eltortuga94 Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 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. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9112_Polk-Audio-db5251-5-1-4-2-way-Component-System.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_26473_DLS-X-Program-X-SD52.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_18912_Infinity-Reference-5030cs.html My aunts' truck has the upgraded infinty system & it sounds real nice, although I don't believe these are the exact speakers they used. http://www.woofersetc.com/p-5241-spr-13s-alpine-525-2-way-300-watt-component-speaker-system.aspx If you have had any experience with any set that has been talked about let me know. Thanks in advance for any input. Quote System: Basically Stock In process of upgrading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 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.

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.

Kranny Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 infinitys speakers just dont sound nice. its all highs and lows. theres barely any mids. their tweeters are the harshest out of anything i've heard. even worse than a pair of "300w" tweeters i had in my car years and years ago. im being dead serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullz Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 JBL P660C, great sounding speakers that do it all. If i hadn't got a great deal on the hertz i have now i would still be using them. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12260_JBL-P660C.html Quote 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
