Im thinking about upgrading my component speakers, since our factory ones leave a lot to be desired. I have a modest budget of about 50bucks that I would like to stay within for the front two speakers.
Im looking for something with good clarity and good bass response, to compliment the two 10in subs I have in the trunk. Any recommendations? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I've got 6.5" Kenwood 1680ie in doors and 6.5" Sony XPlodes in the rear, running off my Alpine CDA-9886. I've got 2 10" MTX subs in the back running off an ancient ass MTX Thunder amp. I also started with the front speakers; they were a gift, but I believe they ran somewhere in the neighborhood of $50-$60. I'm quite sure you could find them on Amazon within that price range. I bought the Sony XPlode speakers for the rear used for $25 for the pair, and am very happy with them as well.
I will tell you that it'll definitely make a difference to upgrade your front speakers first, but you'd be surprised at just how much acoustic comes from the rear speakers. My Kenwoods in the front really aren't super great for bass, but they're very good for mids and into the highs. The Sony XPlodes are good for the mids and lows, so it all balances out pretty well for a budget setup, and definitely works very well with my deck. -------------------- ![]() |
