Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1231 Registered: Oct-05 | hey, i only want 1 pair of components for the front doors and i dont want to buy an amp to power them. i am not going to be powering my 2 rear coaxial speakers in the back, i am going to take them out... can i use my HU : http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14769 to power just one pair of components that would sound nice tweeter wise (i already have 2 subs)??? because i dont have the money to buy an amp to power them... or amp i better off buying a pair of coaxials? thanks!! |

Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 797 Registered: Jan-06 | I would buy a pair of coaxials instead. If you don't have the money for another amp buying the components will be a waste. Not enough power for them at all. The HU will only put out about 18rms and components don't have as high as sensitivity as coax's do. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3831 Registered: Feb-05 | bassman3, I highly suggest any Infinity Referance series or Alpine Type S coaxials. Very good for the money and excellant of HU power. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3835 Registered: Feb-05 | Forget the kappa's. They are to bright and will annoy you. The referance series are a great value and they sound clean. If you are not going to get a amp to drive your speakers then i suggest infinity referance or Alpine type S off HU power. If you plan to use a amp then use Alpine Type R or Infinity Referance again. IF you want to try somthing more expensive and exotic. You can't go wrong with CDT coaxials. |

Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 803 Registered: Jan-06 | CDT Coaxials are good but on backorder from CDT right now well CL series. EF's series is good but due to shallow mount lack some of the midbass. The CL's should be in around mid June. As for another good set, I prefer the MTX TDX coax as they have a better mid to high end sound. The Alpine Type S are good in the mids but very dull on the highs. It would come down to what you like. The CDT's are very good on the mids and highs, and are strong on the mids. I would never go with Infnity cause I've never liked them. If you do decide to get an amp, go with components than. |

|
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 810 Registered: Jan-06 | yeah, overall the CDT have a better sound combining good mids and highs with midbass. But if you buy only store brands MTX's and Boston are good store brands. |

Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1286 Registered: Oct-05 | should i go with the CDT CL series? or EF? in ur opinion |
|
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 812 Registered: Jan-06 | CL has more mid but EF Neo's are shallow and easy to install and nice high mid section and highs. |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1299 Registered: Oct-05 | would the EF's be good to run off HU. To power front and back? |
|
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, Or U.S. Post Number: 1321 Registered: Oct-05 | BUMP. alteraudio or jonathan |
|
Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 824 Registered: Jan-06 | they would do well either way. They are efficient so they can do with the power the HU gives but could do quite well with a solid 50rms also. |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 3846 Registered: Feb-05 | I use these as rearfill in my car off the HU power and it works out great for those that sit in the back. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3365 |
