Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / December 2003Newbie Speaker Questions
I'm upgrading my stereo in my daily driver, nothing fancy, just something decent. I've got a 40 watt Sony Explod CD player head. I'm trying to spend less than $50 for another pair of 6.5 inch 3-ways. (Good used ones okay.) I had been looking at Pioneers and Sonies, when I found some of these other brands, with as high a wattage rating, selling new what I was willing to spend on used. Sould I consider them, or as a rule are they junk? Legacy Profile Pyramid What about these? Audiobahn Cerwin Clarion Harman Kardon Infinity Polk Audio Pyle Rockford Fosgate -------- Jeff N.

Out of the list you compiled I have some Infinity's in my truck and love them. Depending on budget consider Image Dynamics. But there are so many choices you just have to listen. Les >>All Junk > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Les I reccomend infinitys as well. very clear and crisp speakers but known for a lack of low end. a good subwoofer will take care of that. look around on ebay for a set of used Kappa perfects. EFFENDI Hmmmmm, not a lack of low end, just not an exagerated 100hz boost. Rather, thay have a relatively flat response. > >>All Junk > > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > EFFENDI > Hmmmmm, not a lack of low end, just not an exagerated 100hz boost. > Rather, thay have a relatively flat response. [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] >> >>EFFENDI its all opinion, what the guy is asking for. read all the reviews and listen to all the systems. infinitys are weak in the low end. that is why they started making subs. lets not start an argument here. > Hmmmmm, not a lack of low end, just not an exagerated 100hz boost. > Rather, thay have a relatively flat response. By the way, The 6.5 inch Infinity speakers that I listened to where not the High end Kappa's but an older 2-way model. I have not found anyone in my area who carries the Kappa line. A good thing about ebay is that it give the consumer access to a much larger market. Peoples taste differ and so does there music. Suggest you take some of favorite CD's with you when you shop for new speakers and try them out. I don't know about the others but the one's I have listened to are: > Infinity Very nice, If you like well balanced sound. However "Weak" in the lows! Very expensive for the high end line. > Polk Audio 6-1/2 Momo's Very nice component speakers good lows and highs(approx $175) > Pyle Good lows only > Rockford Fosgate 6-1/2 3-way Solid all-around speaker, Very good lows and Highs. (approx $97 at best buy) > Sony X-series 6-1/2 3-way Good all-around speaker, Good lows and Highs, (approx $100) Amazingly dollar for dollar the Fosgates are the better buy for and all-around 3-way speaker, and to my ear they also sounded the best. Recommended if you like to play your music loud with good beat(lows). I you want to spend less money go with a less expensive Sony X-series 3-way about $40 at walmart. I am going to retract my statement about the Rockford speakers(There just to loud for my ears). Personally I prefer my music soft and balanced. I have yet to find a nicer sound then that that comes out of a Bose system. You're kidding, aren't you???? Please say yes.....
