does it exists?

Hi!

I want to buy some 5X7 or 6X8 component speakers and I was wandering if it is possible to buy a decent pair for about 125$? If so, what would you suggest? It will be powered buy an amp that can give 4X75W at 4 ohms.

I know I could buy other sizes, but I don't want to!

And a sub question! My amp is 5 channels, can I use the channel 1 to 4 for speakers at 4 ohms and the sub channel at 2 ohms? Here a link to my amp! TA5.1250 - Tarantula - Amplifiers - Car Audio

thanks e1

Yes, you can run that amp 4 x 4ohms + 1 x 2 ohms ....

buy some Infinity Kappa mids and highs and run it full 2 ohms ...

Thanks for your answers, would you have any link to these speakers, cause I think there are a few models of kappa? Thanks again

Got the 6829's along with the pwx 8" in my doors. Solid front stage. Full door treatments too.

These are coaxial speakers not component,,,,, well.... I think.

no links really, just search amazon and sonic for infinity kappa... most of them are 2 ohm ....

you are limiting yourself to the budget of cheap coaxial speakers. so don't worry about components, $125 components are junk. at least with a coax at that budget you don't have the added cost of a cheap crossover.

go with a set of four Kappa 5x7 and rock out. Infinity 6829CF

i have a set of four Eclipse 8971 which are 5x7 coaxial components. They sound great but are old school. I intend to use them in my father's Ford Ranger.

Yeah they are. Relocated the tweets to the sail panel.

Hi! Sorry if I am sending this message twice I think I made a mistake but here it is.

My question is at what price point would you say that it is better to buy components speakers rather than coaxial? I bought a JL audio 10TW3 dual 4 ohms and I think it is a fairly good subwoofer so I don't want to put some front speakers that will sound not so good.

Because I think components speakers will give you better sound than coaxials but maybe im wrong. So is it more like 150$ or even 175$ and if so which ones would be a good choice?

At what point would you say ``Ok i'm getting those components because they will be better than those 125$ coaxials``. I forgot to mention that my amp is 4X75W at 4 ohms or 4X125 at 2 ohms.

Thanks again for your help!

it's really install dependent. in the kicks, good coax can work but i think good coax is >$200. you'll notice good coax put a LPF on the woofer.

the best budget components i've heard are the HAT Imagine series, but they don't have a crossover (just a cap on the tweeter) so costs were shaved in the basket and crossover but good quality speakers were used. from there, if i'm on that tight of a budget i won't buy anything new. $500 is about my low end for wanting new components. used, you can get a $500 set of components for $100.

Ok Thanks for the honest answer!

I'll be thinking on what I will do.
