I'm tired of listening to my crappy OEM speakers in my 94 accord lx. I have about $200 to spend and i want some good quality speakers. Im guessing that much will only get either the front 2 or back 2 replaced. Which are worth replacing first? What are some good speakers i could get for $200?

PS- I was lookin at some infinitys for the front and noticed they have standard speakers, and componant speaker systems. What are componant speaker systems?

 

definitely replace the fronts first, they will make the biggest difference. What speakers you choose is all up to you and your preference, stick with a known name brand and you should be alright, just make sure you don't get speakers that have a mounting depth of over 2 1/2" and you shouldn't have any problems.

 

if 200 is all you can spend, go get infinity kappa 60.5cs. 154 a pair on ebay

 

go with components.

check out this thread .

 

component systems are usually like a 5 1/4 speaker for mid and lows and a seperate tweeter all connected to a crossover. the mid/low speaker should fit ok, but you're gonna have to mount the tweeter yourself somewhere...its really not a bad route because i cant hear my front speakers w/ out my tweeters for crap.

 

sounds like you need some more power up front.

 

for $200, i say just buy a pair of pioneer 6x9s ($75 shipped) and a bobo amp to power them. I had a $135 Legacy amp (4x55w rms) and it sounded great because you get a lot of midbass. Some people thought I had subs. For your budget, I think that would be the best option. Then you can save up and upgrade, because if you get into car audio seriously, you'll eventually end up spending a lot of money on it.

 

Your rears are gonna sound great, but you will have a crappy front stage if you go this route. Its up to you, do you want great rear stage, crappy front stage or the other way around? I always do the fronts first, get that front stage sounding good then the rear stage, then subs.

 

true, i'm also running OEM speakers with some cheap...CHEAP tweeters up front. right now however, my car stereo is the very least of my car concerns...i can live with it. i've got more important things to spend money on...like lowering my car and a new paintjob

 

Yeah, the front stage will definitely be lacking, but I think that the extra bass makes up for it. But I'm an audiophile, so I need more bass than the average person. :shocked:
