Speaker brands, What's Good? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Hey, I've got a buddy of mine wanting to put new speakers in his Jeep and told him I'd ask all of you guys for some help. I've done some research and I know that JL's have a good med and high but no low. Just thought that someone with first hand experence could give me some info. I'm thinking sony xplodes have a good range, that's all I know right now. If you got some free time, post your opinon. Thanks.

well car audio is my life . but i think you will be better off using a 4 channel amp, the reason why i recommend 4 channel amps for speakers is incase you want to add another set, but dont get me wrong you can use 2 channel amps or mono's. look into an amp that will put out around the RMS of the speakers. but remember you do not need an amp that matches the RMS to get the best sound. i would recommend an amp that puts out around 40rms (or more ofcourse, but not over 150rms or so unless they can handle it or its a good deal). i cant really name any certain models off hand but as always i can recommend brands to look at: MTX, JL, Memphis, JBL, Rockford Fosgate, Kicker(and whatever other brands i have recommended) but as i said i would try and find a good 4 channel amp incase you want to power them also. but you can use a mono or 2 channel amp to power 4 speakers also. id personally run all components and not coaxials because they put out better sound/imaging. but running coaxials are fine... also guys i dont want anyone to think i know it all because i certainly do not so dont listen to me, listen to brands yourself, read as many reviews as you can. if you like them that is all that matters, i just try and help everyone from having to buy new amps/subs/speakers/etc.. by pointing them out to the better brands. while some are expensive they will serve you well. think twice and buy once!
