Is this a good speaker?

[stay_high 10+ year member]

I need a new set of door speaker after my other ones blew. My amp puts out 60 rms so i need speakers rated at 60 rms or better. Also, should i get 2 way speakers or 3 way speakers? Are these kenwoods any good? Im not looking to spend more then $60 on a pair. Oh and i need 6x8's

Kenwood KFC-C6894PS 6" x 8" 3-Way Performance Coaxial Car Speakers

for 6x8,6x9 even.. id look into getting either infinity/jbl/or polks..for mainstreem speakers..other than that may look into massive...components are much better if you can swing the extra cash..if not..i recommend 2ways

Could you recommend me a pair of 6x8's that are no more then $60? Also should i just buy a pair for the front and not the back? Then i could spend $120 on a nice set rather than $60 on 2 sets?

JBL GTO8628 6" x 8" / 5" x 7" Grand Touring Coaxial Car Speakers

True but its only one review =/. The polks and hifonics i posted have like 20 4 star review vs the 1 5 star of the powerbass. But if you say its better than ill get it you know more than me

they do look great for the price..i know iput a pair of 6.5 components in a 2005 chevy truck/zues,and they were pretty loud/impressive with amp power.so,i wouldnt expect any less from those..

Ya there alright tbh. Sound good at lower volumes but not too great when turned up real loud. could of course be my crap HU.

It's a combination of your crap head unit, crap signal setup, and crap amp. Oh, and your crap speakers. And most likely crap install. And crap gain as crossover settings.

Umm i think it might have been you you suggested me buying this amp? Someone on this forum anyways. How do you know i have crap gain settings?

Because of the way you have your signal wiring setup. There's no way for you to not be clipping the crap out of the amp.

What amp is it? Part of my post was a joke, but you definitely need to get a better head unit or line driver or something.
