5.25 Component suggestion!!!~

[chodizzle]

Hey peeps,

I'm looking for some 5.25 component speakers for my front. I drive an '01 Audi A4. I'm looking to spend around $300~$400. I won't have any rearfills. I listen to all type of music. Hip hop and Rock when I cruise around, heavy metal before the gym. I already have an:

Alpine 12" Type R

Alpine MRP M500

Infinity 475a - 75 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (90 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms)

180 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms in bridged mode

I want to reuse the Infinity amp for the component speakers.

Focals 130KF

Boston Acoustics Pro50- for this i need to bridged my output?

Any suggestion or flame is welcome!!

Think you can fit 6.5 speakers in there? There are plenty options for 5 1/4, but I feel 6.5s are worth a little metal cutting if that's all it takes. Hell, you might only need an MDF baffle to make it work.

I've listened to the Alpine SPX-13PRO speakers and they are pretty faithful to the overall spectrum and get fairly low so would blend in well with your type R.

I've heard good things about Polk Audio. Their premium speaker would be the SR5250, they kind of resemble Pioneer's Stage 4 speakers.

Also you might want to check out Dynaudio or Audison since you're willing to spend the money, and there are plenty of people here who will be able to tell you higher quality off-brands.

Unlike the guy above ^^, i find very little difference between 5.25 and 6.5 components when comparing similar brands/models. With the sub they should blend fine. However that's my own opinion based on my own perceptions
