knubs Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 Hello everyone, i am about to upgrade my mids and highs and i would like some opinions before i buy. i have an 02 mitsubishi lancer with four 6 1/2" speakers. right now i have some really cheap kenwood 3 way speakers and they suck. so now i am upgrading to components and i am getting a better 4 channel amp. i've looked around a bit and i am thinking about putting a pair of rockford fosgate t165-s's ( http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_33549_Rockford_Fosgate_T1675-S.aspx ) in the doors up front and a pair of alpine sps-610C's ( http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34373_Alpine-SPS-610C.html ) in the back. what do you guys think? my speaker/tweeter budget is only $200. i really want high quality sound, but i also want them to be loud too so that the bass doesn't cover them up too much. my sub will be a DC XL 15" on 2400watts. also for my amp i am thinking about getting the rockford fosgate R400-4D http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34761_Rockford-Fosgate-R400-4D.html so let me know what you guys think about these items. i am open to all suggestions in the same price range. i hate realizing i could have spent my money better
Raptorman Posted January 17, 2013 Report Posted January 17, 2013 I have the T165's, they don't get too loud. They sound decent though.

knubs Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for the input Raptorman! anyone have a pair of 6 1/2's that they got for ~$100 and really love?
Kyblack76 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 Some FOCAL's from Rich. He is a bad ass.. tell him hello from me.. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/157152-fsfocal-utopia-6w2-65s/ And some stellar sundown comps from a equally cool member... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/159299-sundown-65cs-components/ Id jump on either..... quite quickly...

knubs Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 well those focals are way outside my budget and the sundowns are already sold. any suggestion for a set of components that are about $100 a set?
Kyblack76 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Posted January 18, 2013 I'd make Rich an offer .. See what he says man! And the sundown comps Ken has may not be sold..... Make them both a offer man.... You might get a good deal... SMD SUPER SELLER The Burban Build Blazer Build sold Acura trunk build sold
knubs Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Posted January 18, 2013 well i made an offer on the sundown's. the focals already have offers $100 more than i could pay.
knubs Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Posted January 22, 2013 i ended up ordering a set of the alpines and a set of pioneer ts-d1720c's. at the very least it will be a lot better than what i have now!
notorious97200 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 You said you want "high quality sound" with a $100 set ? It will hard to get. You should have Saved some more money for a really good set upfront, you don't need no rear speakers. work on the install : solid baffle for them, good sound deadening to get the most out of them. Good luck black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200. Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats. 2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a sealed box. SecondSkin Damplifier on front doors, and Luxury Liner Pro for the cargo area.
