Memphisman Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 i have a ford explorer and i am changing out all the door speakers, it has 6x8 mounts, i am wanting to know what would sound best 6 1/2'' speakers, 5 1/4'' or just the 6x8s i dont want component sets, and somewhat cheep, under 150 per pair... they will be run at about 65-100 watts rms, i am mostly looking for the speakers with the best sounding highs and best sounding mid bass, all low bass will be taken out and sent to the subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightshade Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 If your looking for a nice coaxial speaker check out the Infinity Kappa 6 1/2's. They come with their own outboard crossovers and sound really nice. They can be had online for $100 shipped all day long. Other than that my next reccomendation would be the Focal 165CA1 coaxial set. It's also a 6 1/2 and sounds very nice. I was considering each of those for my car, but went with the Kicker RS65.2 component set instead. It's a component, but can be mounted as a coaxial too. I also have a Ford with 6X8's for holes in the doors. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentb Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 i also have an explorer and i used some infinity reference 6 x 8 they sound decent but lacked midbass. right now i am using some phoenix gold rsd 6.5 comps and i really love it. awesome midbass response, and for $60 you can't go wrong. i made some ring out of 3/4 mdf as an adapter to the stock 6 x8's they also have a coax version but i haven't tried it though.

Neel Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 In theory the 6.5"s are supposed to sound better then the 6x8"s because of the cone being round.. but i mean i personally couldnt tell a major difference between the two... Too Much Stuff to list . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
