JL vs MB Quart vs HERTZ + Clarion Subwoofer
First off I'll say I'm purchasing used and as of right now, these are the choices I've found:
-JL C5-525x [5.25"] (coaxials) for $250, supposedly 'new' -MB Quart QM160 with MCX160 crossovers [6.5"] (components) for $200 -HERTZ Energy EV130 [5.25"] (components, not sure of crossovers or tweeters) for $150, 'mint' -Clarion PFW1051 [10" shallow] (subwoofers) two of them for $100 each, 'new in box' These would be going into a '95 Corolla, it only has two front door speakers (4") and no rear deck. The factory speakers are failing and the aftermarket deck isn't that great (in it when I bought it). Thinking of putting a Kenwood KDC-X996 head unit in it (owned an X995 on my previous vehicle and I was pleased with it). The speakers will possibly be amplified but I haven't decided yet, and I don't have an amplifier for the subwoofer yet - still deciding. I was wondering on opinions of any of these speakers for sound quality, I don't need anything amazing but I do have a bit of a budget here at around $550-$600 (HU, wiring/time, and sub enclosure isn't included in the budget). Included in the budget would be a pair of speakers (components or coaxials, either or), a subwoofer (nothing amazing but I'd like something that's not just loud - more so sound quality orientated), and an amplifier which I'd determine later on. If anyone can suggest something better that would fit in my budget it would be appreciated! |
Go with components before coaxials if possible go with 6.5" but 5 1/4 will do fine. coaxials will be fine for the rear.
for a smaller install go with a single sealed 12 instead of dual 10's to save space, money and weight. preference in music? where are you located and looking for your gear? |
