Can anyone recommend a good solid set of door speakers? When I go on crutchfield I see alot that fit in the real well but I want a good component set for the front. I have been looking at Polk audio and emailed them asking about their speakers for my 05 350z and got an email back recommending the mm6501 or db6501 for the front. I dont want to do alot of modding to make them fit so any help on a good set would be great. Also should I bother even replacin gthe back speakers or just replace the doors save the money on the backs and put it towards an amp and a sub?

 

I ran the MM6501 in my last car (VW Passat) and I thought they sounded great. Speakers (especially tweeters) are a personal thing, I (for example) hate the sound of harsh metal domes and thus only run soft domes. I've got Infinity's Referrence series in my truck and they are good too, but I like the Polks better.

 

I've got the Polk Audio DB651S that I too got from Crutchfield. I think they sound great considering they're only 6 in speakers...but I also didn't expect a lot of bass response, etc from them. They are basically fill speakers. Bottomline: I'd buy them again if choosing a speaker. Hope it helps. By the way, if you get them from Crutch, you'll get the adapters with them that make installing them a breeze.

 

Nick,

Do a search in this sub-forum. You will get tons of info about componenet speakers for the doors and rear speaker replacement.

Thanks for all the responses guys still trying to get used to the forums.

 

need to establish a budget. components can run from $100-1200. For 6 years I ran Focal 165 K2Ps. Doesn't get much better. After I blew one (accident) I replaced them with Hertz Millie 165s. Again, sound great. Before I had focals, I had Infiniti components, I thought they sounded good until I heard the Focals.

 

I will be using MB Quart ONX216 they have a widesphere dome tweeter frequency response is 40hz to 32000kHz they are like 80 bucks

 

JL TR 650
I just installed and am very happy with them.

 

Not sure if you've bought your speakers yet but I just installed a set of JBL MS-62C components this weekend and I am totally blown away by them! There is a lengthy review on DIYmobilecaraudio.com that turned me on to them

Fitment was perfect with a set of 1" MDF spacers. ( took a few photos will trybto post up a thread ifvi get time)

I have had many coax and component speaker sets over the years (pioneer and infinity mostly) and these really live up to the reviews I've read

Incredible bass for a 6 3/4 speaker. Tweets are clear and defined blend well no harshness like I've experienced with other components

Also got a killer deal on them at sonixelectronics $179 shipped!

 

There's someone in the market place selling a nice set of door speakers bnib. Can't really go wrong with JBL, JL, Alpine, Polk, etc.

 

Focal PS165's
