Sean Sinha Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 never had the infinity speakers but all the other speakers i have had never really shined until i amped them with at least 40 watt rms per channel . i have currently alpine type s 6.5 components and and coaxial speakers and if you can get a deal they are an ok value . http://www.sonicelec...o-C3-650CW.html here's a bit of a deal , but they are out of stock other wise i would have bought these . i also would be willing to give rf a try , i have read elsewhere that the infinities scream on deck power . if it were me i would really plan on running an amp for mids and highs . In reality, he should get speakers that shine either way. I think Infinity will fit the bill and run well without an amp and when he gets an amp, they'll truly shine. Alpine Type E and Type S components are very nice for the money.

OBI Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Have you looked into Pro Audio brands? Lets just say I will never run normal car audio speakers again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassHead1990 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 for my highs and mids i bought some Kicker DS35 and DS693. (3.5" and 6x9) but they have 6.5" im sure. they are really a great bang for the buck. they are amazingly clear and crisp. havent heard any distortion whatsoever http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_m23_i47_kicker-6-1-2-speakers.html a lot of great reviews What about ks series, any reviews?

Tim Lam Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 for my highs and mids i bought some Kicker DS35 and DS693.

HunterJohnson Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 get a decent amp for your stock speakers and be done with it until youre ready to upgrade Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 My $9 Focal mids from parts-express sound amazing, and they get pretty loud for being 8 ohms, and on headunit power.

Guest Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 i hated the sound of infinity speakers in every install i've seen with them. WAY too bright. if ear piercing tweeters are your thing, then go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 i hated the sound of infinity speakers in every install i've seen with them. WAY too bright. if ear piercing tweeters are your thing, then go for it. There is a HUGE difference between my old B-pillar Infinity Reference series 4X6s and my newer Rockford 5.25 components in the same location. There are things I've heard in songs that used to be so shrill before I never knew WHAT they truly sounded like. I agree, I used to think Infinity was nice, but they are bright as shit. Even the silk dome components are pretty harsh and not very detailed. Quote Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega5002 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yeah, I'd have to agree about the Infinitys, they are too damn bright, I don't like either their Car or Home audio gear.
