Hey guys,
I'm new here and after reading some posts I decided to join. I'm trying to put together an upgrade in my audio system. I love my Jeep especially with the windows out and the top down. The wind noise is significant but not at all bothersome (for me) as long as the tunes are good and loud. Can you please help me with suggestions on tweaking my system?
I'm happy with my sub and bass production. I'm looking to bring the mids and highs to a respectable level. Right now I have Pioneer 6.5 in the (roll bar) and Pioneer 4x6 (dash). These are bottom level Pioneers with no amp and distort at various hard/low mid tones. I can't here the 4x6 (dash) speakers at all unless I fade to the front for from (0).
Budget:
$300 for speakers (front and rear)
Amp for both (Money ???)
New head unit down the road.
I know this budget for the speakers is low, but I don't want to break the bank because Jeeps are easily broken into.
I was looking at these for the front: MTX Thunder Separates TX5001 http://www.mtx.com/caraudio/products/speakers/separates.cfm
or the Polk equivalent (db5251). http://www.polkaudio.com/caraudio/db/index.php?s=db651s#db5251
But what about the roll bar?
I can fit 5.25's or 6.5's(with slight mods). Do I double up on components or find a decent coxial for the roll bar. Also, do I run them all off one amp or two? Are there other brands in my price range that may be better or that i'm over looking?
I listen to hard rock, alternative, sirius octane, some top 40 (rap,pop,etc. when the wife and kids ride), but mostly hard rock. Linkin Park, Godsmack, Metallica, Rage, Chili Pepers, Sublime.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and any help/suggestions you may have
=) Mike |

MTX and polk both do not make very good speakers.
I second the CDT.
4x6s will never sound good.
One good set of 6.5" components will outperform multiple sets of other speakers, put the $300 on that one set and you can get some nice speakers. |
