Im looking to change my 05 coupe bose setup. I currently have a zenclosure box with 2 jl 10w3v2 d4 powered by a jl 500/1v2 amp. i want to change my front door speakers so i looked up a couple diff ones. My budget is 300 btw for the speakers and amp. I mainly listen to rap and hip hop as well as house music. Im sure with my jl sub i will have good bass so i just need my speakers to sound really clear and not distorted at high volumes.

Speakers-




amps-

These are what i found but if anyone can suggest better feel free to post them. i was told i wouldnt need to have the rear bose subs on anymore. what size for rear speakers do i need? i have not looked any up cuz i have no idea which would fit. im not sure if the amp i posted would be enough power for both front and rear speakers. Thank is advance for any help u guys give.

 

"Best possible" and $300 budget are mutually exclusive.

$300 is a poor spot for getting quality, even if you mean best possible for $300.

But in that range, I'd say Phoenix Golds with a Soundstream amp.

 

i could push it to 400 if it makes a difference. U mentioned phoenix gold over the 3 speakers i posted. r the ones i found bad?

 

You could get some Boston Acoustics ProSE60 for $270 shipped:

And then get a two channel amp with the $130 left over.

But you wont have anymore money left for an amp kit.

 

Infinity speakers tend to favor crisper (sometimes painfully so) highs than being able to do the lows of rap, R&B, house etc.... Like if you want cymbals to ring your ears, the Infinitys are good. Phoenix gold make good budget speakers so if you're doing a $300 build, they're the way to go, but if you can go up to $400, I'd recommend this:

Combine these up front:

With this amp:

Don't even bother with rear speakers. Front soundstage setup is very good for rap.

 

I wouldn't recommend that setup, Pro60SEs are great speakers, I love mine, but they're definitely not for a budget build. If the budget was $600, that'd be a good way though, but a better amp, definitely not a $130 one.

 

400?

Thanks for all the replies. Knowing I just need a 2 channel amp changes things. Ok so to double check 6x9 coaxial's speakers are not needed? How bout the two 5 i'n a half speakers that are i'n the rear as well. Do I tell my installer to leave those off as well as my 2 Bose subs ?

 

No, rears aren't needed

Take all the stock speakers out

While you're there, you should apply sound sound deadening

 

Cool so i will make sure i get those out. I seen pics of the sound deadening for the inside door panels and bottom portion of trunk. Is this what i need to prevent rattling of doors and trunk from bass? i tried googling some but there so many diff sites. Any specific place to order from or will audio shops already have them?

 

Pretty much. If you truly want SQ, start with lowering the noise floor of your car. A quiet cabin helps out tremendously.

As far as areas to deaden

Seal the doors up
trunk lid/trunk
rear deck
Floor(if possible)

It's a project in itself, though and can get a lil costly. I'd start off with the doors, though

leaning towards the polk mm6501 speakers and i found them for 156.40 free shipping.

as far as the amp i found it for 89.99 free shipping

the speakers say 2.7 ohm so im assuming i should look at rms for 2 ohms on the amps. will the amp u posted give me the best sound quality i can get out of these speakers?

 

The components eggyhustles recommended look like they'll be higher sound quality, but not as loud, as they're 4 ohm @ 100w, versus the 2.7 ohm @ 125w on the Polk audio I recommended. Your choice there - volume or quality, but they both should be plenty loud for you.

I won't try and claim better knowledge on amps at all, so the RUB is probably the way to go.

And sound deadening would exceed your budget, but it's a definitely improvement, and I also wouldn't recommend anywhere else to purchase or learn than sounddeadenershowdown.com.

Even doing something basic, like two CLD tiles on each door, 4 on the trunk lid, 2 on each rear wheel well, and a couple on the rear deck won't cost too much, and give very good results.

 

Rub is usually the lowest u'd want to go on the sound stream chain for multi channel amps. I've never heard those polks, so no comment on those, but the sensitivity between them and id are almost identical. You'll gain about 1db in volume with 150 per on the polks..but that isn't noticeable at all..

 

ok so im goin to order about 20 cld tiles to be safe. Eggy i see u have new york under locations. do u know of any good spots to get all this installed for a good price including puttin on the cld tiles? im not sure if shops around me would know how to put them on properly.
