I want to upgrade my speakers in my non bose 05. Already have a 10" kicker sub and an Alpine IVA-W205 double din.

Beebo told me Infinity References? but i think they are really expensive (any good sites you guys recommend???)

Whats some good, clear, crisp sounding speakers that arent like, ridiculously expensive.

Thanks!

 

Dynaudio!!! Not cheap though.

 

What's your price range?

Everything is dependent on that to begin with...

I'm currently running Boston Acoustics Pro60 SEs with an Alpine MRP-F600 amp - 150W RMS x4

I'd recommend Polk Audio db6501 6-1/2" components...they are a solid for $200 a pair

If that is out of your price range, the Infinity Reference 6020cs are decent for around $140 a set

 

$140 a set? Where can i find these?

And the polks for $200?

Curious. Do i have to run these into an amp. I think somebody said that the last time i mentioned upgrading my speakers.

 

Im running Jl audio C5-650 comps in the front, and c5-650x's in the rear, sound amazing but they are roughly $300 a pair.

 

Focal K2 running off amp. not cheap either.

 

^^^i have focal's bottom line and love them. then again, i think an audio newb (like myself) would be happy with anything better than stock.

 

Bucszilla, how good is the F600? I've been looking into getting that amp but have seen only a couple of reviews on it. I've got a set of Infinity Kappa Perfects that are in need of some power

 

This amp will be more than enough to push everything out of your speakers and then some. I think it is a great amp especially for only a $300 price tag. It is money well spent. I also have the Alpine M1000 to push an Alpine type X 12" sub...I haven't installed it YET but I went ahead and got another Alpine amp because the F600 was impressive.


These Infinity Reference 6-1/2s are on sale (original price was $200, now $140): http://www.crutchfield.com/p_1086020...l?tp=105&avf=N

Polk 6501: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_107DB65...N&tp=105&avf=N

 

I have the Infinity References in the front and they work just fine. Great improvement over stock.

 

i have an 06 coupe and i was wondering if anyone was having trouble finding speakers that arent too deep for the rear.. i measured and my clearance is only about 1.25 in.. anyone have any good speakers that would fit that?

 

Do i have to run either of those off an amp or can i just replace my stock speakers with them?

Just curious because i HAVE an amp, just dont know if it will work with speakers or not (Hifonics BXi608)

 

I would definitely use an amp for your speakers...get a decent 4 channel amp and you will be set. If you plan on getting just 1 pair of speakers, obviously the 2 channel amp would be appropriate. If you just run your speakers off the HU it will sound just ok, nothing great, but if you use an amp you will easily hear the improvement in sound quality and you will be glad you spent the extra on an amp.

4 Channel on sale for $169: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_500MRPF...00.html?tp=115

2 Channel on sale for $99: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_575R150...-2.html?tp=115

 

Alright. I will figure out what mine is and do what is needed.

What do you guys recommend for tweeters? Do i need to run those into the amp too? or are they just plug and play?

 

Nothing on or in your FX is cheap lol i bet they sound great though
