[QUOTE="Wipster, post: 6926754, member: 624558"] Hi all, Looking for a bit of advice from the people with experience regarding speaker choice for my car, my stock ones blew [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif[/IMG] literally and physically. I know this is a very expansive question so let me give some details to narrow it down a bit. The range I am looking in is the 4ohm 6.5" speakers, reason for this impedance is I don't have an amplifier so I need to be able to drive from the head unit (KDC-W8534) being LOUD isn't too important too me I'd much rather have good sound quality at my normal listening levels.... or is an AMP just considered a MUST? The head unit outputs 30W RMS, so I think I need a bit of headroom in-case down the line I do decide to get an amp so I am also looking in the 60W range... The music I listen too is a bit of a range from metal to dubstep so it can be quite bassy, to that end I am changing my fronts from 5.1/4" to 6.5" (space permitting) so they need to be ok with lower frequencies, probably not going as far as a subwoofer... I like my boot space. I am also not an 'audiophile' so there is a cap to my budget which is probably around £50-60 per speaker pair. Sofar I have been looking at the Alpine SPG-17C2 but not knowing much on the subject and being a bit of a stickler for stats I cant make my mind up. What would you recommend I look into?
