Which of these 4 x 6 speakers for my sister's Lumina?

Listing here.

This is just a listing from Crutchfield, I may or may not recommend she purchase from them, depends on how strict her budget is. Components are out of the question.

So if you could give me a clear winner or at least help me narrow it down some.

jl audio tr400cxi. it's a 4" coax, but comes with a 4x6 mounting plate. about 100 bucks a pair roughly, and for a 4" an exceptional sounding speaker. probably the best midbass response you'll get out of a reasonably priced 4" speaker. most 4x6's just ****. or a boston acoustics 746 set. a 4" component set on a plate. alpine also makes a good plate setup like that, don't recall what the model # is off the top of my head.

93 model...

so you would suggest a JL 4" or another top 4" over the 4 x 6 speakers? There are some good brands on crutchfield...

alpine type s sound pretty good last time i listened to them

Yeah, I have some Type S 6.5's in my truck, so I kind of want to go with something different for her.

Basically its Boston, Pioneer, Kicker, Polk, or Rockford.

my GF has the Alpine 4X6 plates in her truck. i installed em real quick and wasnt to impressed. i took em out. wired them in phase this time and sealed the speaker off with some foam tape. they way the speakers mounted to the grils ther was about 1/2 gap that would let the back and front waves come throug. after this was all done. i was VERY impressed. pretty strong mid bass out a 4" woofer off deck power. the tweeter is a tad on the bright side for me.

Going once... going twice...

If anyone should see a reason for her not to buy these speakers, let them speak now or forever hold their peace...

Keep in mind: Components are out of the question, an amp is out of the question, and she (being a girl) would like to keep costs down.

get the boston 746's. you won't be disappointed, they sound way better than the s75's.

 

[Justinw303 10+ year member]

I searched Boston's site and could not find any info on 746's... Link please?

kinda hard to miss... at the top of the screen on their home page is a drop down menu labeled 'boston model names' and it's the very first one on the list //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
