Trepid Posted May 17, 2002 Posted May 17, 2002 well here it is, I am about to buy some 6x9's and I wanted to know if it was a good deal... Kenwood KFC-6908 79.00 and for my brother Pioneer Premier TS-E1395 SALE Price: $69.00 and that's for his jeep, his head unit can handle those but I am not sure about mine as it is the stock head unit
0verb00st Posted May 17, 2002 Posted May 17, 2002 yeah, those speakers will work well with your stock headunit. you dont want speakers with high power handling because they wont have a good bas response with only the HU power
Trepid Posted May 18, 2002 Author Posted May 18, 2002 yeah, I am going for a lot of highs, I have the two 12's in my trunk that overpower all sound so I want to get some louder speakers... also, what do you think about the prices?
XScarAudio Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 prices arent bad try pricegrabber.com also, if you have the 12's already, get a small amp(200w or so) for the highs, it makes all the difference in the sound
0verb00st Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 since you want better mids and highs, dont worry about the 6X9s yet. the front speakers are a lot more important then the rears. get a good 6.5" component set and power it with an amp. it'll sound much better.
0verb00st Posted May 18, 2002 Posted May 18, 2002 trepid, get these speakers for the front http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=1353584288 they'll sound amazing with an amp. my friend had them running off his blaupunkt headunit and they sounded pretty good too. but they really come alive with an amp.
SonicBurner Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 What do you guys think of this? I'm getting a Blaupunkt Austin CD/reciever for 179.99, and replacing my factories with a set of four Blaupunkt PCxt652 6 1/2 inch speakers. The cd player peaks at 50 watts per channel, and the peak on the speakers is 150 watts. The price was the same at pricegrabber as at the crutchfield website, so I'm thinking thats the best I'll get. Is that at least an ok deal? How do you think that setup would sound? the sites for these are: http://crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-iSTTTcVdf...00&I=023PCXT652 http://crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S-iSTTTcVdf...00&I=023AUSTIN+
0verb00st Posted May 23, 2002 Posted May 23, 2002 it'll be better then factory.... blaupunkt xt's dont have good bass. they're good for "fill in" midrange in a component system. but i think you might want to shop around a little for speakers. there are better speakers out there for the same price. that headunit is pretty good. blaupunkt's have a good clean sound quality.
SonicBurner Posted May 29, 2002 Posted May 29, 2002 Actually I did get them and they were alot better than I expected. The cd player can really put out alot of bass, and the speakers can handle it, although I wish I could get bigger ones. It hits almost as hard as like a couple of twelves, though.
Trepid Posted May 30, 2002 Author Posted May 30, 2002 well I got the 6x9's just because they were good speakers on sale, I didn't get those 6 1/2's because I don't have the money for a new amp and wiring in my car is a biatch... well anyhoo since installing the 6x9's I noticed that my radio does not pick up FM stations as well as it used to... Wondering if that is because the new speakers are drawing more power then my head unit is used too and it takes away from power to the antennae? oh and here are the speakers I got its soo nice to have mids and highs that I can hear
