parello9 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Basically got my sound system ready to fit but just got to get the last piece of the puzzel Got the usual stuff pioneer Sub JBL 4 channel amp infinity components rear speakers Pioneer x2500BT (still got to buy) Now the question is what front speakers would be best for quality at loudness as i hate crackling speakers!, of course they will be hooked up to my amp too jbl http://caraudiosecurity.com/gto6508c-2-way-16-5cm-components jbl 2 http://caraudiosecurity.com/gto608c-2-way-16-5cm-components hertz http://caraudiosecurity.com/dsk165-2-way-16-5cm-components jbl 3 http://caraudiosecurity.com/p6560c-2-way-16-5cm-components Im thinking more the JBL 3, but would like to see what you guys say? also if anyone else recommends something feel free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I would go for the Hertz for clarity, I am sure the JBLs are just as good though. To be honest though if you are going to all the trouble of amping them etc I would look at slightly better quality front speakers.... but thats just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 What SMD said. I've not heard a crackle with my hertz combo with avh-x2500 BT. In fact, I find I'm hearing less and less of everything these days when they've been cranked up to 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Well if you're asking I don't hate my Hertz amp either http://www.pasmag.com/car-audio/reports/2216-test-reporthertz-hdp5-amplifier- or the front Hertz components http://caraudionow.com/hertz-hsk-165-6-5-component-car-speaker-review/ or the rear Hertz coaxials http://caraudionow.com/best-6-5-coaxial-car-speakers/ It's very probably not the loudest, but I find it is an improvement over the Bose in terms of detail. I'd probably put some dynamat on your shopping list too, my rear section does like to vibrate at volume, even with it in.

OV53 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I've never been a fan of mixing makes of speakers for your highs and mids. If you just want an upgrade from standard then I guess they'll be fine but if you're serious about getting a decent sound then I would forget about the Hertz and JBLs. If you've got Infinity components then go for Infinity. Just a quick question though, if you've got Infinity components then why do you need some more components?

parello9 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 i had them in my previous car so thought i may aswell use them for rear then buy new fronts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ah right, well give them a go but I reckon you'll rip them out pretty sharpish. What type of music are you listening to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Yeah I would go for matched comps & coax but maybe set the bar a bit higher thats all, the ones linked in the first post are only just above budget ones really.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 To be fair you won't need to get anything else if you have a good set of components and a decent sub. I won my first EMMA competition with a set of Focal Access components and a Hertz HX250 sub powered by a Rainbow 4.300 amp. Considering I was up against 2 cars that were full of speakers it just goes to show that quality always beats quantity. So if you are thinking of spending some money then I would say just get some better components than the Infinitys and sell them. Hertz are decent, Rainbow are also fantastic, Focal do some pretty reasonable stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OV53 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 What is your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parello9 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 well i was just looking really then thought the jbl's would be good enough for the price.. the infinitys in the rear wont even be on the amp just HU, as i just want them with a hint of sound as i prefer it not blown in my ear from the back The front speakers and sub will only be powered by the amp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I had speakers in the back of my ST and when I did the install I just disconnected them. If you are connecting your Infinities to your head unit then they will affect your sound quality up at high volumes. The 50w channels just aren't powerful enough to give you clarity all the way through the volume range. You are best off with just one set of components through and your sub through the amp. Otherwise you will end up with one half of your highs and mids being clear and the other half being distorted when you crank the volume up. If you let me know what kind of money you want to spend and what music you listen to the most I can advise you best on what speakers to go for.

inspiral Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 jbl 3 http://caraudiosecur...-5cm-components I've just bought these JBL Power Series components for the front of mine to go with a Genesis Profile 4 amp. I'll be installing in the next few weeks so I'll let you know how they sound. I'm aiming for SQ rather than SPL but don't want to spend a fortune....though it's not looking good on the latter front. ie. head harness, facia, quality amp cables, rca cables, damping mats, glove box sub box, head, blah blah. Fun doing it though :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Save some money and stick with the stock rears. I went for a full JL system and it sounded great, the 10w6v2 subwoofer redefined bass for me as its pure quality and kicks hard when needed.
