Need Some Suggestions

[kevie4383]

Hey all,

i'm planning to get a new stereo. prolly going with this one JVC KD-APD89

and i'm also planning to get some new speakers as well but i don't know anything bout em. so i need some suggestions. not crazy into sounds and stuff but i just wanna get some nice sounds going. looking for some not too expensive speakers

wondering about those i saw on ebay like, MTX, Eclipse, Kenwood, Polk, Sony, Infinity and Alpine.

ps. i have not a single clue in my head.
thx for replying

Kev.

btw are these any good? ROCKFORD FOSGATE POWERT T1693C

and what does 2 way 3 way 4 way means?

JVC decks aren't bad, good for the price.

As far as speakers go I'm not a fan of Rockfords at all, especially for speakers. If you're looking for something decent without spending too much I would go with Infinity reference series or Polk DB series speakers. Both produce great sound, but a little bit different sound. The Infinitys are better for a wide range of sound, the Polks aren't quite as good in the lows and mids, but have crisper highs IMO.

And 2 way speakers have the speaker with 1 small tweater, 3 way have 2 tweaters, etc etc. Generally most speakers are 2 way for 6 1/2" and 3 for 6x9s.

And you will find out that with car audio, almost everything is personal preference. My advice would be to go into a Circuit City and a Best Buy, listen to the stuff there, find out what you like, and either buy it there or order it online. Between those two stores you can check out most of the major brands on the market. CCity has Polk, Eclipse, MTX, and Kicker, Best Buy has Infinity, Alpine, and a few others.

dont go pioneer... one of the owners of my car before me replaced all the speakers... now 3 of them work... sometimes.. there crap.

[kevie4383]

ok so we got it narrowed down to infinity =)

so INFINITY KAPPA 60.9CS 6.5" 270W
or INFINITY KAPPA 62.9I 6.5" 2 WAY 225 W
or INFINITY 6022I 6.5" 2-WAY

?? thx again

thats probably what i am going to do when i get a bit more money.

If you're going with an unamplified system I would go with a pair of 6020CS'. Those are the reference series components. With minor modifications you can replace the stock tweaters with the ones in the components. Go with 9623Is in the rear.

Thats the setup I was going to do. I don't want an amplifer or anything like that just replacing the stock speakers. However on crutchfield it says they will not fit, does that mean I have to make modifications if so how hard will it be? My experience with car audio ends at replacing the front door speakers with OEM ones.

well i not sure if i will be going for amp but i do wanna reserve the the chance to put in an amp later on tho. and maybe a sub too if i ever get a chance
cuz i have alot of things i need to fix on the car =/

[kevie4383]

oh and btw if i do want to add amp and sub which kind of speakers shud i go for? so i can compare the quality and budget.

thanx again
