Choosing best speakers and amp
|
New member Username: PhergusAtl, Ga Post Number: 1 Registered: Sep-05 | I am looking to get 6.5 component speakers and then 6x9s for the back of my 1998 Honda Accord. I recently installed a Alpine CDA-9884, I think, head unit. It really made the stock speakers sound better but I want to do it right. I have been looking at the Infinity Perfect series and also the fosgate power series. My problem is finding good 6x9s. So my question is what speaker system would you run and what amp would you push em with. the RF Power amp costs 500 so I dont see doin that. thanks -greg |

The infinity Perfect series are nice speakers too. For an amp, it depends on how much money you want to spend; like everyone around here says, you get what you pay for. Your gunna need to power 4 speakers so you could use two 2 channels or one 4 channel amp. You might be able to find good prices on ebay for amps in your price range. |

Bronze Member Username: TdisantoPost Number: 22 Registered: Sep-05 | Well if your going to do it right, then you should have some sub(s) for the low end anyways, this would only leave midbass for the 6.5s, which is what they are built for really. If your going for just all speakers and no subs, I think the 6.5s will do just fine bass wise if they are amped. Hope that helps |

I don't know what you like in aesthetics, so any decent brand of amp that's around 100x2 @ 4 ohms, class AB (full range), and has a high pass filter built in to block bass from your comps, and you're in good shape. |
