Techno_Allah Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Alright, first off I'm a newbie when it comes to Car Audio and the like and I've a decision to make that I'd like help with since you lot are up on this stuff.I've got a 15 inch Kicker Subwoofer that I'm about to put in my jeep and I need help/recommendations on what kind of Mid/high speakers to compliment it. I've no idea how much would be over kill or underwhelming and I'm not about to buy more/less than I need without some sort of gauge.http://www.amazon.com/Kicker-11S15L7D2-Solo-Baric-Car-Subwoofer/dp/B004MX8KHQ/ref=pd_cp_e_0(That's the woofer I've know that I got now)http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PDBT18-3-75-Inch-Aluminum-Titanium/dp/B00079P752/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405892965&sr=1-3&keywords=Audio+pyle+bullet(And a pair of these tweeters from a mate who had too much)Hope I was clear enough with my question and I welcome all recommendations and advice. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moredbs Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 you need to explain what type of box and power your gonna give to the sub, also are you gonna run an amp for your mids and highs. what size speakers do your doors take. 2 6.5 coaxial rated at 75 rms would be plenty to keep up .

Alright. Let's give this a go. -The box will be a ported one as I was told sealed enclosures provide less kick or something along those lines. - I've already purchased this amp for it. https://www.soundqubed.com/Q1-2200D_p_31.html - I plan on getting a separate amp to run the mids and highs but it would only make sense to select one after I find out how many speakers I'll be running. The stock speakers in the door will be swapped out for some decent coaxial speakers but from what I've been recommended, the mids and highs will be placed into a container or box of some sort and installed in back of the jeep (Right behind the headrest of the rear passenger seats) and the pair of tweeters my mate gave me would be mounted onto the door itself in a little box that looks similar to this (http://www2.crutchfield.com.edgesuite.net/pix.crutchfield.com/ImageHandler/fixedscale/400/300/products/2009/05/091/x091165KRX3-o_pod1.jpeg) Hope I answered the questions sufficiently.

Techno_Allah Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 You have a kicker sub ... Why not run Kicker components ?? I have a pair in my son's car that sounds great !! For the sake of uniformity, that would be the obvious choice but from what I can see Kicker is a brand that a solid bit of folk tend to talk down as being too pricey and not offering as much as other brands. I got the sub, unused, for next to nothing and I've no major preference in brands when it comes to car audio equipment...but I feel as if purchasing matching brand speakers without researching/asking what's good is the lazy man's route.

Sad really To each his own I guess. Best of luck with your system brother.

Tecomah Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 The crescendo cz components are awesome for the price, but the crossovers leave something to be desired 750??! Yeah, fuck that.

Sad really To each his own I guess. Best of luck with your system brother. Whoa, don't get me wrong, I'm all for uniformity. The OCD part of me would like to see my kicker sub matched up with other kicker speakers instead of having a patchwork setup of 'this and that'. I wanted to hear the opinions of others before making a decision to just buy products of the same brand incase I could have gotten a better setup without going that route. For instance, I might swap the stock speakers out with two of these bastards here but would they be enough? http://www.amazon.com/Kicker-6-5-MARINE-RANGE-Speaker/dp/B007QVOKRK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405975247&sr=8-1&keywords=kicker+mids+and+highs Would I need smaller mid range speakers and a few tweeters as well? Excuse me if I come off as annoying. This is my first time doing something like this and the last thing I need to do is overspend like some sort of madman and have an overpriced mismatched car audio system.
