I have the Pioneer Premium speaker set up.. Would it make a difference if I upgraded the 6X9's in the rear?

 

i always was fan of 6x9s they are hella loud

 

yes. the pioneer package is an upgrade over the complete trash stock speakers but most aftermarket are quite a bit better. as long as u dont get the bottom of the barrel speakers u should be fine

 

Anyone recommend a speaker Brand... I only really want to spend about $250 max on them.. if possible

 

I would recomend sticking with Pioneer.

 

pioneer speakers are awsome, stick wth them. thats what i got in my balt and you hear them over my l7 =)

 

no no no no no....get infinities...i got 4 (2 6.5's & 2 6x9's) for 200 bux...they are the clearest speakers for the price IMO

 

I wouldnt replace the back ones unless it was absolutely necessary. First of all its nearly impossible to get to them. You have to take out basically the entire rear interior of the car. Second, The sound quality wont be that much better. I would start by replacing the front component speakers. $250 should get you a nice set, and then go from there. Just my opinion.

 

are you serious? i just took out the two a-pillars and the deck pops right out, just have to bend it a little, but it goes right back to shape.

 

by a pillars u mean c pillars and yes.

but that doesnt really mean u shouldnt swap them out. i would start with the front speakers as well assuming the rears arent blown

 

I said this before and I'll say it again.
I replaced my stockers with infinity reference speakers as well, thought they sounded pretty good.
That was until I traded those for a set Hertz energy series component (5.25w3/4 in front and 6.5w3/4 in back) They blow them out of the water.

No offence to Britt, I know you liked the infinity's but for the same price I paid for the infinity's I got the Hertz and there 1o times the speaker.
Even if you go with the lower line Hertz speakers there still a better speaker than most you'll find out there in that price range.

IMO the Focal Speakers are just as good as the Hertz and sell for the same price (unless you go for the Utopia's, they will cost ya)

Oh and "Mommy never Hug me Enough" Chimes in his 2 cents
First of all, cant you come up with something better than Infinity licks *****?
You must have learned that on those rough ass streets your from
Guy, Your from Edmonton!!!
Thats hardcore, I hear its gets crazy down at West Edmonton Mall, must be a real hotbed of ganland activity.
Your a fraud, who doesn't have anything usefull to say.
You say your some crazy installer, but all you ever say is "that licks *****" and so on.
Wow you must had to go through some intense schooling for that

Emp- I have found that if the tweeters are to harsh, switch the positive and neg. up
I know it sounds stupid but it changes the sound stage and takes alot of the harshness out of them
Myself, I like alot of high end, thats why I roll with my treble on 7 (lol)

 

lol i have neg 6 on the deck and gain on the amp all the way down for the tweet

 

okay pro.
to each his own

 

Infinity are good speakers for the money. I like the Kappa's a lot. I went with MTX in my car though. I got a great deal on them on ebay brand new and they sound really good. Most of the higher quality aftermarket speakers are going to sound better though, just a matter of which you think sounds best! You should go to a retailer and listen to the different ones and then try to find them online for a better price! Good luck :0)

 

JL Audio is the best

 

Those "both suck *****", get Diamond audio or Boston Acoustics for Highs.

 

lol all the bickering

 

lol yeah.
most people...me included, have only had one brand and they think it's the best without trying others...yes im guilty. but i dont push it lol. but my advice for the thread starter is to just go and look first, and then if you dont get the ones you want, youll know next time..

 

Wow... it just never ends. Thats a whole new level of maturity right there

 

Thanks for the advice... Which should i upgrade first my 6.5" or the 6x9's?

 

id upgrade the 6.5's first.... look into the diaamond audio hex series



but in reality go to an audio shop and listen to what they have.. everyones ears hear things diffrently.. i have slight hearing damage and diamond sounds great to me... it might suck for you.. much like the guy above who said JL is the best... i think there mids and highs sound like muddy garbage
