I don't know the exact specs on my system as as I bought most of it in like 1999-2000. Some of it was used, including my Infinity Kappa Components. They are green and have a date printed of 1998 I believe. Anyway, after many years, they finally failed. I don't run my rear 6x9's and I just enjoy it better. I have, to my recollection, 95 watts RMS per speaker, but I have a 4 channel amp, I cannot remember if that is bridged or per channel but I have a lot of power, or could bi-amp.
I am not necessarily looking to "upgrade" these speakers, just replace with something similar. I am a musician so I am very used to reference monitors rather than bass heavy speakers. Because I use my car as a reference, accuracy is my greatest concern (one reason I don't use rear speakers too, I am not used to having speakers behind me). According to some sites, the new Kappa components don't fit my 02 Honda Accord coupe. I have just been out of the car audio game for about 20 years, outside of HU's, because my stuff just lasted and since I have owned Japanese cars, they have had the same size speakers.
I do have two 10 in subs, Infinity Reference which are plenty loud for me, using their own amp. I don't have a budget in mind, but because it's more of a replacement than upgrading my factory setup, I would love something in the $150-300 range, preferable the lower end, and could go cheaper for a good product. I just don't even know where to start because I have no point of reference, I used to be able to compare my friends cars but nobody I know has systems anymore. If I could describe the sound in words, I prefer smooth and clean over something overly punchy, bass heavy, etc, especially if it makes things muddy. I know I am not offering a long of info, just looking for a starting point. I would prefer to stick in that budget (until I see what other cars I may buy in the future have speaker size wise) as I have no idea how long I will own the car, I hold on to it because it only has 85k on it, even though it is an 02.
