currently i have a

pioneer DEH-P5200
Lanzar 2 10" subs
MTX 425 watts amp
Lanzar equalizer

i was thinking of where to go from here? any suggestions is appreciated

 

speakers! they make a big difference i suggest cerwin-vegas

 

Go with mbquarts or memphis if ya got the money. Otherwise cerwin vegas have real nice highs.

 

do you suggest them for the front and rear?
what size are they for both
and also should i change the tweeters?
would i need an amp for the 4 speakers?
man so many questions but thanks

 

If you have the money, go for all 4 as you will hear a big difference. I would suggest getting either diamond audio hex or m5 6" components for hte front (which come with a tweeter so you can replace the stock ones) and 6.5" cerwin vegas/mbquats/memphis for the back. If you get teh Diamond Audios, I would get a 100w x 2 amp to power them. That is the most expensive option. If you would rather not get an amp, 4 memphis 6.5" co-ax's would be my next choice. I believe they run for about 300 for a pair (maybe for all 4, I can't remember). MBquarts would be a good choice too and if money is an issue, cerwin vegas would still sound good.

BTW, I am assuming your speakers are all 6.5" as most Integras and Civics are.

mmm i can get these brands at a hook up price

pioneer
JVC
lanzar
crystal

what kinda speakers out of these brands are good for my car?
and also what amp from these are good too

thanks

 

Pio TS1665... I have 4 of them and I love them. If you can get hooked up for them, you will save a lot of cash as they are not all that expensive to begin with (but they are really quite good)

 

how about crystal? i hear good things about them
thanks texteg for helping me out =P

 

Hey, no problem. I have never personally heard crystal audio in person, but I have never heard anything bad about them either. Looking at their specs, they seems to be pretty comparable to the pioneers (on board crossover is nice). I noticed http://www.sounddomain.com has them on sale for $55 bucks which seems to be a steal. But honestly, I really can't say much about Crystal. All I know is that I love my pioneers .

 

are there any other good website with reviews and prices of speaker or amps i can take a look at?

 

http://www.crutchfield.com http://www.competitionsound.com http://www.sounddomain.com http://www.ikesound.com

Crutchfield has good reviews and a excellent customer service... They are prices are steep. Buy from one of hte latter 3 as they have very cheap prices.

 

what's the diff between regular speakers and component speakers?

 

i would get new speakers front and back and a 2nd amp to power them (im assuming your amp rite now powers your subs..).. I would look into Focals, MB Quart, Infinity Kappa perfect or Boston Pros... component speakers have a crossover and also allow you to place the tweeter elsewhere/higher up than where the speaker/woofer is for better imaging/sound... regular speakers typically have the woofer and tweeter on top/integrated into one unit..

 

im actually going with the diamond audio M5 with the amp i have right now
with pioneer/crystal in the rear
and getting a new amp for my subs

thanks to texteg

 

Good luck to ya, let us know how it goes.

 

Component sets generally have a more crisp sound too them and handle a little more power, give a higher volume sound. They are more pricey but worth the money IMO. Go with Memphis. I have used them quite a bit and LOVE them. Most of the local shops around here swear by them.
