[QUOTE="drbrown, post: 1243400, member: 555414"] He hit the nail right on the head, cheap speakers being underpowered by the factory head unit claimed to put out 22wx4 RMS. Everyone I've talked to on and off here is pushing me to get a component set of speakers so I think thats the route I will go eventually. After research I realize why 2 speakers are better than the one 3-way. That being said, I think the choice is clear that its the best route to go. But I do have some questions about what individual speakers do. For example, what is the difference in sound from a 4" and 6.5" speaker with all things being equal as far as brand, material, rms ratings etc? Just asr an example, a Pioneer 4" speaker is nearly identical in frequency and frequency range as their same model 6.5". If they are so similar in specs why ever use a smaller speaker?? This just confuses me to no end when Im thinking of adding 2 extra speaks on each side to the front of the car. If I dont want to spend more than $300 on a set of comp's what should I look at?? This is just a car that will be used for mostly freeway cruising and I will not be competing or anyhting like that, just personal enjoyment. I hear people say good things about speakers Ive never heard of so I get lost on the brand names. I always assumed Infinity, Alpine and Kenwod were top nothc but everyone tells me the opposite. So I'd appreciate any help in deciding which components to use. Thanks for all the help guys! [/QUOTE]
