Best speakers and tweeters for $600

I might try them, they have 60 day return. I heard a few guys say they sound really good.


Can i run all these speakers with a 5 channel ? midrange and tweeter need to be run active. Then theres the problem of where do i put the midrange, have to find or make custom pods.

In order to use a 5 channel you would want the midrange and tweet to be very close to each other and mounted fairly high. You would be using the passive crossover for just the mid range and tweet. The midbass gets its own channel.

You lose individual tweaking if the tweeter and midrange but you don't have much other option other than a 6 channel+mono

But if you keep the midrange and tweeter extremely close to each other's it can still sound very good. Time alignment would be nearly identical between the 2 and you really only lose individual eq.

And yea you would want to do pods on the a pillars.

So i lose tweaking ability if do this, but should sound better than just tweeter with tweaking ?. So im guessing all i really need is the ability to have time alignment is the most important. That sony kit is $600, there are lots of pods out there.

Something like this could be made to work, i could paint it same color as A pillar.


I will figure it out.

I will figure it out.

The first pods you listed would work but you would want them as close to the same plane as possible.

The ds18 pods are set on the same plane a single flat surface. But the ds18 pods are big and not easy to fit.

I don't necessarily think you'll get any worse response running midbass and tweeter than running midbass, midrange, and tweeter. But generally 3way can be driven slightly louder since you are keeping the individual drivers playing in their ideal frequency ranges. I don't think that's any really reason to go 3way though.

Lots of excellent sounding 2way systems out there. 3way adds the extra complexity of the 3rd speakers. Its up to you what you want to do but I don't think 3 way is worth it without running full active.
 
I have to agree with you, been doing alot of research on youtube and various places. I think active is the way to go, the ability to control what each speaker does is important. I may just go with the Sony speakers but in the 2 way formation, nice thing is that 60 day return.

I could go SI and get the M65 mark iv, and try to pair another brand tweeter with it, just dont want to wait 3 months for tweeters to come in. Si has a no return policy which i dont care for really, yes im sure there speakers are really good, but no return unless broken is hard for me to swallow.

I think the Sony or the AF Gs 60s will be fine for me and sound good.
 
I'm going to give the Sony's a try if I don't like them I will return them.

I appreciate everybody's input and recommendations I know everybody has their own personal favorite speakers and then there are speakers that are just well known to everybody. I'm going to try the Sony since see what happens I can always come back to recommendations in this thread if the Sony's do not work out but thanks everybody for your input.
