whats up guys. so recently i have come into about $500 for LEGAL service to a company on my campus. anyways i need new speakers for my 00 tl. i have a sub and a headunit thats enuf for me but when i blast the volume the speakers sound horrible. i need the front and rear set. any suggestions?!

 

get 6x9's for the back and components for the front. i recommend infinity's. get the good stuff and a four channel amp to power them

 

6 x 9 will take alot of custom work won't they? The rear doors are the same size as the front and the rear deck, if I am not mistaken, would take some cutting for 6 x 9 to work.

If you are sticking with headunit for power, I would look at something that is very effecient. Infinity's and Polk are just that. If you want to add an amp, look at components, if you can. I love Diamond but, there are tons of good ones. So much depends on what you want to spend. For $500, you could get a good 4 channel amp and a set of Diamond M661 components for the front. The rear speakers are not as important. Just a suggestion though. Find a local place and listen to as many as you can.

 

LOL... blahhhhhhhh... hahahahaha...

 

Now, now shawhite, play nice. 6 x 9 were all the rage back in the 80's. Jensen Triaxials baby, woohoo.

 

it was the combination of 6x9 and the fact that he said get the infiniti's get the good stuff.. lol.. like infinitis are top of the line.. last time i checked they were hardly mid level speakers..

 

You are soooo right. Infinities are just average nowadays. Definitely much better speakers out there for the same money.

 

i'm a fan of the " infinity sound ". i've had infinity speakers in my car for 14 years off and on. so anyway, you say there are much better speakers out there for the same money, can you tell me which ones so i can check them out?

 

polk db series

 

ok, i'm familiar with Polk Audio and agree they make a great speaker, in fact i used to have a pair of bookshelf speakers made by them. not sure who sells them around here though so i could go listen to them.

the db650 fits well into our TL's? doesn't look like there is a 6.5 db series speaker that is a 3-way like the Infinity Kappa 63.5i

test

 

those are nice, but i dont really want to have the component ones. plus i'd like to listen to them first before i would consider chosing the Polk's over the Infinity's, just given my preference. i looked on the Polk Audio website and they say that Circuit City and HiFi Buys are dealers, but both those places locally have less than satisfactory demo setups to say the least, so i may have to go over to ATL just to hear them...

 

the tweeter can be mounted in the middle of the polk or just off to the side. the polk sound great!

 

did we pass?

 

would u recomend those for the front and back or just the front? should i amp them or jus keep them by themslves?!

 

Fsttyms1,

Would these be good to use for both Front and Rear? Or just front?

Amp suggestions to run these?

 

You don't have to get components for the back.

Try these for the rear speakers if your going to go for polk DB's.

Since the sensitivity on these speakers is 92db, you won't need much amplifier power to make them get loud. Any decent 4 channel amp will do, whatever you can get the best deal on.

 

so the only response to my question is Polk's? i was hoping for a bit more than that....
