Advice on new 6.5 front speakers?

[Rabarberboi]

Hi everyone,

I am looking to replace my 6.5 OEM speakers in the front for a new set and amp them with a soundstream amp.

I am not installing a sub so I really want some good mid bass. I also like a warm sound and not harsh/bright.

Also looking to spend max 300 euro.

Does anyone have recommendations what to do? Get a compo or buy everything seperate and what brand.

Thanks in advance!

Alpine Type R are pretty nice and should be available in Europe. Focal is a French company so you may not get beat too bad on taxes with them, but they're also a premium brand so even their "entry level" may still be priced out of your budget. Pretty sure you can also buy JL in Europe. After you get out of their lowest lines I've always thought their components sound nice.

All that said, your results will be largely install dependent. If you can put some work into sealing and sound deadening your doors and finding a good mounting angle for the tweeter (test before you mount permanently!) you can get good sound out of even average equipment. Just so, the greatest equipment in poorly prepared or planned locations will never sound very good.

The FB6.1 Pro beat many set i had before JL C5 Hertz HSK165 Morel Tempo Ultra Alpine R etc..
The FB6.1 tweeters are smooth and never harsh, very good speaker.

A guy that comes around the shop I deal with has a set of the studio lines
They are so crisp and clear
They are also Focal expensive
