J R Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Putting my new setup together but need speakers up front. Thinking about doing 6.5 in the doors (2 doors), and two 6x9 or 6.5 in the back. What should I put in the back if anything? And what brand should I go with? Was thinking hifonics, polk audio, pioneer, or fosgate. I don't need any more bass I already have 2 15's I just need the best mids/highs I can get. I also need whatever I put in to be able to take a lot and be extremely loud to overpower the cars open header exhaust . I also have a 600.4 hifoncis amp dedicated for whatever I decide to put on it. Any advice would be great. Oh, and the 6.5's in the front have to be covered by a grill due to a roll cage being right in front of them.

Maebros Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 the best advice i can give is go around some local shops and listen to the different brands of speakers that they have. and try to find some that you like first. IMO when it comes to mid/highs speakers its all about what sounds good to you. it would really suck to invest in a set of speakers only to get them installed and find out you hate them. WOMBAT.

fx4trucker Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 i agree with maebros. i have some older eclipse 51/4 inch comps. and i bought some newer hertz hi energy comps and the eclipse sound way better .. but from what u listed the fosgate are really good for around $250 .. power wise its worth looking at the RE audio XXX 6.5 they range from $260 to $350... if u have the money u cant go wrong with focal , they are super loud and clear.. have u thought about running active ? then if so the new fosgate pro are really nice and loud.. oh and if u do run a rear stage u dont need much.. maybe some col-axle ... a rear stage isnt really needed this way u can spend more up front . but if u are running 2 15's i was say 2 sets up front .. i am am running 3 sets of comps 2 front and one in the rear just to keep up with my single 15 .. but for the most part get out there and start researching and licensing to all different kinds .. there are soooo many good speakers in the 300 dollar rang .. good luck alpine head unit (freebee 2009 model)2 sets of eclpise 5.25 comp. speakers. 1. set is in the a-pilors 1. memphis mojo 2500 watt amp 1. rockford fosgate t2 15" dual 2 ohm wired to 4 ohm . seeing 600 watts 1. realm audio 600 watt 4ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J R Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 I'm going by a local stereo shop or two today hopefully maybe even Walmart just for kicks. Stuff is junk but enough of it and it sounds good at some point, right?

notorious97200 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Don't go cheap on the front speakers. If you don't use rear ones that leaves you more money for the frontstage ! Better idea ! More cheap speakers won't sound as good as less good quality speakers ! Understand what I mean ?

J R Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Makes perfect sense. I think I'm going to get some nicer front speakers that will hold a good 120rms each or I might go with 2 in each door of a medium quality such as Hifonics. Bad idea? ***2001 GMC 2500HD Regular Cab*** -Jensen 9312 Flip-Out -2 12 inch Pioneer Step-up Shallow Mounts -Kicker ZX750.1 for Lows -Pioneer 6.5 coax in the doors -Pioneer 4x6 coax in the pillars -Old School Alpine MRV-F250 for Mids/Highs ***1969 Camaro Z/28*** -500+ cubic inch 950hp BBC + 400-650 shot of Nitrous -Audio coming soon- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J R Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 I have just liked all my hifonics stuff in the past. The speakers are going in a 69 camaro z28 drag car that's also getting 2 15's thrown in it. I am getting a hifonics zrx1000.4 amp for the mids and highs thats gonna put out 125x4 @4ohm. Due to needing $350 in 22ft of 4 gauge wiring, a cap, rca's, line driver/equalizer, ring terminals, 4 channel amp, and other little things...My budget is tight. I'm ordering most of the little stuff like this off amazon. I saw the hifonics 6.5's they looked recent and had good reviews. They're 75rms. Other than these I was looking at polk audio 6.5's. The DB651s speakers. They're 55rms. My car has a loud exhaust so I need speakers that can get really loud and not mind it. Do you think I should just go with a 600.4 hifonics? It's 75x4 @4ohm. Theres only a $20 difference between the two so I figured might as well. Good idea? And which speakers seem good? If either of these, LOL. ***2001 GMC 2500HD Regular Cab*** -Jensen 9312 Flip-Out -2 12 inch Pioneer Step-up Shallow Mounts -Kicker ZX750.1 for Lows -Pioneer 6.5 coax in the doors -Pioneer 4x6 coax in the pillars -Old School Alpine MRV-F250 for Mids/Highs ***1969 Camaro Z/28*** -500+ cubic inch 950hp BBC + 400-650 shot of Nitrous -Audio coming soon- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
