Speakers; Size and Impedence?

Silver Member Username: PitbullguyChicago, Illinois I Eats Beats... Post Number: 633 Registered: Oct-06 | Based on the advice of people on and off of this forum, i think i'm going to ditch my 99 Jeep Grand Cherokees "premium" sound system entirely. That system, according to crutchfield.com has 6x9's in front and 6.75's in back... Would i have a problem fitting 2 pair of Infinity Reference 6.5's in front and back?? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15355 Also, would this amp match up well to run these speakers? http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/1422517/vpcsid/0 /SFV/30046 Other parts of system will include a Pioneer Premier 680mp head unit, 2 12" Arsenals ported, and an EDnine.1 amp. Thanks in advance. |

Post Number: 636 Registered: Oct-06 | i'm not opposed to leaving the back empty at all i guess...maybe i'll just use the extra money to get some beastly 6x9's for up front. What would you reccommend if i said my budget was $250 for the speaks and an amp for em? |

Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Post Number: 253 Registered: Jul-06 | I would go with what mat dope said and get an adapter plate to use a 6.5" speaker in your 6x9 opening. Round speakers just sound better. Also, components will have better SQ than coaxials, so I would get them unless you don't want to mount the tweeter seperate. And you will only need a 2 channel amp if your not running rear speakers. |

Silver Member Username: PitbullguyChicago, Illinois I Eats Beats... Post Number: 638 Registered: Oct-06 | yeah mounting the tweeters would be a problem, I read on crutchfield that the factory tweeters mounted in my jeep are not the same size as ANY aftermarket tweeters... |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 3027 Registered: Jan-06 | you dont want to mount them in the factory spot anyway. mount the tweets next to the mid woofer some where. |
|
Silver Member Username: PitbullguyChicago, Illinois I Eats Beats... Post Number: 641 Registered: Oct-06 | how complicated is it to mount them? what kind of tools would i need? |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 3031 Registered: Jan-06 | its easy. really depending on how your door is and stuff you might be able to just cut a small hole in the door pannel next to the woofer and slip the tweet in there so it faces tward the center dome light. and then you might have to kinda glue them in place or something. |

Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Post Number: 264 Registered: Jul-06 | No to the kickers. But I think the JL's would be ok... |

Silver Member Username: PitbullguyChicago, Illinois I Eats Beats... Post Number: 645 Registered: Oct-06 | what would be better than "ok" off this list if i stretched to say....$150 or so. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductList.aspx?CategoryID=16&AttrID=1& AttrValue=6.5&RowIndex=8&PageNum=0&SortField=1&SortOrder=0&ShowAll=True& p.s. i'ma go lift weights now, be back in about 45 minutes. |

Silver Member Username: Nd4spd18Post Number: 266 Registered: Jul-06 | Well I haven't heard a lot of component speakers so I will let someone else answer that... But a lot of people seem to like JL components. |
|
Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 3044 Registered: Jan-06 | probly some dimonds and the only JL speaks iv heard anything good about are the ZR line iv heard the others arnt worth getting. |

Silver Member Username: PitbullguyChicago, Illinois I Eats Beats... Post Number: 648 Registered: Oct-06 | Would these components... http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=12428 ...work well with this amp? http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/2599031/vpcsid/0 /SFV/30046/order/asc/order_by/title |

Gold Member Username: Matt12490California USA Post Number: 1639 Registered: May-05 | $150 for decent components is pretty cheap, dont expect anything better than decent. really tho its true |
