K i got the aftermarket radio in and now i need some speakers. What are the best sounding speakers in the balt? What do u guys have?

 

I just put in an Alpine component system with 6 1/2" mids and 1 1/2" tweeters in my front doors. I also just put in some Alpine 6 x 9's in the back. I couldn't be happier.

 

I went with Boston nto only cuz I am a dealer fo them, but they have a sweet mid range when added to a subwoofer. They are clear.

 

i have pioneer 3-ways in the doors and 4-ways in the rear and it sounds pretty good. better once i get a sub

 

I have boston acoustic sl60s in the front with the tweeter and crossover, and Boston acoustic sx95 in the rear..

they are nice!

 

no such thing as best sounding speakers

 

i agree with emperor. there aren't any "best sounding" speakers. it's all what you like and what you think sounds best.

 

I have used Dual brand white cone "Illuminite" series speakers in my father's car. For a $40 pair of coax 6.5" I was floored with the SQ. They use 1" silk domes along with 2 little pizos to keep it crisp. The midrange is good and they swing their little hearts out to try and make bass. They sell 6x9 versions too. I picked up a pair for rear fill in my balt, but have other plans for the doors.

It put to shame the much more expensive alpines I had in my previous car.

 

^^^^ i severely disagree with that statement god no

 

DLS, CDT

done

 

cdt is nice i agree

 

no such thing as best sounding speakers

yes there is go JL!!!!! haha

 

I find crapping on stuff purely by the brand name to be extremely closed minded. but maybe I just haven't heard realy good SQ setups. All I know is those were good bang for the buck to me.

 

i personally have heard these in a friends car and they do not sound good at all, i also do tons of home/car/marine audio installs and you're right that for the money they aren't bad, but they wouldn't be my choice. i would go with alpine type x components in the front and the type x 6x9s in the rear.i love the type x's

 

while i do prefer the very high end speakers i really havent herd a single dual ive even close to liked. I vaugely remember a set that sounded similar to what u were describing but i cant say for certain ive herd those exact ones but theres so much better out there. I have herd worse thou sadly enough

 

OK, while Emperor says there is no best sounding speaker, that's both true and not true. It's up to your ears...what you think is best versus what someone else thinks is best.

Go to some stores and listen to different speakers. We could give you a hundred brands/models, but it's up to you (how much you want to spend and what you like both sound and styling...although you won't see the speakers most likely).

I personally have had Pioneer, Kenwood, Polk, RF, and a few others. I thought for the price, the RF HPC2206's I had from more than a few years ago were great sounding. Don't know about newer RF products though.

I will be going to Boston Acoustics if I ever upgrade the system in the Cobalt. I think I'll do the SX series.

 

I have all powerbass 3XL series comps and 2 way 6x9's absolutly beautiful and well priced

 

Definitely components in the fronts with some nice 6x9s in the rear for your mid-bass filler. Check out Memphis, CDT, Alpine Type-R or X, Infinity Kappa, MB Quart, Boston, or Orion.

 

3xl 6X9s are beefy as a ****. i forgot what they sound like bc we mainly sell the 2xl but the magnet is giant (not that that really means anything thou)
