Whats the best 6x8 to go with

[hunter081 10+ year member]

Hi all, I have a single cab f150. All 4 speakers are 6x8 or 5x7 will fit. So im told. Anyways I have a pioneer double din last years model avh1400. I just want to do a remove factory speaker/replace with new.

1. whats the best to handle a little "not much" bass

2. whats the clearest that you can think of and has good hi's

3, all on a affordable budget. I really dont want walmart pioneer or ebay kickers but beggers cant be chosers when your not looking to drop a whole bank account on the best stuff.

4. also will the head deck be strong enough or do I really need to get an additional amp to power them. I really wish I could get a componet set with the crossovers and tweeters. But in 6x8 I dont know if they make that.

People please understand im somewhat new to car audio and asking truthfully because I dont know squat about car audio. so please be kind. Questions like these is why I signed up for this forum. Thanks everyone

If I were you and wanted something decent, well priced and sounds good......

2 sets of these, they're not your typical cheap " Walmart" Pioneers.

Pioneer TS-D6802R (tsd6802r) 6" x 8" 2-way D Series Speakers

all depending on if you want to add an amp i would go with 6.5's in the front

Cadence CS2 65K 240 Watt Peak 6 5 inch 2 Way Speaker Component Kit | eBay

something like this is an inexpensive component that needs little power

or if you want to go a little better something like

Boston Acoustics S60 6 5" Car Speaker System w Seperate Tweeters and Crossovers 090283357281 | eBay

for the rear fill you cant beat

Aura 5700RPM 5" x 7" 2-way Coaxial Speaker Pair 269-182

neo magnet, i put 4 of these in my dads mini van and they sound great on a stock radio really the best bang for buck and clear sounding with nice bass output

you could do like i did and just put 4 of these on the headunit, i liked the way they sounded and very efficient.

I really think he's looking for something simple that'll just drop in. He's new so I highly doubt he want to go through all the work it sometimes takes to put in components.

Edit...Blah, just read #4 .
