Looking for suggestions for a set of 4x6's and 5.25's to go in my Mk1 Cabriolet.
Currently I have some Phoenix Gold RSd460's (4x6, 5-40w RMS, 80w Peak, sens. 87dB) and RSd5's (5", 5-50w RMS, 100w Peak, sens. 88dB)
The mounting style for the 4x6 is known as 4x6m. It had 4 sheet metal tabs off each corner rather than a plate. I'd rather stick with this style to make a easy transition without too much custom fab. A mix between top and bottom mount since the grill sandwiches the speaker between the door card.
The mounting style for the 5.25 is similar with 4 sheet metal tabs off each corner. However, this speaker is not sandwiched between the door card, so there is a little room for thicker tabs.
I'm looking for a set of speakers that would be an upgrade from what I have. I'll worry about matching to amps later on. However, I'd like to get speakers from the same company. I listen to everything from hip hop, to dupstep, to indie, to rock... Not much of a country fan. So I'll need good high's and mids. I have a sub for lows, but speakers capable of playing some lower tones (clearly) would be good.
Honestly, I have no idea what would be an upgrade from what I have, but I know there are better speakers out there. Most important, IMO, is finding a decent set of 4x6's since better 5.25's to pair them with are easier to come by.
Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated.
