i need a good set of component speakers i was looking at JL xr or c5 series just because i already have everything else JL but if you all have anything better for the price (these are $200 and $300 respectively)

 

Everyone has their own preferences and the easiest way to do this is to go find audio shops that have plenty of speakers to listen to and find the ones you like the sound of the best, even better would be to hear it at a meet in the actual application. I ended up with a set of Hertz HSK165's

 

I think you should buy my DLS Iridium 6.3i component set.

 

Alot of how the speakers sound are based on the mounting location.

I prefer Focals to most other brands, but that's just me... Bing likes Seas and DLS, others like DynAudio or Morel, it's all about personal taste.

But in all seriousness a $400 set of speakers is a $400 set of speakers, you probably won't be able to tell a difference in a blind study.

Most of the more expensive sets will need some processing to make them really sing.. but I am by no means an authority.

 

i have a jl 300/4 looking to run front and back stages

 

Forget rear fill. Just run your front stage active. By not spending money on rear speakers that should allow you to buy a much better set of components for the front. Rear speakers are useless in a 350Z.

 

Rear speakers are useless in alot of vehicles. I've been running components up front in my old tahoe for a while now and won't go another way with it.

 

i already have a set of alpine type x components but they are out of my old car and theres a small tear in 1 surround that i repaired (i think) i dont want to push them as hard as i would on my normal front stage

 

if you are going to shell out $300 for comps get pods or kicks

factory location will choke them

get comps with silk tweets

 

why silk?

 

I have a set of CDT Audio comps that retail for about 650 for sale in the classifieds and i only want 380 out of them and they are brand new in the box.... Take a look at them and let me know....
