Well since it looks like i'm keeping my CL might as well give it a little more sound. Can some of you CL drivers all there give me some recommendations to speakers and subwoofers thanks.

 

Here's what I am doing:

JL 2 Way Components 6.5 inch XR
JL Coaxials 6.5 inch XR
JL 8W7


All hooked up to my Pioneer Avic N1

 

For comps go with Boston Acoustic, Focal, Kicker or Diamond Audio. Actually, you have a lot of choices. You should narow it down to a price range first.

 

im replacing all my stockers with MB Quarts(highest rms i can find) and upgrading the amp to a soundstream or phoenix gold amp(closest rms to the speakers) to push em...

 

here's what I have

 

Check the signature..
If you have any questions, PM me

 

I really like mb quart a lot but which one is decent enough to buy? I heard the discuss was terrible. Also anyone got good deals on avic-n1?

 

^ only buy the MB Quartz Q-series, everything else is mediocre..

Avic-N1 is not as great of a buy as everyone seems to like it, too limited and too much complication for a navi+dvd, but a good deal since they go for cheap now

 

MB Quarts 6 and a half inch components for the fronts. You can get the same for the rears, or a 6 and a half inch two way or three way. And either one 12W7 from JL or 2 10W7. If cost is a problem, you can go with some of the cheaper JL's.
And definately look into getting good amps.

 

my system...the Focals make a slim series in their polyglass line, and they fit in our doors w/o even a spacer. so that makes instalation very easy and they rock with 100watts/ speaker RMS.

 

Depends on what you want to spend.....

For mids and Highs:
High $$$ = Focal
Mid $$$ = JL XR or XR

Subwoofer = JL W7 series for sure....my 1 10" sounded like 2 12"s!

 

no way your 1 10 didn't sound like my 1 12"

hahahaha

 

agree with everything

 

For components, Jl seems to have a great midbass but the clarity isnt the best. (its good but not the best. IMO, i would go with Boston Acoustics Components up front, then some mid-quality (to save money) on the rears. When I change my stereo out in the Cl I would want to concentrate on a better front sound staging.

 

in my old car i had infinity kappa components in the front and 3 way in the back....one kicker comp vr 12"...all speakers powered by sony explode amps...head unit alpine...

the speakers are very good for the price...
