speaker suggestions?

[BLKDODGE04]

wanted to upgrade my audio setup. any suggestion for door speakers? any particular setup? so far all i have is a jvc head unit.

 

[BLKDODGE04]

also what size speakers do i need for the front? rear?

Do you have an amp? That's gonna be key. If it's the stock head unit or stock amp pushing the speakers, look for something in the 30w/2 ohm spec range.

As far as brand, I can't recommend one. You'll have to go listen to some and pick the one that sounds the best to you.

Seriously, consider getting an amp.

 

[BLKDODGE04]

will definitely be getting an amp, any suggestions on an amp? haha. only amp ive ever run is for subs, not really sure how all that works together as far as ohms and rms and all that good stuff. thats why i joined this forum cuz i knew you guys could tell me.

I really want to buy Hertz speakers for my truck.

What kind of budget are you on? I have focals in all 4 if my doors with a 4ch amp pushing them and they sound amazing.

I have some brand new speakers I'm trying to sell, if your interested PM me and we can work something out. Ill also help you match a amp with whatever speakers you decide to get if you'd like.

I'm running the JL 400/4 main amp, Hertz HSK-165 2 way components in the front & Alpine SPS 609 rear speakers in my MegaCan. I have an Alpine 10" Type R subwoofer and an Alpine MRP-M500 amp pushing it along with a remote sub gain knob wired up into the dash.

This is what sounded good to me, which is why I picked those components. I have a set of Hertz HSK-163 3 way components in my SRT, powered by an Audioson LRx4.1k main amp. The 1k portion of that amp drives my Focal 33A subwoofer.

But really, I strongly suggest you listen to some speaker and amp combinations and pick what sounds good to you.

I would not recommend the Hertz speakers unless YOU like them.

I just installed Pioneers in mine. 3-way 6x9's in the front and 4-way 6.5's in the back. All hooked up to a Pioneer head unit. Sound great, allot better than the factory speakers. But its your choice on what brand to get, I just perfer pioneer. But if I had a JVC head unit, I would go with some JVC speakers. Thats just me.

 

[BLKDODGE04]

yeah i have a jvc head unit. so the fronts are 6x9 and the rears are 6.5?

What JVC head? avx840?

 

[BLKDODGE04]

not sure, here it is, nothing fancy by any means...

 

[ltr450rider13]

Right on looks like my older single din. I've been happy w last 3 JVC. I got kickers in dash and doors, haven't done rears, with JL 13tw5 power by JL500x1 Can't wait to see what you went with.

agree with Maddog, go listen to as many coax as you can, if you want a simple install and go. But for sure add more power like a small 4 channel amp...

fts are 6x9 and rears are 5 1/4 ... that being said i would like to chime in and remind you that speakers always sound better when they are round... as speakers are susposta be... my soon upgrade is going to be 6.75 componets ft and rear mine will be Infinity Kappa 60.11cs... expencive i know but all my systems have always been infinity and my subs are and sub amp are already infinity

The stock for the rear is 5.25", but 6.5" will fit. You just gotta drill one hole to bolt the speaker in. Any 5.25" speaker will just drop right in. And yes 6x9" in the front.

not quite agree with that one, sounds isnt determined by shape. As long as they stay linear, doesnt matter shape.

You can also look into infinity reference series.
