Gq85 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) This will be my first time getting a pair of component speakers. I'm looking at getting a decent pair of 6 1/2 speakers. With a price range of $300. I'm just clueless when it comes to mids and highs. I'm basically looking for recommendations on what to get. Thinking of powering them with a RF T400-4. I was currently looking at Infinity Kappa's---are they any good?. Just looking for some input. Edited March 9, 2007 by GQ_85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAGGEDBIRDS.com Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 i like MB Quart. get the best line you can afford. With that you could probably do the Premium line if you shop. My reference line componets were $120 on ebay Quote 1st SMD "System of the Month" Feb. 2007 Zapco Studio 500 (2) Zapco Studio 300X Zapco Studio 204 (2) (2) FI 12ssd's w/ copper coils DLS Iridium Tweeters DLS UR2.5 MidRange FI.

LSN2meBoom916 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 My choices, in order, based on personal exp: MB Quart, Infinity Kappa, Alpine TypeR, Fosgate (I have run FNP and FNX both sounded great for the $$) I would throw Focal in there but I've never tried em and on the MB quarts I must emphasize importance of a HIGHER end x over like the musicomps. Love mine.

Gq85 Posted March 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Thankx for the replies. Now that I've got some recommendations I feel better choosing a pair since I've only heard two brands of speakers which were coax(Pioneer, RF) that helps alot. Hopefully I get to stop at my local dealer sometime this week.(Will be getting paid this week not to mention I'm still waiting on my tax money ). I really like RF but took them out of consideration because I was running some coax but wasn't really satisfied much with the mid bass I was getting of-of them. I was really leaning toward the Infinity Kappas but it's looking like I might not go with them. The cars interior is all black w/ some red the Kappa tweets I was looking at are silver that's really going to throw off the interior. It's looking like I'll be choosing between the Mb Quart Premium, Alpine Type-R, and I'm throwing RF back into consideration. If I remember correctly Meade installed some on his Honda right?. Anyone know how he liked them?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gq85 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ended up going with the Alpine Type-R's. Got them installed this past weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineGuy87 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I am buying a pair of Alpine Type Rs. how do they sound? I dont have mine yet. Quote 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gq85 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I personally like how the highs sound, but I'm not getting much from the mids though. But I can't quite judge them yet since they are beign powered by the stock H/U and they ain't getting the power they need. Not to mention I don't have much control(EQ) to tune them to my taste. The H/U(Alpine CDA-9885) which will replace the stock H/U just arrived today so that will be this weekends' project. Looking to get either a T400-4 or T600-4 amp to power the mids and highs I'll let you know how they sound once I've got them getting more power with the amp and new H/U.
