I never understood the point of amplifying speakers until i did it in 2018. What a difference. If you buy a sweet set speakers (and they're 50W RMS each) and hook them directly to the head unit, you are not only leaving performance on the table but you also probably won't feel impressed. Gotta buy a 2- or 4-channel amp to send them 50W instead of the 18W the head unit provides!

In my 20s I preferred the sound of a silk dome.tweeter (Boston Acoustics were my favorite), as metal tweeters sounded too harsh. Now in my 50s, my aging ears prefer the sound of a metal dome tweeter (Currently using Alpine).

A lot of good information. One thing that frustrates me, my doors have 6x9s and Crutchfield does not display a single one on their compatibility tool. For three years. I thought perhaps everything they have is deeper with a larger magnet or something like that. After searching forums for my vehicle many, many users have purchased 6 x 9s (many of those speakers from Crutchfield themselves) and everything drops in perfectly and sounds nice.

Crutchfield will tell you that certain speakers won’t fit your vehicle if they don’t carry the adapter ring. For instance, crutchfield said hardly any 6.5” speakers would fit the rear doors on my 4runner. I found an adapter ring somewhere else which gave me many more options for speakers. That being said, I still buy some things from crutchfield. Just be aware that you should do more research if crutchfield says something won’t fit/easily mount and it seems like it should.

@johncortez1599 2 жыл бұрын

@drm9979 2 жыл бұрын

I think it is more that Crutchfield only says something fits if it fits with no modifications or adaptors whatsoever. Even if they carry the adaptor their automated tool will say a speaker does not fit. They do this for the obvious reasons. I know in my car none of the speakers I have "fit" on the Crutchfield site, yet they all fit with easy adaptors or adjustments. I agree with your main point, many things fit whether Crutchfield says they do or not, just that I understand why crutchfield feels they have to do that. and yes, I like Crutchfield, they have good prices and are fair and honest.

The bad thing about the sensitivity (dB) spec is some manufacturers don’t say which way they tested for it. Some use the 1W/1M (one watt at one meter distance) method, while some others use the 2.83v input (2.83v into a 4 ohm speaker produces 2 watts). 2.83v doubles the power, which adds 3dB to the spec they’re trying to measure. So that is misleading if they only give the dB number without saying which standard they tested it under.

Hey mark, I got a question.... My truck comes factory with 4 speakers(2)1" tweeters, (2) 6.5" speakers). Crutchfeild recommended Rockford R165s components which has an acceptable power/sensitivity range within my likings. I have a single DVC 4ohm Alpine type R SWR1234d wired to bridge for 8ohms, sony xva64bt Power Output: 17 Watts RMS 4 Ohms < 1% THD+N SN Ratio: 80 dBA (reference: 1 Watt into 4 Ohms)Outputs: Speaker outputs Speaker impedance: 4 - 8 ohms Maximum power output: 52 W × 4 (at 4 ohms) , I understand the tweeters have built in crossovers, would I still need to connect them to the speaker or can I hook them up to factory tweeter wires? Would the speaker have to much highs where maybe I should look at mid range speakers? My logic could be wrong but should I look for speakers and tweeter that are within 60wRMS/100wMAX currently I think 90ish DB seems comfortable to me. This is all confusing. Thank you and appreciate the help, knowledge and support you could throw my way.

I really think the most important part of all of this is CLEAN POWER. If you buy something like a $150 jensen/boss/chinamart head unit even the best speakers will be junk. If you want the best sound, get a cheap lower wattage amp and power the speakers from that. This will even make junk paper speakers sound 25-40% better/clearer. You'd be surprised how amazing cheap speakers sound with clean amp power.

I'm looking to replace my 2019 Fusion's Sony front door speakers as one of them is blown. I'm looking at a set of Infinity Reference 6.5" components but I really would prefer not to go the route of replacing the factory amp right now. With 93db sensitivity and 90 watts RMS, I think they would work well, at least I'm hoping so.

@RAW_Reality 2 жыл бұрын

I'm assuming you're referring to the Reference 6532iX model, but with a sensitivity of 93db, they should be plenty bright and crisp, but don't expect them to "wow" you with how they sound until you're pushing them with closer to their RMS rating than you will be from a stock headunit... Brand name aside, there's a downpour of negative reviews on sites like Amazon on otherwise great speakers' pages from people who don't understand that concept because they've underpowered them and inherently whined about "their lack of performance". Don't be that guy. 😅 But yeah, you'll likely enjoy the Infinity's product... I loved my Kappa 62iX's!

I have a Mercedes Metris cargo van, and in my opinion the factory speakers sound awesome. Absolutely no need for a sound upgrade, but.... one side is already rattling (torn paper I assume) and there are times when I'd like a little but more volume (but I can live with what I have). After doing considerable research, it seems that virtually any aftermarket option, including component speakers and better brand speakers, all have the same issue: weak bass. The factory speakers have a tiny little magnet and you're think they would sound as crappy as they look, but they really do have awesome bass using the factory head unit, which I don't want to replace. Yesterday I destroyed my one good speaker and installed a Pioneer TS-G1620F on one side and when I compare with the factory speaker, it's not even a close contest: the factory speaker sounds MUCH better, even though it's damaged. So am I stuck replacing with factory speakers? I don't want to waste money on good speakers only to get less sound.

Another option for “some” people and “some” vehicles. Have a audio installer build speaker cabinets from MDF board for your car speakers. This gives you a lot more options for types and sizes of speakers you want. Makes for easier install options. For instance if you have a older work car for your commute, put the speaker cabinets in the back seat. Years ago some people put home speakers in the back seat hooked up to the head unit. I had 10 inch woofer and tweeter home speakers in my work car. Worked great for me, I was rocking them..👍😎

@caseyalexander2244 6 ай бұрын

My personal philosophy is, if you have a stock head unit and just want more clarity and crispness or to bring your sound to life, start with replacing or adding good quality tweeters. Aftermarket performance speakers with stock radio power is almost never an upgrade. I’m all about keeping a factory radio and adding a 4-channel amplifier for speakers that are at or just below the RMS rating of an amplifier per channel. On the other hand, an aftermarket radio powering stock speakers usually rocks. This is because the factory speakers are made to do every job with low power. I’d rather overpower speakers than the opposite. If you aren’t looking for more power with a factory radio you can find cheap aftermarket speakers online that are made to replace the factory ones with the same low power rating, except better cones and surrounds to last longer.

Do I need to run all 5 speakers to an amplifier along with my sub? or do I only need the amplifier for the sub?

@Technotranceism Жыл бұрын

You might get away with only a single amplifier powering the sub, but it also depends how efficient the tweeters and 6 inch speakers are. 2 major factors come into play. 1 is that the majority of receivers don't have a lot of power output, so the tweeters and 6 inch speakers will not be receiving much. 2 is the now aplified sub, could begin to drown out the other speakers, either from just raw volume alone, or combined with polarity phasing. You can opt to make the amplified sub more timid thru various ways, which could help with the overwhelming volume difference, but it might still suffer some phasing. If money is tight, just pick at each area as you can, when you can. Ultimately you want to get to a point of having all the speakers externally amplified, and a quality DSP controlling the signal.

My c2 speakers push out 60watts rms and my amp will be giving it 75 watts at 4 ohm, will the 15 watt difference damage the speaker?

So i recently bought 4" JBL for my rear doors, they are coaxial. Also 6.5" coaxial to replace my trunk subwoofers which i think i messed up on. Should i have had only gone for normal subs in the trunk?

I have 6.5" pioneers in the front

Definitely should’ve just gotten a subwoofer for the trunk. If it’s in a car where the trunk is closed off, the mid/top range of the speakers would be muffled anyways.

Ok well here’s what I have. My car is a late 70s Pontiac and has only 3 speakers. 2 on the rear deck lid and 1 in the center of the top of the dash. All speakers are 6x9. So I’m assuming if you want the best possible sound out of that stock setup then all 3 should be 3 way speakers?

@DanielJohnson-ec8rk Жыл бұрын

Definitely or even 4 way 6x9’s

In my vehicle I’m just looking to upgrade my factory speakers and keep factory head unit the factory 3 1/2” speakers are rated at 8ohms and any replacements are are at 4ohms is there any way to remedy this or will it not hurt the 4ohm speaker to run at 8ohms?

@Technotranceism Жыл бұрын

Most 4 ohm speakers can handle 8 ohms, it's just can the receiver handle 4 ohms is the concern. There are companies who make aftermarket 3 1/2" 8 ohms speakers, just not a bunch of them.

For a basic unit, for example 2x20W, what power of speakers shoud I choose? Or vice verse (for 20W speakers, should I coose a 20W unit or say 40W unit)? I am asking in regards to sound quality (for listening to musinc at lower volumes). For example, maybe a 20W audio unit will not sound very good with 20W speakers, because it is pushed to the max amplification. Or the speakers will not sound good at their max power. If you understand what I mean.

@maxl7827 Жыл бұрын

Yeah choose maybe 30W speakers, doesn't really matter. Just don't go too high or it will be worse

The good thing about speakers is as long as the manufacturer is transparent about the specs you know exactly what you’re getting. I’ve got the cerwin vega v468 years ago when they were $75 a pair and now they’re $85 each 😮 The best deal on the market right now is BZRK 6.5 for $40 a pair and they will compete with or surpass the flagships from major brands.

I’m trying to figure out best set up for my 2001 Cabrio. I just sold a 2000 (regrettably) that had a great sound system. I do t know the intricacies of it. Just photos of the speakers, amp, and 8” Rockford sun in rear. They had what appeared to be smaller dash speakers in the factory spot, with tweeters sitting in back of them pointing toward driver. Looked like a small infinity speaker mid range, and the tweeter is likely JL (or infinity) because the doors were JL mids. Amp was a 300 Watt JL. Rears, unsure, finding ones that fit is challenging, but Crutchfield stated I could space the screws with washers and other mods to bring thing “out”. Anyone have ideas of what to buy? It sounded so good! If I could locate the original O I’d duplicate it as close as possible. It had an older 52 watt X4 Alpine CD player. I’m thinking Kenwood next (I dont like those pop up screens).
