Fronts and rears. 2000 civic

[kyle3194 10+ year member]

Okay lets try this out,

I haven't been on in a while (3-4 years?) but I am looking to add some speakers to my 2000 civic. Preface on the car, I bought it CHEAP and want to use it as such. It has low mileage, but the exterior is fairly beat up. Anyway, the guy that owned it before me used powerbass speakers... awesome I know... but did put in an alpine H/U with 22w RMS on all 4 channels. What I am looking for: 5.25" component set for the front, and 6x9's for the back. My current plan is to NOT amplify them, but have the option later. With all of this being said, I am wanting to stay under $250 for both sets. Like $250 combined. My current plan was to go with Fosgate punch series, but I thought I would post this out so people could comment.

Let me know what you guys think.

5.25 component - Rockford Fosgate P1675-S

6x9 rear - Rockford Fosgate P1694

Thanks,

-Kyle

I think the Alpine type E series and the JBL GTO series are going to give you better sound than the RF's. the JBL's always sounded nice to me on head unit power.

I feel like I've always been an RF guy, but after reading the reviews on these JBLs... I may have to make a switch... I really appreciate it Skyline.

No problem. I've installed dozens of each type in customer cars a while back and the RF's were never warm and smooth. Usually bright and weak on the low end. similar to the lower end kicker stuff. JBL usually gave us the best budget sound.
