Loud Components for a Deville

[Tylo88]

Looking for a set of loud 5.25 components for a 03 Deville DHS. Currently my setup is:

Pioneer TS-D1730C 5.25 180watt peak components in the front doors

--no rear speakers at the moment because I just blew them. Going to be using the pioneers I have in front door for my rears once I buy new components for the front..----

For bass I have

2 rockford fosgate p3d4 12's in a dual ported enclosure

Amps are:

Pioneer Gm8604 1200 4ch for highs (not going to be using this after I get new speakers)

Hifonics Zeus 4ch zxz2000.4 on my subs just for the meantime. I'm going to be using this amp for my highs after I figure out which speakers to get.

I have a SKAR Rp2000 monoblock amp new in box ready to be installed that I'm going to be using for my p3d4 12's and then I'll be using the Hifonics zxx200.4 for highs.

Problem is my highs are not loud enough. Prior to that hifonics amp I had a pioneer 1600w monoblock powering my subs and that was almost overpowering my highs and that was only doing 400 rms to each sub so I know for a fact I'm going to want louder speakers if I plan on using that skar amp giving each sub over 1k rms...

Does anyone have any suggestions for some loud 5.25 comp speakers in the 100-200$ range. Was debating on getting the SPX-525c from Skar but wasn't sure if they'd be good...My friends have suggested brands like CTsounds, Crescendo, Mclaren, and Infinity.. let me know what you guys think. Hifonics amp I'm gonna be using does 250x4 @4ohm and 500x4 @2ohm

I would use both that pioneer and hifonics amps since they dont really do much actual power. Yes the zues series is very overrated.

Components wont get loud sorry to say. In order to truely get loud you'll want to go with an active network setup with raw drivers that actually were built to get loud.

With some alphard db-4 super tweeters should get you loud however if you want it both sounding good and loud, you'll need a good active crossover network capable head unit with a good 13 band EQ and 24 bit dac.

So i'd advise you to save up for a real front stage setup. If possible can you modify your 5.25 to a bigger speaker? the cone area helps with loudness and midrange quite a bit.

You wont need any rear speakers if your front speakers can be heard several football fields away.

so @jeaffdachef should he bridge hifonics to front speakers (like the mids u showed) and use pioneer amp to run tweets?

yep that looks like the ones he has shown me b4.. for some reason his rear speakers blow and fronts aren't loud enough and that as with about 500rms to subs, he's gonna have closer to 2200 on subs soon

See that definitely looks legit..but I'm not going for several football fields loud at the moment. I will probably go for a setup like that soon, I plan on upgrading everything in the next year or so. (Subs, box, head unit, add a 6x9 in the rear deck, dynamat my rear deck etc) but right now, I'm just looking for a set of components that are louder than those pioneers that guy just linked..my deck only has a 10 band EQ and no 24bit DAC. It's just a SONY WX-900BT...plan on getting a pioneer double din tv with 24bit dac and all that when I go for the full upgrade in the future. Right now my plan is just to get a set of louder components for my front. Put the pioneer mids that are in the front right now in the rear, and then mount both sets of tweets on my front pillars by windshield..

Heres component sets I was debating on:

I will be going for a front stage type of setup in the future, definitely like where Jef was going with that. But right now I just want something a bit louder than than these

Is there a reason you want to downsize from 6.75" components to 5.25"?

 

[Tylo88]

The factory speakers were 5.25 bose speakers. They have to be 5.25, I didn't mean to link the 6.75 Pioneers, they are the 5.25 components sorry for confusion haha
