Are these speakers worth it?

You are a special kind of retard that wears a helmet, elbow pads and drools a lot aren't you?

Nice first post. So I missed it in one of his posts, at least I was trying to help, unlike you.

If you have better advice to give him please do so. I'm far from an expert.

Meh guys... dont argue and just finish helping me...

If i get the 2 speaker sets and keep that amp will it sound great?

I just want to purchase the crap cause im sick of looking around.

Not getting back speakers is not an option. They are blown so im gonna replace them anyways

Yes, I think it will sound very good. Kicker makes some quality stuff.

Na man, I was an expert 10 years ago, I just want to make sure that there are informed opinions here before he went and blew his nut on crappy gear. I just didn't want him to take advice from someone that didn't read the thread since that signifies laziness....to me at least.

Ok, let's clear a few things up.

1)Capacitors are pretty much useless. They are a bandaid, nothing more. If your electrical system is not up to par, you need to upgrade, not patch.

2)RMS spec is not the thing to look at when buying components. It doesn't matter. You need to focus on getting a set that sounds good. Many are out there for $250 or less.

3)Ditch the rear speakers altogether. Having rear speakers will mess up your soundstage. Having a good set of comps up front will sound better and will be more than adequate for people who sit in the back. The most important thing is that it sounds good from where you sit, because you will spend the most time listening to it. You can find really nice comp sets for $250 and less. If you must have rear speakers, just get a pair of good coaxes and power them with the HU. It will sound just fine and won't cost as much or pull as much power.

4)Making sure your doors are well deadened and your speakers are installed properly is just as important as the actual speaker selection. Make sure you include deadening in your budget or you will have waisted a bunch of money

Now, with $900 for everything, this is what I would do.

HU: Alpine 9886 $270 shipped

Speakers: Pioneer TS-C720PRS $290 shipped

Amp: Alpine PDX 2.150 $240 shipped

Deadening: Raamat BXT $140 per roll shipped (one roll will be more than enough)

Comes out to $940 shipped total. You could easily bring that under $900 depending on where you buy. You could also pick a different HU and comp set to bring the cost down. There are plenty of great, affordable options out there if you take the time to look, especially if you don't mind buying used.

Check the classifieds here for great deals on great equipment. Your dollar will go much further.

I would not buy anything from Kicker except amps. The subs are okay for SPL-oriented installs, but the SQ is really lacking with their equipment

Thread over. Ridley, listen to the man, I see nothing bad about anything he just said.

I've been skipping back and forth to this thread from other threads for the last while. My memory isn't the best anymore but I don't think I'm lazy. Please correct the uninformed opinions I've given him so he can make a better decision. It won't hurt my feelings a bit and I might learn something in the process. I told him most people on here know more than me via pm.
