Crescendo speakers

[Hookedup12 10+ year member]

Has anyone tried the symphony series coaxial speakers from crescendo. I'm looking for a decent set of coaxails for rear of my truck. I am back and forth with infinity kappas, Polk db652, and Nvx vsp68. I was originally set on the db652 but was told the new 652 sound like *** cheeks compared to the old 651 speakers.

Crescendo like SSA store or Cresendo like Europe?

Crescendo like ssa store. They are fairly new haven't heard them yet. Didn't know if anyone had used them or not!

I don't think you would be able to notice much of a difference in any of them.

I'm open to any suggestions as well from other brands but some people were nuthuggin the nvx speakers but I don't know if that was because they are a house brand or if they would really compete with the others mentioned because I could get those with free shipping and some other freebies off the sonic site or would it be smarter to go with the infinity or crescendos

NVX sources good stuff.

Honestly at that price point, just pick one.

I appreciate the help brother! In my truck it uses the 5x7 component set up front with the tweets in the a pillar and I think I'm gonna just use an adapter to convert the front doors to 6.5 so I can have a better selection on compenent sets. The stock Sony speakers just sound really tinny. What would be a good set for upfront 150ish and under range. I'd hate to just slap some coaxials upfront too and it get too bright with having 7 tweeters in the car and losing out on some midbass.

For cheap I like JBL stuff. Find some last year closeouts on eBay.

Like the gx or club line? If I go with either one of those it'd prob be smart to use the same speaker as a coax in the back because they are 2 ohm speakers and the ones mentioned above were 4 ohm speakers and when I am amp them they would be over powering my rears. I could use the nvx v series components I forgot they had a line of those.

that is purely a head unit issue.

If your car already has tweeters just get the pwx or crescendo uns instead. Dont get coaxials.

basically the truck has tweeters in the a pillars a 3.5 speaker center dash 2 5x7 midbass upfront and 2 5x7 coaxials in the back. And the coaxials in back are blown that's why I was just gonna replace them first. The hu is decent it's the Ford sync with nav and "premium sound option" but I'm gonna be using dsp anyway so I'm not too worried about it.

do yourself a favor and save up then....

This is perfect to replace everything up front.

Keep the rear stock and dont waste any money on rears.

Its STOCK aka 16 bit dac, crap junk. But yeah once you get a dsp, even your current speakers will sound amazing. Its purely a head unit issue bud.

Yeah That's why I planned on using some sort of dsp. I have an arc audio sri that my brother will let me have for 150 bucks you have any experience with them?

You don't want to hear the rears. Even with surround sound upmixing the rears are attinuated.

It's not dsp but He upgraded to a Psm and he still has it and it works fine it would at least clean up the signal don't you think
