Hey guys I just put in my system an I don't like my 6 1/2 inch speakers. I currently have Cerwin Vega HED-162 all around. The front are powered by my Apline 7894 and the rears are powered by a Punch 100a2. Is this enough power for them?

What are other speakers I can get that will be clearer when I crank it up?

 

boston acoustic

 

you should power the front speakers with the amp, and the rear off the head unit, that should help some as well.

 

wait, y would u not power all the speakers from an amp? head units scuk for powering speakers, onnly around 20watts rms.

 

the RF 100a2 is a 2 channel amp i believe....

 

Yeah but that amp should handle 2 ohms just fine. I have some OOOOOOLD CV components in my car. What's the specs on yours? Comp or axial, etc?

 

Well first off i want to tell you that you should be running your Punch 100a2 to your front speakers, because rear fill is not as important as the music going straight to your ears in the front. If you want to get new speakers for your car, i would recommend going either JL Audio or Boston Acoustics. I dont really know alot of about the BA but my friend is an installer and he tells me that they sound phenominal. I have JL Audip speakers in my car and they kick ***, especially when you have them playing loud, thats where they excel. Go to http://www.woofersetc.com, you can find great prices on JL Audio speakers there. I suggest go either TR or VR series speakers, unless you have enough money to go with my much so beloved XR series speakers. I have the TR speakers because i had a tight budget at the time, and i have them running off of my head unit and they sound awesome! I just think to myself that it would be awesome if they were running off of an amp. Well thats my .02 man. Use it to make your decision. Let us know what you decide to do!

 

first off if a 100.2 is ran at 2 ohms they sound like *** IMO, and i have been around them a lot. 2nd the hed 162's are coaxials. they are just cerwin veags entry level speakers and are not that good. granted they are better than a jensen, or a pioneer tsg speaker.
what do you expect your speakers to do? push out a lot of bass? it would probably help if you coupled them with a subwoofer. I would take that 100.2 off the rear mids and buy a sub and use the 100 to power that. that should sound better to you.
the biggest complaint about cerwin vega speakers is the fact that they distort the signal by over amplifying treble and under amplifying mids.

 

The rest of my system is as follows: Alpine 7894 head unit and a Kicker Solobaric S10l& powered by a old style Punch 500.

I will try switching the amp to the front speakers and see. If not I may just go ahead and pick up some MB Quart components. What do you guys think about that?

 

the best idea would be to get the MB quarts for up front and run the amp to them....the front speakers are really the most important.

 

infinity kappa componets in the front and kappa in the rear.

 

Even the Infinity Reference series 652i sounds real nice. Puts out excellent mid bass and good highs.
