Looking for an upgrade


Recommended Posts

Hey everybody, so I'm looking for a set of some 5 1/4". I'd like to run them active so comps would be nice but if anybody has had some experience with some coax's that sounded good i'm tuned in.

I currently don't have a 4-chan so I'll base my decision off of what speakers I run.

Budget is around 150 for a set.

Here are some comps i've been looking at.

If you have had any experience with any set that has been talked about let me know.

Thanks in advance for any input.

Don't run 5.25's they just don't have the midbass a 6.5" has.

6.5's blend much better with a sub stage than the smaller 5.25's do.

Prior to my hertz speakers i just got, i had a set of JBL's and loved them they were damn near as good as these hertz are and the bass was phenomenal.

Did you have the Kappa Perfects or just the Kappas?

Totally agree & i've got a pair of Eclipse SC8365's but my doors on my new (to me) car only fit 5.25's & as of right now I don't want to start cutting my door up to make them fit.
