Any speaker suggestions?

[klingcam 10+ year member]

Going to be adding a 4 chan amp (probably around 50-80w rms @ 4 ohms) to a Kenwood Excelon KDC-x494 HU in my 2002 Honda Odyssey. Anyone have any suggestions on comps that fit for the front and coaxs that fit for the rear? Evidently Honda screws you on speaker height because of the factory grills. Wanna keep these grills so as not to tempt thievery(although I might be able to grind down the inside of the grills a bit to make more height) Not too pricey. These are for a mini-van that only gets cranked when the midgets aren't in the car.

Get a couple pairs of the Crescendo components. The mids & tweets can be mounted seperately or as coaxials. They're not expensive either.

Crescendo Audio :: Component Speaker Systems :: CCX65

I don't know about the mounting depth, so you might want to measure...

The only problem I have with those speakers is they get really loud. on about 60 watts. So if youre looking to be loud then yeah //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thanks guys. I'm gonna do some more research on the Crescendos to see if they will fit (or if I can make them fit). What does anyone think of JL Audio? My local shop seems to like them, but I think the experience here along with the fact that no one is trying to "sell" anything, might give me a more accurate and unbiased answer.

Ive heard tons of JL comps, and tons of Crescendo comps. Ive also owned some JL comps and installed quite a few sets of Crescendo comps.

Obviously you cant compare a $600 set of JLs to a $99 set of Crescendos. But for the price, you cant beat the Crescendos. Id put them against anything in the sub $200 range. Get a 4ch amp and run 2 sets, run one as comps in the front, and the other as coaxials in the back.
