best sounding 5 1/4 Coaxials

Hey guys ive got a 2004 Jeep Wrangler as a 2nd vehicle and i just threw in a Pioneer deck and it has 5 1/4 in pods on the roll cage and im making adapter plates to get 5 1/4's in the dash at the front....

changeing speaker sizes is not an option as this is a tight squeeze at the front as it is...also i dont wanna rig up compnants as its just a Jeep....nor am i going to be running a 4 channel as there is no place to put it where it won't get submerged in water.....i use it for some pretty extreme offroad....

so what would everyones choice be as the best 5 1/4 coaxial speakers in terms of volume but more inportantly good bass response as i wont have any subs....

any help much appretiated....right now im looking at alpine type s because i have the exact speakers in my car and they sound alright just wodnering if anyhting else has a bit better bass....

In my opinion a better speaker is going to be the Morel Tempo 5 coax. Morel Loudspeakers

Out of 5.25" drivers?.....short answer is no....any audible difference will vanish as soon as you start the Jeep.......

Best thing you can do is hit the loudness button and live with it....sorry......

for a Jeep I would consider marine speakers as they should have the best chance of survival in the elements

went through the same thing in my sister-in-laws TJ. My suggestion is pick something in name-brand line (alpine, pioneer, RF, etc) at a price point you like because you're not going to get a whole lot of good sound; especially with the top down. sorry.

yeah..jeeps are bloody loud inside. I'd get the loudest/decent sounding ones and give them lots of power. Infinity kappas get loud, and the extra brightness from the tweeters would be welcomed in such a noisy vehicle.

well thanks for the replies guys....i didn't wanna spend too much so i ended up gtting the basic pionners for the rear and alpine type s for the front would have went full pionner but Future shop only had 1 pair of each and i wanted to get it done that day becuase i had the time....sounds much much better than the stock speakers!, i also got my stock center subwoofer going agian so the bass issue is no longer an issue!

sounds soooo Much better!
