reedal Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 One of the guys on my ship wants a component set for the front of his 2005 Tacoma, and a coaxial set for the rear. 6.5 mids. He doesn't want to run an amplifier for it though, I'll try to talk him into it though. But to meet his wants, is there a component set that can be powered by HU only (including passive crossovers) and still have decent output? A brand that sells coaxials as well for matching brands please. He doesn't want to spend more than $150 for both components and coaxials. He made that firm. It's just a daily so he's not running his EVO VIII all the time. Thanks for any help. Should be all the info you need, but if you need more, let me know. He hasn't chosen a HU yet, but it'll be an alpine.

Moreno93 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I'd throw some Jbl's in it. Might be a little over budget though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 $150 total for both sets? And even a small budget amp would really help them a lot. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

reedal Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Talked to him some more, he really doesn't want to put an amp in, so I convinced him to just go with coaxials all around to avoid the crossover eating up all of the HU power and not getting much out of the components themselves. But thanks though. Sorry for the short and sweet thread. Appreciate the suggestions.

aculous Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 that budget ain't gonna cut it. He would most likely not even see a improvement over stock. used maybe? I dunno I would just tell him to save up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedal Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Money is in no way his issue haha. He just doesn't give a shit about the speakers. Hence why it was so easy to convince him to drop the component idea. E-6 with 12 years in, plus his 6 year sea pay and BAH, he doesn't need to save any for speakers, just doesn't want to waste it on the truck being a daily SMD Tool Map https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/193176-smd-tool-map-new-november-2014/ Build log https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/197217-reeds-03-tahoe-hat-sqaq-singer-xs-shca-cockbox-80prs/?page=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he doesnt give a shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myst_erious Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I know this is a bit old.... but I'm on a super tight budget ATM, and I really want some decent mids/highs, at least for the front doors. I was looking at Rockford Fosgate R165X3... 6.5" and just running off the deck until I can get what I want. Amazon has them right now @ 37.22/pair shipped. I have a 2004 Trailblazer LS (Non-Bose Model). Just something up front that isn't stock, and could do measly watts until I get a 4 channel or whatever I can think of later. Seems like my ideas are always changing and I have a million ideas written down. I have a lot of health issues, so when I mean budget... it's like speakers or bills here, haha. Tough titty said the kitty when the milk went dry "Anchors aweigh! So what do you think of my little vessel? She's what we call a see-worthy. S-E-E, see with your eyes. I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality. Voila. And this, this is like my little window to the world, and every minute's a different show. Now I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it. But I'll tell you what, I accept it and just sort of glide along. You want to keep things on an even keel, I guess is what I'm saying. You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river. The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride does not require an explanation - just occupants. That's where you guys come in. It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the eight-pack, you may get the sixteen-pack, but it's all in what you do with the crayons, the colors, that you're given. And don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines. I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color right off the page. Don't box me in! We're in motion to the ocean. We are not land-locked, I'll tell you that. So where do you want out?" ~Waking Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
