Quality Splits.

[KezR33]

Hey guys,

Its my birthday soon and my girlfriend has offered to replace my dying front speakers. I'm basically looking for high quality 6.5" speakers with seperate tweaters to put in the front of my Supra. I plan on sound deadening the two doors at the same time, but I'll be running the stock rears and no sub.

Any recommendations as to what I should look for? Going to do a bit of research tonight, but I need to decide tomorrow morning, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

No more than $1000 for the amp and splits, but I'd rather spend less if I can get away with it.

amplified ? or deck power?

Either.

location ? are you installing or pro ?

I'll install it, just going in the front doors.

music you listen too most often ? how loud ? blasting or sane levels ?

Sane with the occasional blast, trance/dance mostly.

what year supra ?

1994.

Sorry, I quickly realised doing my own research all this matters too.

Cheers.

JZA80 - speakers are 4" in the doors of that car. its going to be fun to neatly put anything in there.

What ever you do don't go buying without first listening to these...

Soundstream RF-60C Reference 6.5" Component speaker

http://www.ryda.com.au/Soundstream-RF-60C-...nts-p/rf60c.htm

I have a set of these and a set of Focal 165K2Ps except I bought when they where first released and mind you ryda weren't selling em at the time for $1100

originally had focals in the front and when my stock rears went I thought I'd upgrade but the clarity of these were far more superior than the focals just so crisp clear and beautiful sound as well as a solid mid range bass handling I had to relocate the focal to the rear and put these up front.. And they are both running off the same 4 channel amp so power delivery is the same also crank full ball all day these all day with my twin 12" Fusion Jonah Lomus hooked to twin 1250wrms monoblocks to power them an it sounds pure porn... and they don't get drowned out they go all the way and you can hear the crispness even when you body is shaking from the bass nor do they get tired.

Anyways enough ranting good luck with the search...

Damn those are some serious speakers. 180 RMS? You'd need some a serious amp to power them.

Thanks though, I will look into them.

Splits i would recommend hertz HKS 165s. Well worth the money and sound great. The tweeters are not harsh at all!!

[HEKT1K]

whatever you buy mate, get shitloads of sound deadening into it.. i have dynamat on inner and outer skins and i still get the odd rattle/vibration

fwiw i'm running Focal 165 V1, and loving them

[Carbon 34]

well your options would be huge in that price range, take a disk you listen to often and demo it in a few stores

but use similar power as you would in the car. and no sub

you need to seal off that door skin with dynomat or similar.

paint that MDF panel so it doesn't swell up if damp, 3 buck black paint is better then nothing

speakers like focal, audison, morel, rainbow etc. all need a decent seal, some even need a backing sealed chamber to keep from selfdestructing due to the magnet construction/venting. they sound great but lots more work to install properly

amps, well you can buy a decent mix for 200 bucks and up, don't overlook jaycar either. clearance items for 199 now

chris rodgers off here can hook you up with both items in a few brands I'm sure and you can trust his after sale support. he comes from the old school know how.

so best bet give him a bell and chat,then listen to his suggested models. if he can't help you then listen to a lot of speakers with your demo disk, not the stores SQ disk

pm me if you get stuck

Cheers

Not the current MB Quart. The old company now trades under German Maestro; the current MB Quart are some shite ones

[CHO50N]

Boston Acustic SL60's cant beat them for the money

[Ripp3r]

Orion and option audio splits are pretty good if you buy at the $800 mark
