suggestions for aftermarket speakers?

[eflb55]

I have alot of bass with my 2 12in subs and I was wondering what I would replace my speakers with. With that amount of bass what should I look for in a speaker. I would assume I would want a speaker that produces good treb and less bass so I could equal out the bass and treb. And should I replace that rear and front speakers? Also, I guess I need another amp for these so any suggestions on that would help too.

Thanks

Well, I suggest 3-way speakers, maybe a passive or active crossover or an equalizer, also try to lower the gain for your amplifier or the output volume. What amp do u have?

currently i have a 1200 watt powerakustic amp for the 2 subs which is well over what i need. as far as a quality to budget ratio, well, i dont want or have need for $600 based on speakers alone. I'm looking at spending 250 on the speakers w/amp. I hope this will buy me more than a mcdonalds happy meal toy speakers but from the looks of bigsky2's comments i might be wrong.

you have a ton of options...

amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_2677.html

and bam, 250 bucks shipped


i am also from the school of thought that you really do not need rear speakers, and would focus on the front stage first, and if after that you really want rears, you can add them in later

but shop around, there is alot that you can get for $250, but at first glance, that is what i would get, if i needed to but a 250$ front stage right now :) but dont forget you are also going to need wires for your new amp, and speaker wire for your new speakers, jsut remeber to budget that in when deciding on what to purchace

To give you an idea of what $250 will get you (nothing)
I have about $4,000 in sterio equipment thats going in very soon...


But $250 W/ amp is gonna be a hard one. I have a great budget amp new in box ill sell you cheap.

Its a phenox gold 250watt 2 channel amp

i'll sell that to you for 50bucks because your on this forum. As for speakers your left with 200bucks. I would go with CDT speakers

Those would be perfect




Then You can buy a wireharness from me if you need one.

As for back speakers, don't worry about it. Rear fill is not needed. I don't use back speakers and I'm a crazy audiophile.

I got two 12" Subs in my hatcback.

Decided to go with a kenwood system. Subs are hooked up to a Kenwood KAC-91520 Amp, with bass control.

For my speakers I went with Kenwood KFC-P707 Mountable Tweeters, hooked up to a Kenwood KAC-8452 4/3/2 Channel Amp. With Stock rear speakers, for now. Sounds greaaaat! Toned the bass down up front, have it all going to the back, and I love it.

i noticed that amp is 2 channels, so if i wanted to do the rear later on i would need another amp?

For the price range you're willing to spend in, you ought to look at the Infinity Reference series, good quality for the price, I'd recommend the 6010cs up front and the 9612i in the rear, then back them up with any capable amp from a reputable manufacturer.
Be aware that these speakers operate at 90W RMS and 100W RMS, respectively, so give them some decent power.

forget the 6x9 in the rear. sound should come from the front, and not the rear. the money you save from the 6x9 will get you a better set of components for the front. better fronts is still better than cheaper front+rear.

btw, 05b-rollas: the inifnity kappa used to be good. now they run in 2ohm. unless you get the kappa perfect series.

ya i have the amp for my subs on a low pass filter so any high pass bass isnt used on my subs because it sounds pretty bad. My subs are competition so they are made for the lower bass. What I want to do first is upgrade my front speakers because they are becoming pretty shot so I'm going to look around on your advice and see what I can find. Later I'll look around for rear speakers to fill in the high pass bass.
