Well I think the 6x9's(?) that are behind me are going out, and the 6.5's(?) in the door are going out. Anyone have any suggestions on decent speakers that are priced right. Meaning not too expensive, im just looking for something better than stock, not top of the line.
hey man i had infinity Kappas in my doors, they run around $100 a set i think and that was a while back so probably cheaper now and they were badass i just helped a buddy put some in his truck and again i was impressed damn good speakers for the money bro.
alpine best bang for the buck, make sure you get compents if running subs and amp..
I always had great experience with Infinity as well.
Yeah ive just got a single 12" kicker comp powered by a kenwood amp. Its not really that good of a setup, but its cheap, and it hitsQuote:

I've had a pair of DLS R6A's for 2 years and I am very satisfied with them. Don't know where you can get them anymore. Probably Ebay
I'm partial to kicker speakers. I have never heard anything better than kicker speakers ran by a kicker amp. Lots of people have me listen to their twice as expensive systems as mine and I'm not impressed. I'm gonna stick with kicker.
I love the QSD-216 MB Quarts, these are by far the best I've heard. CDT ES620Z's are awsome..............Focal, Helix, Morel, Dynaudio and Diamond Audio all pretty awsome if you stay towards their competition line.

I've heard or had these and I want to go with either mb quart or focals high end series. When im done with performance parts if thats possible.
i would get a 6" round before i went with a 6x9
for some reason i thought the rear speakers in these trucks where 4x6.
They are 4X6....................I'd recommend the MBQuart 4" or 5" components and make your own plate to fit behind the panel if possible. I might do this myself because I know the 4" will fit.

Boston also makes a damn good replacement for the 4x6, its a plate 4 inch component set "746" is the model number. There are plenty other plate setups similar to them on the market but this by far the best sounding one I have heard.
Yeah ok maybe i got alittle carried away, can ya tell car audio has been an occupation/hobby for the past 15 years :(
i have soundstream in the doors and kicker ks 4x6's in the rear....i really like the kickers, they are like $50 bucks and they just scream!!
mb quart is amazing...if you want to spend a little more though
i got 4 phoenix gold 6.5's and 12 tweets scattered all over the crew cab, 3 on the dash, 3 on the back glass, 1 on both the pillars inbetween the front and back doors, and 1 in each door, powered by a kicker 4 channel 400w amp, 2 shallow memphis 10's in a sealed box underneath the backseat, and one probox 10 in a ported probox behind the backseat, powered by a kicker zx750.1 lol its pretttttty loud..
Overkill with no staging. I bet it blends like me Tyler at a straight guy convention.Quote:

diamond d6 with the crossovers ftmfw
this thread is full of people simply telling you to get whatever they are running in their trucks...
Some more info is needed:
Whats your budget?
Do you plan to amp the speakers? if so, how much power?
+1
what is your budget.
I mean seriously if you haft to go CHEAP sony xplode will do fine if you put a GOOD amp behind them.
MY personal thoughts is my truck and a friends truck run memphis. I advise the same

its hard to give a recomendation without knowing what he likes and can afford
well they are getting progressively worse. I just need something that sounds good and will sound better when I run a single 12" sub (something along the lines of a kicker comp) off a 2 channel amp. Nothing spectacularQuote:

the RSD's have great low end response for the price. You might notice some light dryness in the tweeters but for 70 bucks i dont think you can find a better setQuote:
