New member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-05 | Im having a hard time deciding which of the following componant speakers to get for my toyota camry. Infinity 5.1 Perfects,Infinity Kappa 50.5CS, Jl Audio XR525-CSI, MB Quart PCE-213,MB Quart RCE-213. I mostly listen to rap and dance music and rock. My budget is around $240. Also i will be using Alpine MRP-F240 for them which is 100x2 rms bridged or maybe my ppi pcx 2200 which is 200x2 rms stereo and thats 2 channels. Which amp whould be better guys? Let me know what to do. Thanks |
Silver Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 127 Registered: Feb-05 | For the alpine which componant is the ideal. I also was thinking about the Diamond Audio M651 5.25 componants. I heard good things about them. ANy suggestions. I listen to mostly rap and electronica. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3437 Registered: May-04 | In that price range I'd look at the Adire Audio Kodas. Fantastic component set. They were on sale not too long ago, I'm sure they will be again fairly soon. If not you can scour ebay. |
Silver Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 182 Registered: Feb-05 | adire audio kodas??? cool ill take your word and look into them. Where can i find them online besides ebay? |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3443 Registered: May-04 | I know, they were on sale around $250 not too long ago and I think (but not sure) they'll be on sale not far from now. |
Silver Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 215 Registered: Feb-05 | Hey jonathan i got a ppi white art 300.2 amp now. Its 75 watts rms x2 at 4 ohms between 11-14 volts. Underated. What kinda componants to go with. Im thinking MB quart PCE series. |
Bronze Member Username: An_eagalachAnnandale, VA US Post Number: 66 Registered: Aug-04 | I answered with some decent speaker prices on your PPI Art post on the amp section in here, but there you hadn't put your budget price. Kappa Perfect 6.1's are $220 at http://shop.store.yahoo.com/vipmobileonline/24.html You can get the CDT 61a's for $150 at thezeb.com, if you really want best bang for the buck. |
Silver Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 221 Registered: Feb-05 | How about the Bostons neil? The pro ones you mentioned earliar. WHouldnt i be underpowering them with the a300.2 ppi amp.? I wanna get the best overall out of those for this particular amp. |

Bronze Member Username: An_eagalachAnnandale, VA US Post Number: 67 Registered: Aug-04 | We're carrying on parallel threads here, yeah, in your other posting in the amp section I mentioned the Boston ProSeries 6.5 as being my personal preference at $339. They are 3-ohm speakers, as I mentioned. Your amp, from what has been said here, pushes 75w into 4 ohms and 150w into 2 ohms, so yes, it would be stable at 3 ohms, and the output would be somewhere in between. I'm not up on how to calculate that exactly, I don't know if you could just split the difference and say 112.5w per channel or not. I think the Boston Pro's would do just fine with this amp. Jonathan, what would you say about 1) the power output and 2) the match between the BA Pro 6.5's and the PPI Art a300.2? |

Silver Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 229 Registered: Feb-05 | Thanks Neil..ill probably order them soon. So they must sound good with any kind of music huh.. |
Silver Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 233 Registered: Feb-05 | Whats the best and lowest price place online i can find them neil? |
Silver Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 234 Registered: Feb-05 | Also what is the RMS Rating on the bostons you mentioned? |
Bronze Member Username: An_eagalachAnnandale, VA US Post Number: 70 Registered: Aug-04 | Check your amp posting for the price question, but as far as RMS rating -- the manual says 20 to 400 watts... I've never seen that kind of range before in speaker specs. But in all seriousness, your PPI Art a300.2, like all "good era" PPI amps, is conservatively rated, so that, plus the fact that the BA's are 3-ohm speakers leads me to believe that they will do just fine with your amp. With the BA 6.5's I hear of people driving them with anywhere from 100 to 200 watts RMS per channel. |
