6.5 coaxial
Hey all,
I know I am going to get some varying answers and suggestions to listen but really look for some guru opinions. I am looking for a nice set of 6.5 coaxial for a front door install. They will be amped amd looking around the 300 dollar range (or less is better!). Reason I want coaxial is there is no factory tweeter location and don't want thje tweeters mounted far away from the driver. I think coaxial is the way to go. Any advice and suggestions is really appreciated. Thanks |
Alpine Type R are always a good bet. You could also probably get something from Hybrid Audio as well. Also there's Hertz Hi-Energy, Focals etc.
Lots to pick from. |
I'd go with JBL Power series P662...
give this a read as well.... http://www.canadiancaraudio.com/onli...es-6-5-vs.html |

300 bucks is tuff - most product at that price will need the crossovers reworked to help them out etc...
Here's how it works - 300.00 retail = aprox. 180.00 cost to your local dealer = your dealers wholesaler pays around 108.00 the manufacturer has between 25-35.00 in their COG's, cost of goods etc... So with this understanding $300.00 retail speaker system is really a 25-50.00 system max at production - that includes their overhead - take that out you have the actual hard cost which even lower that your not buying much audio... Now the manufacturing cost between a 150.00 MSRP & 300.00 MSRP is only about 10.00 and most of that 10.00 is found in crossover upgrade - with very little of it gooding into the drivers - i'd say 80/20 at these proce points. So here's what you need to consider doing, find a decent quality coax and build a custom external crossover. Look to spend about 150.00 on the speakers and the same on the crossover components... 12-caps 6-coils 8-resistors These will allow us to build a 12dB lowpass, 18dB highpass, zobel netwrok for the tweeter, a notch filter for the tweeter - and an L-pad to balance the driver efficencies between the mid-bass and tweet. I will help you design the crossovers... in the end for the same 300.00 you will have a system that will compete with those coming in at no less than 3x the cost, in terms of tonal quality... Send me a PM if you want more insight. |
^^^^ the man
