This may be a silly question, but what is the difference between speakers and component speakers?
Also, what are the things to look for in front speakers and amps? Is it the Watts?
I've took out my speakers for fun and it doesn't seem hard to DIY (take out speaker and plug in a new one?), I think the main challenge is to tune the amp and knowing which wires goes where.
Choosing the system seems like the hardest task!!

Fronts - Polk - they love r&b
Amp - jay car , Coustic or something with decent power to power the polks
Backs - look at Polk again
Front polk splits on eBay like $190 shipped
Headunit I like pioneer

Components have a tweeter that separates the highs
What to look for... Yeah I guess rms and db sensitivity .

It is currently $130 shipped. I like the price value, do you have any more recommendations? I like to keep my options open!
Seems like we have similar taste in music so it might mean that we prefer similar sounds!

Nah I like the polks
I've used them twice in two different cars

IMO id get alpine Type-G splits, they offer great all round splits and its not to pricey
Installed em into my bros Euro an they are fantastic, good low to high range frequency and bass is crisp.
-
Yeah I don't know about alpine
Used the type r's and didn't like them for the price
Way over priced

Do you have some sort of tutorial when you installed your front speakers?
and/or do you know any good speakers that have shallow 5.25 inch or 6 inch as the plastic basket?
I have to check again with my car in the morning, but I don't notice anything different when i opened it today with the trim cut (second picture)

I had a amp that could power most speakers you could buy
They were well powered
And the install, well... That was good. I did it myself so I would know
I've done enough installs to know what I'm doing and I spend hours just tuning my system
So no, alpines are not the best speaker for the price you pay
Polk are half the price for the same power rated ones and blow them away

I dont have a diy for that sorry, its pretty straight forward, roughy cut out the basket then you mount the spacer by countersinking 3 screws into the mdf using the 3 factory screw locations after that you line up the door panel too see how much you cut off the spacer and door panel to fit over.
I dont remember how deep the factory panel allows for without modification so you would have to take out the speaker and measure the depth.
If you didnt notice anything different the basket may of been cut out by the previous owner, this is what im talking about
that restricts the depth and width of the speaker, its alot easier to leave it inplace and just mount the new speaker to the door panel but you get better sound using a bigger driver so the extra time and effort to cut the panel is worth it imo.

Were they deadened, mounted to the door skin and service holes sealed? Woofer/tweeter on axis or off?
Thats your opinion, Ive been less than satisfied with the entry range polks ive heard. Regardless i still prefer morels over both and focals over morels.
