Best speakers

[1990HybridCB7]

Anybody got any ideas on some good pioneer's? I just want something that will be able to handle some bass and will be alittle underpowered without an amp so I wont have to worry about blowing them.

He's on a budget, hence the reasoning for looking for "budget" speakers. Alpine is pretty good, but Pioneer's sound just as good IMO. I've heard a system of all Type R Alpine before, it didn't really impress me with the performance vs. price. There's just as good performing/sounding stuff to be had for less.

So I know that sony's stuff sucks from what your telling me. But how bout thiier HU's, are hey any good cause thats what came with the car when my brother passed it down.

almost all the headunits that have come from sony lately,they have a decent percentage of problems with the motorized face motors,other than that IMO if sony has to make 15+ versions of a ps2 to read a disc they cant be trusted with audio either.Sony and mtx are turning into the halfstep up from stock or audiovox,lol

I got 6 1/2 Infinity's all around, love em. And about this budget, if you waited for a little more cash you would be happy in the end with better speakers.

pioneer brand mid / hi's rock. even better when you get 4 year plan at best buy. blow them and get a new pair free.

depends on what you are looking for...if you have a sub or subs, then you will prolly want some good 3-ways or 4-ways to try and boost the volume of your highs as much as possible. if you dont have subs, though, you might look into getting some 2-ways in the back, and some 3-ways up front. either way, you need to get a small 4ch amp to power them..something like 50wRMSx4
then just get some like 50-70wRMS pioneer speakers. trust me, you will be completely satisfied, and they will sound great inside and out of the vehicle, and they will have the volume if you ever want to use your car a soundstage to listen to some music at like a tailgate party or something

Really depends on your personal preference.

Man, i dont want to be hated, but some peoepl say sony xplodes are good.. i personally think sony makes some not great speakers and subs.. they might make some ok head unit sbut speakers no way.
If you are looking into getting speakers there is no doubt about it.. ask anyone.. you are going to want to look into component speakers. The reason being they have an external crossover and that really really helps with sound quailty. what coaxials have are just a resistor(only on the tweeters) and they dont really clean out all the frequencies that well and it doesn't sound as great.. so definately no matter what look into buying component speakers.

now as for brands of speakers, that comes to preference i guess.. but boston acoustics makes some deadly high end speaker.. someone had pro 60's all around earlier in the posts I think , and i agree they are awesome.. but definately if you got cash go to thier z series... oh my god awesome. Some other brands are Diamond Audio, Focal, really high end infinity's are decent, mb quart is awesome.. there are a few more, can't think of them all. But ya definately go for the component set, and forget coaxials. But i guess i should say this too... when your buying speakers, its not really the speakers, but more the quality of the crossovers that they come with. The reason some speakers are way more expensive and might have worse power handling and some worse numbers, its becasue they have the deadliest crossover and so they sound really really clean.(although the speakers themselves do have a factor in it too but I was trying to emphasize the importance of the crossover )..
Also you defiantely want to use an amp for your speakers if you can. Running the speakers off your head unit is not that great of power and sound quality. it also puts more strain on your head unit and if you want her to last a long long time.. just get an amp. the money you put into an amp will definately pay for itself in sound quality. haha to be hoenst there is so much to car audio speakers that you really need to liek read some books and info on it, and then pick speakers.. it will REALLY help you out.
If someone wants to correct me go ahead.. i know a bit but not everything but i think what i just said was pretty correct

you just forget that you can XO coaxs as well as you can XO comps..what you said about the importance of XO's was valid, to a point..components have a solid cone...for the best SQ possible. the solid cone, sans obstructive tweeter, will allow cleaner sound waves to come from the cone, enhancing SQ

and fully agreed on the amp part..i would even say that a good set of amped coaxs will sound better than comps run off a HU or an underpowered amp..

You should go with Infinity, i have infinity all around my car with a small amp hooked up to them and the sound is excellent crisp clear and bass is bangin!!! my brother says it sounds better than his bose stereo system thats in his maxima!!!
