Noob help needed

[Aznsoccerstar11]

I have an acura rsx type s it fits 6.5 door speakers I was recommended a set of components but they are too big to fit.

Can someone recommend a good set of components with SQ that will go with a kicker 350.4 amp.

the speaker review section is drowning with spam so I posted here ! Hope It is ok.

The specs I found:

60 watts RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms

90 watts RMS x 4 @ 2 ohms

175 watts RMS x 2 @ 4 ohms bridged

o forsure the two sites i looked at didnt say it could be bridged so i just figured it already was internally bridged. but OP i recommend u bridge it an only do a front stage. u could use the PPI's everyone loves. or the ID's.

an dont worry about the rms on those ppi's they could handle 175.

yea i was thinking of only running the front door speakers considering i have a hatch and the rear door speakers dont do much in the rsx and i also have kicker tweeters. didnt expect such friendly quick responses!

ok then ill continue with my setup

i have an avic d3 indash

and a kicker 750.1 pushing a solo baric l7.

just looking for louder vocals as the sub drowns them out.

budget is reasonable i mean whats the most I will pay for an amazing set of long lasting speakers and no i dont mind bridging.

the first set you posted i was recommended, but their magnet is too big as the door panels on my rsx arent very deep.

^^ there's a good list. the only one's i've heard in person of those are Rainbow SAC 465.25 and they sound great.

My car is a 2004 Acura Rsx type s

with using an amp that is only 350.4 and bridging I have 2 questions

would I get the full potential out of the 550$ speakers

and also a 550$ set vs. 400$ set vs a 140 recommended set will I be telling the difference like wow or is it minimal

I know how it goes with everything in life you get what you pay for

 

[misfit138 5,000+ posts]

I've already told you that your amp is rated for 175 watts rms x2 @ 4 ohms bridged. I've also named, price quoted and linked nice 2-way and 3-way component systems that range in price from $275 - $500. I don't know what else to tell you without getting some useful information.

You keep telling us what kind of car that you drive, but that's not going to help us in the slightest. Tell us the following: (1) your budget, and (2) what type of music you listen to. Then someone will be able to give you a definitive answer and/or recommendation. Telling us the mounting depth that you need would help tremendously as well. We can recommend speakers all day, but it won't do any good if they don't fit in your car.

But I'm going to answer your newest question. YES, the difference between a pair of high-end components vs bargain priced entry level equipment will be VERY noticeable. Not to say that the bargain priced stuff is bad, though. It just depends on what you want out of your equipment. If you think you'll be happy with a pair of $140 comps, then buy them. If not, look into some of the stuff I linked or do some research of your own.

Buy these, man:

http://www.qlogicfactoryoutlet.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3169_3882_3883_3888&products_id=179

That should solve the mounting depth mystery/problem...

 

[Aznsoccerstar11]

Someone asked me he year of my car that's why I replied with it

 

[misfit138 5,000+ posts]

Once again, I've named, price quoted and linked numerous types of comps that range in price greatly, and you neither accepted or refused any of those recommendations. I've asked about your budget TWICE, and you're yet to give me a number. You mentioned the fact that you have mounting depth issues, but neglect to give any information about this problem. I go out of my way to find kick pods for your vehicle so the mounting depth will no longer be an issue, but once again you don't accept or refuse my recommendation.

We can't help you if you don't give us any useful information, man.
