What's better than rsd 6.5 coaxials for around the same price?

I"m going to jump on the Vifa link. How about some comps? Anything at parts express you would recommend?

It's not quite PE.com, but these guys have been getting great reviews: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17121_Precision+Power+PPI+356CS.html

The crossover seems VERY nice on that set, plus they give you a bunch of mounting hardware for the tweets.

^^those speakers are a buyout price.you cant compare flee market speakers to Vifa-Peerless-Seas-Morel-HIVi-,Etc...

do you think just because you pay more a speakers it will sound better then something cheaper?

Thats what we are brain washed to beleive in life.

That if you pay more for something then it must be better, then that cheaper brand that you may have not of heard of before.

When i first got into car audio i wasted so much money, buying products from shops that pushed whats good & whats not just to make a buck.

I do buy from Partsexpress.com & Madisound.com now to compare what raw driver sounds good in my set up that i have now.

before you spend your money ask a lot of questions, read & do some research to find whats what in audio.

dont just limit yourself to just Car audio, you can use home driver as well in a car.

Have you ever heard the first speakers you mentioned? If so were they amplified? How much would you throw at each?

Wow, those SDS woofers were already pretty cheap... $10 is a bargain!

 

[okiedokie 10+ year member]

no i havent heard those coaxial speakers, but yes i have heard many sets of vifa speakers.

you will need @ least 70 to 80 rms watts, if your headunit has a xover then you'll need to use it 80-100hz, you wont get a lot of bass from them.

If you dont like them partsexpress wil return them for you.

 

[okiedokie 10+ year member]

yeah i'm thinking of buying a pair SDS, that is really cheap

 

[RowJoe 10+ year member]

The heck? They're $19 now. I KNOW I saw them for $10. Hmm...

Well what about the mid bass? I have subs to take care of the boomy bass.

 

[RowJoe 10+ year member]

That's what he's referring to. These won't be midbass monsters. If you want better midbass, you may want to look into a quality component set + sealing and deadening your doors.

these would a good buy.

 

[mgcauctions09 10+ year member]

i am sealing and deadening the doors anyway? Any other suggestions? Coaxial with good midbass and good tweeters less than $68 per pair.

 

[okiedokie 10+ year member]

if you can save up your money for a set of comps you'll be much happier in the long run.

I've had that Pioneer set and while it's not shabby, you can buy this set for less: http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-TS-D1720C-6-75-Inch-280-Watt-Speaker/dp/B0015NRQ5S

Sorry man, but I think you've gotta raise your budget if you want a coaxial set with those characteristics.

My bad on the double post.

I heard those about 4months ago & i was really impressed with the midbass from those little guys
