Seymore Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 With my tax return on the way and plenty of time on my hands, i'm changing my mind on speakers for my car A LOT.I was looking at two sets of components, but i think i'd rather have just one set in the front and a set of coaxials in the back. I have $100-$150 (no more than 150$) for two sets (four) speakers. I'm looking at these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_67790_Rockford-Fosgate-R165X3.html and these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_61010_Rockford-Fosgate-PRIME-R165-S.html Cheap, but still Rockford Or these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_68141_MB-Quart-OKC116.html and these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_68145_MB-Quart-OSC216.html I've heard a lot of great things about the Onyx series. But I could get these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_43143_Rockford-Fosgate-P165.html and these http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_61207_Rockford-Fosgate-P165-S.html but I'm gonna have to wait another month for the amp if i do. Still Rockford quality, established brand and VERY nice for the price.Any opinions? They'll be properly amped up even if they're 30w rms. I'm going to pick the amp out after the speakers are firmly decided on.Feel free to give some experiences and advice/suggestions. 2001 Civic LX SedanPioneer DEH-7500HD Big 3 in 1/0 Knu CCARockford P500-4RF Punch P165-S in doorsRF Punch P165 in rear deckFront doors deadened with DamplifierNextSQ's new HDS208 8" in a T-line whenever it FINALLY COMES OUT I CAN FINALLY AFFORD IT Bend over and I'll show ya. how is it 2 days work? half a day at most, i may be an idiot, but im not an idiot.

Krakin Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I like the last option a lot. The first, cheap is cheap. Have you considered just dumping it all in just a set for the front? Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

mmets Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 ok now after looking I would personally go with the punch comps. I also like mb quart too though but I think you will get better sound with a component set vs coaxial. I wouldn't go with anything of the prime series. Im not saying Rockford is bad by any means because there not but I haven't heard a lot of good things about the prime series. I do have a prime amp in my wifes car though and no complaints with it. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177477-slowboring-07-trailblazer-build/Pioneer DEH-80PRSPRV 8MR400-NDY (eight) PRV TW350Ti (6)Sky High 1/0 OFC, 12 gauge and 8 gaugeTM Metalworkz battery terminals 120 sqft HushmatXS Power D3100 (6)Singer 350 Amp Alt Singer 320 (2)American Bass SQL3200 JL Audio JX360/4 Crossfire XS 8K (2) DC Audio XL 15s (6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymore Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 The thing is though, If I only get a set for my front doors i'll have stock in the back :/I really do like the Punch's looks and reviews though, they seem pretty popular. Anyone have some other brands/models to give experience? 2001 Civic LX SedanPioneer DEH-7500HD Big 3 in 1/0 Knu CCARockford P500-4RF Punch P165-S in doorsRF Punch P165 in rear deckFront doors deadened with DamplifierNextSQ's new HDS208 8" in a T-line whenever it FINALLY COMES OUT I CAN FINALLY AFFORD IT Bend over and I'll show ya. how is it 2 days work? half a day at most, i may be an idiot, but im not an idiot.

mmets Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 grab the pictures and toss them on the post. To keep it not being a VS post make a couple or few different post on opinions on these speakers. May have to look at a couple different post but better than getting a naughty note and a thread locked. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/177477-slowboring-07-trailblazer-build/Pioneer DEH-80PRSPRV 8MR400-NDY (eight) PRV TW350Ti (6)Sky High 1/0 OFC, 12 gauge and 8 gaugeTM Metalworkz battery terminals 120 sqft HushmatXS Power D3100 (6)Singer 350 Amp Alt Singer 320 (2)American Bass SQL3200 JL Audio JX360/4 Crossfire XS 8K (2) DC Audio XL 15s (6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoomZoom808 Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I would go for the punch series if you plan on amping them. I have never been a fan of mylar tweeters either. I would stick with Silk or Aluminum Krakin is also correct you will really only hear the front set so spending more money on something up front is a good idea. 2010 Mazda 3s 2.5L Pioneer DEH-X9600BHS Knu OFC 1/0 SS Platinum AGM / XS Power XP750 Alpine PDX F-4 / Morel Maximo 5 + Coax 5 IA 10.1 / SSA XCON 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymore Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 My question now is that is the extra 40$ worth it for the component set? 2001 Civic LX SedanPioneer DEH-7500HD Big 3 in 1/0 Knu CCARockford P500-4RF Punch P165-S in doorsRF Punch P165 in rear deckFront doors deadened with DamplifierNextSQ's new HDS208 8" in a T-line whenever it FINALLY COMES OUT I CAN FINALLY AFFORD IT Bend over and I'll show ya. how is it 2 days work? half a day at most, i may be an idiot, but im not an idiot.
