Hi folks,
I have just purchased a 2014 Kia Optima LX. With that purchase, they will be changing my stock radio for a Kenwood 691HD. I will be picking up my car tomorrow and will most-likely want to change out my speakers. My music preference is probably much different from most and that's what I want to base the speakers on. You see, the most important part for me is the voice of the singer. For example, I love me some Celine Dion but also enjoy listening to artists like Pit Bull, Fall out boy and other similar bands. The first thing I typically do when I rent a new car is turn the bass down to -3 and treble upto +3 to hear the voices better.
In case this is important for speaker brands, I'm from Canada so it needs to be accessible. I did a little bit of research for myself and I had an idea of speakers I was thinking of purchasing but I have never heard them and would have to order them online without hearing them, which makes me a little nervous. I would have liked to keep the total purchase between 500-800$ but I could go over slightly if it makes a noticeable difference. Here are the dimensions of speakers to fit my car:
2 x 3.5" for the dash
4 x 6.5" for the doors
As I said, bass means nothing to me. If anything it gives me a headache when it's too loud. Here are the speakers I had in mind:
2 x 3.5" for dash = Infinity Reference X REF-3002cfx
4 x 6.5" for doors= Polk Audio db6501
Thanks,
Pat
