FEATURED If money wasn't a concern.. 6.5 speaker selection?

[just call me KeV 10+ year member]

Where can i find these?

I think madisound.com exclusively sells Accuton. Great company. I have bought gear from them before. (SB Acoustics) They specialize in a lot of boutique brands. Gorgeous, pricy stuff.

Wow.. I learned some new info lol iv never heard of all these speakers and had no idea they get this expensive.

I figured you guys would suggest $300 type pairs and that would be top of the line stuff.. lol so upgrading my vette wont be as cheap as I thought.

Also sounds like kicker, sony alpine etc. are junk compared to this stuff

Any name brand speaker is going to sound better than factory. You can get a pair of $75 Pioneer speakers and run them off an aftermarket radio, and the sound would be a lot better. It's all about what you are looking for. For me I have heard just about everything. For my dream system, I would pay $20,000 just for the audio equipment. However, I'm perfectly fine with a $2000 system.

You may have a hard time fitting Accuton speakers in your doors. IIRC, all their midbass drivers are pretty deep.

Nothing a Sawzall and a spacer won't fix

What is the model of the Clarion amplifier? is it a 4 ch. or 2 ch,and what RMS Power per Ch.?

Id spend some money/funds on sealing those doors off to keep the road noise down and prob the floor boards too. Id get those crossovers out of the doors and put those under the front seats at the least so you have access to them to change tweeter settings and keep from rain moisture getting to them,and falling in the door card later on bouncing around and keep from damaging the crossovers

I dont remember the model.. its 50rms x4. It seems to do a really nice job

Great suggestion thank you.

So I picked up these feel super solid. You guys think i should go with a better 4-way amp?

If so any suggestions for a nice one that wont break the bank.

Recap.. i want crisp clear sound. The skar amp and 15” sub put out sooo much bass(love it) so i think im good there.

My head unit is a sony and according to the reviews.. it was a pretty decent model to get and seems to do good as well.

PS… dont mind my 70’s pink carpt in my previous post and pics.. bought an old farm house and rebuilding the whole thing

Try with what you got first. Swapping amps is fairly easy since all the wires are already ran

chances, you'll be perfectly happy with the amps you have. There are better amps, but unless your vehicle is sound deadened, you won't really hear much of a difference to justify the expense.

I've had the opportunity to listen to some of the most outrageously priced sound systems. The only thing I have found is, they only sounded good with classical and natural voices. When listening to hip hop or rock, they sounded like crap. It was hard to tune them right.
