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 a listen to the Hybrid Imagine's or the JBL's.

You can the the JBL C608GTi MKII for under $250 on ebay.

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.
