Which Door Speakers is Everyone Using?

[OVERKILL]

Thanks ahead

Stock

5X7 kickers, all around

 

[pronstar]

I had 6.5-in Polk components in front, with a tweeter in the shark fin.

And I had 5x7 Polk coaxials in the rear doors.

 

[OVERKILL]

There's so many to choose from that I'm trying to narrow it down.


Any suggestions?

I installed 3-way, 5x7 sony x-plodes in all 4 doors. Much better sound than stock. I also pulled the ****** factory radio and replaced it with a pioneer radio/cd. It has more power and sounds better than stock. Next up is dual exhaust at x-mas. Hope it goes over well with the wife. I haven't told her yet.

6.5 polk components in the door with the tweeter between the door handle and the dashboard near the top.

I usually go by price while sticking to top brand names. With an amp, they'll almost always sound pretty good...or good enough for me.

I don't think my ear is trained enough to discern subtle differences, especially when you throw road/wind/exhaust noise into the equation when driving at speed.

Well I own a car audio sub enclosure comapny and i am a former Iasca judge and competitor. Just to give you my back ground.

I use Boston pro 60s in my 07 limited and they have everything incliding the plates to mount them in your expedition. All models.

If you do not want to spend that much try the sl or sx series.

Kicker SS 5.25" comps up front, Kicker RS 5.25 comps in back.

started fiberglassing pods for kicker SS 8" midbasses as well up front.

I'm using Rainbow Refernce 3 way for front stage.
Dynaudio system 240gt for rear fill.

[Breezyjr]

Boston SX85 in the front.
Boston SX55 in the back


Sony sucks by the way. Crappy company with crappy products.

Well it's obvious that bloodzero's brain has been baked far to long by the Arizona sun. Granted SONY may not be the best speaker out there, but for the price there a good bang for your buck. Now bloodzero the next time your in the market for high quality speakers, where price is no option, perhaps you should look at Infinity, Rockford Fosgate, or Bose before you buy the lower quality Boston's you bought in the past.

Just for the record SONY makes a very high quality product. I've never been disapointed in any SONY product I have purchased.

The shark fin is referring to what pronstar mentioned in an earlier post. Its the peice of plastic on the actual door above the main door panel. on the 97-02 models it looks like a little shark fin.

 

[pronstar]

Yeah, the shark fin is the interior trim piece tha'ts like a triangle. The outside mirror is on the outside of the shark fin.

 

[4x4Dude]

any pics of the tweeters in the shark fin?? I'd like to do this, just curious how it looks

 

[Breezyjr]

Toocivil: Please tell you didn't just use "bose" and high end in the same sentence.... heh
As for high end, where price is no object, you may want to look into: Rainbow their refernce 3 way passive runs $10k, Hertz, Brax, focal, Dynaudio, Scanspeak (they also make the Alpine F#1 drivers), DLS, Hybrid Audio Designs (designed by IASCA world champian, Scott Bawalda (sp?)).... Now, those are some high end speakers. The one's mentioned are just fine, just not really considered high end... and I apologize if I sound like an audio snob...

They might make high quality product. But there is higher with quite a few companies. On my list, Sony ranks as "iffy". Boston ranks at alright. Not the best, but still pretty good.


If I had the time to set up a component system in a 99 Expo doing all the new wiring and shit myself, I'd go with the Infinity Kappa Perfect Components.


Sony is good if you don't know car audio and you want it to sound better then stock. But if you want something that is better than Sony, there are a ton of better choices.

Live by this.
