shit happens

[nmemr2]

so at the car chow last friday i managed to burn out the voice coils in my front speakers.
its not that big a deal as they were shit and i was looking to upgrade them anyway.

so the question is, what do i get next? i want components to replace the coaxials i had and im looking for a lot of power and good to great sound quality. what are your reccomendations, price isnt too much af a factor as i dont want to compromise power and quality but obviously cheaper is better

I think rainbow do some for around the 14k mark, hey you said money was no object

[nmemr2]

i said money wasnt MUCH of an issue, im not going to spend twice what the car is worth on a set of speakers

[SIKTOY]

Alpine type X components. bloody good, but pretty expensive.

Or for less, some DD C6.2 $300 mark. Again bloody good & powerful but much cheaper.

Just my opinion of a few good sets.

Or for less, some DD C6.2 $300 mark. Again bloody good & powerful but much cheaper.

I would recomend those. I have a set and they sound wicked. Really good quality aswell.

Ask blackrazor to get you a pair.

when choosing, if you want a bolt in speaker, avoid overly wide magnets as they foul on the window runner, eg my alpine type s components with std spacer. depth is a bit of an issue, but not too bad. it is a bit of a mish to make spacers that fit in behind the trims, but it is possible.

You can buy off audio-apex or PM erkel on NZICEMAG who is the new zealand distributor for Digital Designs.

Eclipse
MB Quart
Boston
Infinity

These guys make some very good speakers! Price will depend on the exact model.

[nmemr2]

well after a bit more looking into it i have managed to get the list down to just 3 models i like.
rockford fosgate t162s
infinity kappa perfect 6.1
DD c6.2

all depending on the price the look and how easily i will be able to aquire them

[86_rolla]

i got some rockford t162, the coaxial ones they go alrite but no great, i like the kappas heard them in a mates car and they sounded mint

[wildchild]

what size u after

[blackie]

You can pick up infinity kappas for $250 at PI.. cant go wrong !! (except for the fact they are PI, not supporting local industry etc.. )

Im sure the perfects are quite a bit more expensive then the other 2 models you listed though

[nmemr2]

what size u after

6.5" components

[Alex B]

DD do a set of 6.5's for $299 and your supporting a TS member

He won't sell direct..........

You have to get them through a distributer.

[DeeCee]

Erkel is the distributor Muzz.. you meant to say retailer

[nmemr2]

dave rang up hotwire for me and got a price, think he talked to anton. anyway i just have to decide really what brand i want to use (i want the whole system the same) for everything and then i will be sorted

[Alex B]

Err having the whole system the same brand isnt the best idea as it limits your choices in alot of products, for example Rainbow dont make Headunits etc etc.

Any reason why you want to stick with one brand??
