dsw422 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 hey guys.. looking to start making doors for my vehicle.. dont have the money right now to dish out the $$$ for great mids and highs.. so i was wondering if the speakers listed below would be a good idea till i have the $$$ to get better.. thinking of doing 4 or 5 of each in each door.. http://www.parts-express.com/6-1-2-poly-cone-midbass-woofer-4-ohm--299-609 http://www.parts-express.com/pyramid-tw44-heavy-duty-titanium-super-tweeter--270-125 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REH Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 You would DEFINITELY be better off taking the $50+ shipping you'd spend on 5 of those for each door, stash it away and add to it as you can until you can afford something better. If you're strapped on cash, there's no reason to waste the money that you do have that could be used towards what you actually want instead of something you're going to be unhappy with. Sonic has plenty of low cost options you could use one or two in each door that would be out perform 5 of those in each door. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/cat_i54_midbass-midrange-drivers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REH Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 They are $5 drivers brand new.... You could take that $60 and buy a pair of decent quality speakers that would perform better and last longer. But clearly you're just wanting the "wow" factor of having a door with five 6.5" in it despite the sound or performance and are going to do whatever you want, and it's your money and your option to do so. But if you're set in stone on doing it, why even come in here and ask for opinions on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like everyone knows, more cone area= more output on same power.. at least I'm assuming that works the same as miss and highs.. I'm more of a bass guy.. lol.. Anyway.. I'm not definitely going to buy, but I'm really considering it.. lol.. I'm waiting for the guy to reply to my pm.. that'll base my decision.. 2014 Ford Focus SE Sedan Factory Sony 10 Speaker Sound System 1994 Ford Bronco Dual head unit (i kno) Sony door speakers Kenwood Rear Speakers Custom Center console in the works. will house an NVX NSW10" https://m.facebook.com/WinnsCustomCarAudio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Than what he has linked? Is that a serious question? Yep... For the same price as 5 of what he has linked in each door, I would say that any of these as a single per door would be a much better option for quality. Are they the best you're going to get? No. Would they be leaps and bounds ahead of those? Yes...
