Gold Member Username: TjmutlowPost Number: 2501 Registered: Sep-05 | if you go with kappas, youll need an amp, you need a price range and whether your using an amp on them. |

Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1631 Registered: Dec-05 | yes i will use an amp and my budget will be about 400$ for the pair |

|
Silver Member Username: Van_manBoston South, MA Post Number: 723 Registered: Mar-06 | ^^^yes Refrences is the higher line |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1632 Registered: Dec-05 | man both of are fu.cken stupid the kappa is better than the reference but yea wuts a BA? |
|
Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 181 Registered: Mar-05 | wow, I sort of hope those were joke posts. the infinity line works like this: reference - base model kappas - a step up kappa perfects - top of the line And BA is Boston Acoustics, they make some really nice products. I don't know what your budget is or what size you need but for coax speakers the SL65's are a nice option. You can get them for around $130 on ebay with shipping. |

Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1636 Registered: Dec-05 | oh my bad about BA ya i know boston acoustics is good |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1637 Registered: Dec-05 | oh i checked the polks and BA and in the good model it doesnt come with a 4" counterpart. sorry i forgot to mention that. im liking the kappas because they come with a 4" counterpart too but i dont like how theyr 2ohms cuz i want to also run a pair of tweeters with the four speakers so ya are there any other good ones? |
|
Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 182 Registered: Mar-05 | yeah, your options are definately going to be a bit more limitted if you're trying to find 4" speakers. just to clarify, you're looking to run 4 inch coax speakers and then seperate tweeters as well? I'm guessing you're looking to put together a three way system, so you'd have a 6.5 midwoofer as well? I guess I'm just a litte confused as to your intentions, could you lay it out for me? |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1638 Registered: Dec-05 | alright i want 4 coaxials and 4 tweeters. i will run 1 coaxial and 1 tweeter on 1 channel of a 4ch amp so that means the amp will run at 2ohms so thats why i want 4ohm speakers and tweeters |

Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 186 Registered: Mar-05 | Rather than try and find a coax and seperate tweet and then having to put together your own crossover setup and all that, I'd probably just go with a set of Kappa Comps since they're 2 ohm anyway. |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1644 Registered: Dec-05 | but i dont wants comps unless they come with the tweeter right in front of the cone...i just cant install comps in the front of my car where the 4" go |

Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1645 Registered: Dec-05 | well wut do u think of these mb quartz. i heard mb quartz are good and sound harsh which is the sound im looking for. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=2682 http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=1202 |

Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 190 Registered: Mar-05 | I haven't heard that model, but it seems to fit your needs and MB Quart makes a good product and that's a really decent price. |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1646 Registered: Dec-05 | do u think it will sound louder than wut i have right now? i have two pairs of 4" and 6.5" infinity references and 4 niobioum tweeters. u know those cheap tweeters that are all black that u get at the swapmeet for like 7 bucks. oh and its powered by the hu a Pioneer DEH-P7700MP which is 22rms x 4 |
|
Silver Member Username: DkchillinVermont Post Number: 191 Registered: Mar-05 | I don't know that you'll notice it being any "louder" just by changing out the speakers. You really need to put more power to them to gain volume. I think you'll probably gain some clarity but for volume you'll need to amp them. |
|
Gold Member Username: PelonaPerris, California USA Post Number: 1648 Registered: Dec-05 | ya i know i will be powering them with an amp i think the one i have right now will just have more "high treble " because of all 4 of the tweeters including the reference tweeters while if i get the mb quartz i think it will be louder but with more mid and less "high treble" because theres less tweeters. this is why i want to add more tweeters to give it a more "high treble" sound |

I never said that the ref. were the higher line, obviously there are not. |

New member Username: AudioffileGalesburg, IL U.S.A. Post Number: 5 Registered: Jul-06 | Just a word of advice... You will learn a lot more about what you like and what you don't like by only changing one thing at a time in your system. For example, try buying the amp and see how that makes your speakers sound. It will probably improve the sound of your current speakers quite a bit. Then, if you're still not happy, buy new speakers. But if you change both at once and you're not happy with it you don't really know which part is not up to par. I am only telling you this b/c I did the opposite. I bought four speakers and an amp all at once b/c I had the money but they weren't really what I wanted and I ended up taking all of it back out. Good luck. |
