Component set recommendation?

[djazmatic 10+ year member]

So, im looking to upgrade my speakers.. Starting with the door speakers. the front doors have stock 6-3/4" speakers and tweeters. (car is a 2002 impala just in case needed)

I normally hear music at home on my Samson 50a Studio monitors which I'm extremely satisfied with. So, if possible, I'd like to get a component set that'll achieve sound similar to these (or nearest to it reflecting my budget) if thats possible.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm sure theirs probably sets that'll sound 10x better. But since I only paid about 250 for the actual speaker monitors that are self powered, I'd expect to pay the same, if not less for a set of car speakers that actually need an amp.

Would be great to pay around $150ish for a set. wanting to pay around $200 at max

some crutchfield rep recommended me these based on my budget, do they ****? since their name brand, I'm guessing theres probably some brand i probably haven't heard of thats way better for around the same price

Thats a pretty good set, but you could find a lot better, gently used for less in the classifieds here.

Hertz Energy or Hi-Energy check around for prices.

Great set but out of his budget.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif..

$150 to $200. You can the Energy for $200 if you check around. You might find a deal on the Hi-Energy also.

Out of his budget at full retail prices that is why you have to check around.

Besides who the hell pays retail prices any more.

Maybe for the older model set or a used set.. I don't know where you can get the new set for 200.

I wouldent get it from Crutchfield they're mad expensive. But, if it's your first install and you don't really know what you are doing then it might be okay.

check that out it fits your car.

Also, the Orions that I am running in the rear of my truck sound great for 5 1/4's

I would get an amp for your speakers to maximize the efficiency, it's like throwing a turbo charger on your sound system.

So, I'd be interested in either the Hertz Energy ESK165 or the Image Dynamics CTX65 comps. does anyone know if these would fit in a stock mounting space of 2002 impala door fronts? I seen someone on the forums here are selling the Image Dynamics CTX65's, but based on the pics, the backs look big as hell. If anyone knows let me know, I just don't wanna buy some speakers just to find out they don't fit.

Thanks in advance to anyone who could help..
