Good mids & highs on stock electrical?

[Ben G.]

Hey i am wondering if any of you guys have some good ideas for speakers that would work great on just on a head units power. I Would possibly hook them to an amp later down the line, but can not afford speakers and an amp rite now. So my question is what brands and models of speakers do you guys recomend running on just a head unit? Thanks alot

I would say stick with stock until you can afford both speakers and amp. You don't want to buy speakers that work well with your factory HU just to have to buy speakers that work well with an amp later on. Either that or buy speakers you know will work well with an amp and use those from your factory HU.

since you will be getting an amp later wouldnt it be better to get some speakers that are best for an amp? they wont be as loud off the HU power now but later on you will be very happy with them.

for low power you want high efficiency, 92db+

Ok, thanks alot. Is it a MAJOR Difference between H.U. powering speakers and an amp? You can blow speakers easy if you don't know what your doing? Correct? I may just be happy with upgraded speakers running off a H.U. And the reason for the higher efficiency is so the speakers can utilize the little power they are receiving? Is that correct?

Any brand and model suggestions?

that is correct. its have many db the speaker produces off 1 watt.

it would be hard to blow any speaker off the hu because of the low power and its not as easy to send a clipped signal on accident. but in general it is harder to blow mids/highs because its easier to hear them distort so you know when your doing something wrong. just read up on how to set your gains and you will be fine when you get your amp.

my fav. brands for SQ are rainbow and image dynamics. boston acoustics are supposed to be great but ive never had them. the pioneer rev's sound good for the price if you want something cheaper.

x2 to be honest those reference series speakers sound damn good for not being amped. my buddy has them in his mazda 3 and they get loud and dont sound bad either.

Never heard of rainbow, I heard the older image dynamics components are nice. Yes i am looking to have great sound quality. I want to be able to hear my vocals over my bass. I don't want them to be over powering though. I heard JL's components are AMAZING!!!! Is this true? Where can i find info on the rainbow speakers?
