Best 6.5" comp. for $400-$600
 

Im putting together a new system for my saturn and im looking for SQ on a budget.. I have a JVC KW-avx706 Head unit and just picked up a Rockford P450.2 to power my front components 100w RMS x2 @ 4Ω

i was considering Infinity Kappa perfect6.1's or JBL C608GTi ... any sugestions... i have not heard them as no dealer around here has any.. what do you guys think?

Your close to Toronto. I bet there's a whole bunch of dealers in Toronto has them up on there sound board.

SQ on a budget (Those words shouldn't be in the same sentence.)

CDTaudio ES-620

Any of the Polk Audio components.

what about Focal 165v components?
I've got them and they rock out well.
i have a 2nd set for sale if you are interested.

Whatever your ears say are the best................your nuts if you spend that kind of money without doing a listening comparison...............

^ Agree totally

^ I disagree, a sound board and the in car sound is different. Its all in the install anyway right? Thats right.

I will add that often times what we look at on the internet isnt possible to get a listen to at a shop. Its hard to think you will be dissapointed with something in that price range if installed right. That leaves brand "identity", looks, and what others think as your criteria hehe. Oh and of course final price.

What Tim said. ^^^^

People always ask what sounds good:dunno: What sounds good is personal taste. Only you can evaluate that.

But for some good quality speakers in your price range...

The Alpine Type X component set SPX177R 6.5" are very accurate and the build quality is very good. I demo'd every speaker I carried and, personally, was most impressed with them.

Take some demo material of your own into your local car audio shops and ask for a demo of speakers your interested in and ask about whether or not the speakers you choose will fit your application and for the love of god don't leave and buy them off the internet. The internet was not there to let you listen to all those speakers and help you make your decision.

Your only about 35% right, the install is going to make a difference on the imaging, staging and maybe the lower end response but it will not make a difference (99%) in the tonality of the speaker, a harsh tweeter is going to be the same in a car or not in a car, the emptiness of a midrange is usually the same.....

I mean it's never a 100% thing but I have NEVER seen a good pair of speaker on a board sound like ass in a car or the reverse........
