioneer TS-A1702C : $200
Boston SX60 6" : $277
JBL P6500 6" : $330

The question is what brand of the stock speaker Euro 04 using and if i upgrade to one of those speaker above will i notice much diff in sound quality or you need to buy those high end at $600-900 to hear the diff ? Should i connect straight to headunit or invest another $200-$300 for another AMP to power up new component speaker . I normally listen to rnb , pop music and mostly radio 96.1

I have the Dynaudio 214 installed. Loved them they retail about $1000, and yes the front speakers will do.

if you don't want to run an amp for the splits (like me), try the Alpine DDLinear. they are designed to run off headunit alone and they sound better than a Type R without amp. by better i mean they're more efficient, higher db given the same volume and sound more dynamic. they should be within your budget.

but for better sound quality, running off an amp would usually be better. the Type R i compared with sound cleaner running off an amp. and some Pioneer mid range split i heard sounds very sweet running off an amp.

do you mean that if you have a sub theres no point changing the speakers at the back? or just in general? cause iam looking to get some good splits for my euro and a 2 chan amp but was wondering if i should get a 4 chan and some 6x9s instead of the 2 chan.. (not running a sub)

$1000 is way over my budget .

Might try to see how much they selling the Alpine DDLinear for

If you don't have a sub you should put money into front and rear speaker ( in this case rear speaker will be your main for bass sound with tuning via LPF ) and yes you should buy a 4 channel amp to power front and rear with buy the one with both HPF and LPF

I am on a limit budget and already have a sub that why i want to invest more in front splits . base on my reading on other audio forum rear speaker only for people at the back as i always "fade" my sound more to front . Overall if you have more money to spend good rear speaker with 4 channel amp will make the whole system better .

In my case i'm still considering buying a slits without amp or i should save more money and buy both splits and amp together , like Lee said split running off amp sound alot better .

[Philip Lee]

my recommendation is buy the best you can afford and do things in stages.

if you will be saving up for another amp, maybe just save up for both and do them together. this should save some installation cost.

however if you can DIY installation, you can also buy a good splits now and get amp later. any after market splits will sh!t all over stock speakers.

i normally don't care about the rear speakers. they're really only for the people at the back and who cares about them lol. your sound should be coming from the front so always invest your $$ on the front speakers.

however if you are installing a surround video system, only then should you invest $$ for the back speaker.

If you don't have a sub you should put money into front and rear speaker ( in this case rear speaker will be your main for bass sound with tuning via LPF ) and yes you should buy a 4 channel amp to power front and rear with buy the one with both HPF and LPF

this only apply if you can fit some decent 6x9. if you are putting speakers on the rear door, you won't get much more bass over what you get from the front.

can anyone tell me for a Euro 2005 luxury,

1) which company made the speakers?
2) confirm that the car doesn't come with amps?

thanks

Leave the rears stock. They're really only for fill. You sit at the front, so spend the money where it matters. It should be fine running off the headunit but would obviously be better running off an amp giving more power.

hey, i am currently running pioneer splits in the front cost me $350, and i previously had Clarion coaxs and the stock tweeter, both running to Clarion 4 chan. the upgrade was incredible i am still only using a stock head unit, but the sound qaulity is noticeable and i was really impressed with clarity i was getting with the new tweeters and split setup, i moved the coaxs to the back doors, and i have clarion 6X9's on the rear shelf, i just bought a pioneer class D mono 600Wrms, running my two clarion 12s in the boot.

Overall im pretty happy but keen to get a Single DIN popout in the bottom console infront of the gear nob, long shory stort, i did mine in stages, some DIY'd and some installed pro, all the wiring is pro, and the new amp and swapping speakers was DIY. of course its cheaper doing it in one hit, but i found it better to do in stages, money wise and finding the best setup i liked and i wanted more power for subs of course

In summary of my story, i think Splits is a defs, and have a real good listen to the speakers before you buy. price shouldnt play a majorr factor..... and amp is a must, it allows for clearer sound and tuning for bass. and x-over

I recommend some Diamond D363 Component speakers up front along with some sound deadening.

Whatever speakers you go for Dynamat the front doors.It does make a difference.
