Speaker upgrade

[Accrdwgnguy]

So yea I dont know crap about what car audio brands are good these days. I need new speakers for the wagon, I currently have 10 year old sony xplods and they suck at this point, real tinny.

So what good speakers can I get for a decent price?

i did a whole overhaul on my car and the sound system
i bought everything from crutchfield minus the subs...
http://www.crutchfield.com/
i would suggest using them because of a few reasons
1. awesome support. you can call in 24/7 7 days a week to ask for help with anything.
2. if you order enough merchandise, shipping is usually free.
3. any additional pieces that you might need come with the speakers, FOR FREE!
ex. if you buy speakers you get an adapter that will plug into the stock harness and will connect to the speaker
They have an option to "outfit my car" which lets you choose your car and as you browse through the speakers it will say "will fit" with a check mark and so you know your getting shit that will fit

Man go with Memphis PR'S or M-Class, or if you want something better go with Beyma speackers, those are the best

I agree going with crutchfield you can never go wrong.

If you want good quality and a good price. I would personally go with Polk DB's, they will sound good with just a deck and even better with an amp.

go for infinity kappa series....also go for jbl gto series. go for jl audio....I just bought energy speaker 6.5 in back and 5 1/2 in front.....they sound so good and i only bought them for 100

I put Pioneer speakers in when I replaced my stock speakers and I've been very happy with them. They're pretty good for the price and sound great with the stock deck.

Go infinity____and beyond

I found some JBL gto comps on ebay a while ago for $30. Really can't go wrong with anything if you just want better sound. Anything is better than Xplodes.

i had two 13ooW xplods and they never did me wrong...

what power is your head unit pushing? Do you use amps?

If you are not running an amp then why buy speakers that actually REQUIRE an amp to see their full potential? You will be spending a lot for something you will never use. Most radios have rms of 19-22watts and max wattage of 45-75 watts per channel.

So getting a speaker that can handle 200+ max watts and 50+ rms is over doing it and will not sound better. And, as I understand it, just quoting what I have heard, greatly under powering a speaker like that can lead to the speakers failing prematurely just like overpowering a speaker.

To have the best sound and to preserve your speakers, you need to get speakers that fit the power you will be feeding them...not the power you wish you were feeding them.

Underpowering a speaker won't kill it. Car audio is more than just looking at power handling, unfortunately...that would make life so much simpler. I would look at sensitivity/efficiency. You want high efficiency to make the most sound per watt.
