well i was planning to get car speakers for my car as soon as my financial situation is settled. so i decided to start looking around. does anyone have any suggestions?


i was planning to upgrade the stereo and speakers only and not buy an amp or sub.

 

amp your speakers bro

 

Mike I got you!

 

edzy will say otherwise, but unless you already have an aftermarket hu, then I would suggest getting one instead of speakers (unless yours are blown).
An aftermarket hu will make the most difference.
Look into clarion or alpine.
I have a clarion in my integra and you wouldn't believe the difference it made over the stock unit with only the stock speakers.

 

What is your budget?

If you plan on not amping your speakers, you need to get a set of speakers w/ the closest RMS and the RMS output of the headunit. Also, you should look for speakers that are close to 90 hz (i think) for the most efficiency.

 

18 watts

 

My budget on the speakers are like $100 =X 150 max. And I might think about getting an AMP since my friend's uncle has one laying around. And Des answer the PMs i sent ya!

couple bucks over budget.

 

What speakers are in the car now?
What HU is in the car now?
Is your Integra a hatch?

As has been mentioned, as long as the speakers are not blown and you still have a stock HU, replacing the stock HU with an aftermarket one will make a much bigger diff. the replacing the stock speakers, no matter how much you spend on speakers.

If you still have the stock, [dual cone] speaker in the car replacing them with a 2way speaker will increase high frequency response a little, [noticeably] but that's about it, if you still have the stock HU an aftermarket speaker may actually sound worse then the stock one because of a loss in efficiency of the speaker.

Whatever you decide to do the stock speaker is a "standard" 6.5" speaker with a mounting depth of 2", do not confuse it with an over-sized 6.5" speaker or custom work will be needed to fit the speaker.

Also, do yourself a big favor, buy from an authorized dealer, local retail or online vendor, save yourself a lot of grief and do not buy from unauthorized "resellers" like... http://www.woofersetc.com/page/shopwithus.htm it will only cost you if you have a problem. 94

 

i like RF,JL and pretty much anything from crutchfield, also headunits i like kenwood.

 

My teg came with components. I think it was only the rs that didn't have these.

 

No idea what speakers, I think they are stock.
I have a stock HU. Was planning on buying that too, any recommendations?
And yeah it's a coupe.

But yeah, I think speakers are blown, seeing when I turn the speakers up it gets kinda staticy.

 

If you turn them up real loud and they get staticky, but sound fine at lower volumes, then you are just pushing your hu too hard, which is easy to do with the stock unit.
You should replace the hu first and then the speakers afterward.
I have the stock speakers in my teg, with a clarion hu and it sounds kick ***.
You should look at clarion or alpine as far as hus go. Note that the older model clarions are much better than this year's models as far as single din goes.

 

I have a 94 LS hatch and it did not come with components, maybe it's a Canadian thing.


MiKeEH, get the HU first, Alpine or a Panasonic if you on a budget 94

 

i think only gsrs came with componets. my frinds ls didnt have them ether.

i love my alpine deck! and they arent to bad on the wallet.

 

Mines a gs and my brother's is an ls and we both have components. Maybe it was an option? I don't know...

 

maybe, i was thinking it also could depend on the year.

 

I recommend the PG RSD 65 components as well. the woofer has good midbass while the tweeters are not too bright and harsh. It just sounds good for the price you are paying. Caraudiomag.com had a possitive review on these too. a few weeks ago I installed these in a mazda 3 and they sounded really good that I purchased one set for my car.

 

scratch scratch

 

What Head Unit do you guys recommend for me to get? I decided I'd work on that first. I would like an Ipod Connector with it also!

 

Alpine, Panasonic, Kenwood, Pioneer in that order, you can't go wrong with an Alpine. 94

 

i agree.

 

Give me some bomb *** Alpine decks under 150 range with Ipod Aux!

Are Eclipse HU's not as good anymore? I don't see any recommendations here.
