jesus, www.reaudio.com don't know why nobody did that before..

i've got focal polyglass components and they have great sound quality, absolutely beautiful midbass, although they don't get incredible loud. Still, they can be had for like, 200 bucks, and i say it's worth it especially if you're going SQ.

 

For $400 bucks you could look for CDT, Focal Polykevlar, MQ QSD, Diamond Hex and etc on ebay. All great choices. Maybe get lucky and snag some Utopas, DLS Iridiums or Seas Performance.

From $250-$400 goes a LONG way in an SQ difference with components. A $150 difference in amps and other electric stuff is nothing compared to it.

 

i put infinity kappa series 6.5 wth componet in the front of my box, and infinity in the back and 10 inch infinty sub in the back, all running off mtx amps and i think it sounds great,i even kept the stock stero and it sounds awesome! this is my first time buying infinity products and i have no complaints! they make great speakers and subs

thanks for the input guys..........does anyone know FOR SURE what size the front door speakers and rear panel speakers are??? crutchfield is saying they're both 5.25"

 

Crutchfield is wrong. The front is 6.5" and the rear is a little bigger than 5.5. I made MDF speaker plates for the front and rear and put 6.5" components in the front and 5.8" components in the rear.

 

Chef Is correct. Crutchfield is ___. lol

 

thanks

 

Awesome....

And just another suggestion here....what I've got...Elemental Designs eDi 6500s components. They floor the JL XR line....and yes, I've done a side by side comparison of them. Plus, the eD subs are dirt cheap and sound great as well.

If you wanna check them out, click on the ads for this forum...looks like they sponsor the ICE portion of Scion life.

And, if I've got time....door panel comes off tonight to see if I can get my eDi's in :D

 

front is 6.3", rear is 5.25" if I remember correctly on the rear.

 

Check out the M661 Diamond Audio Components. I just got them in, but gotta wait for the tax refund to hit, so I can get my whole system put in. Can't wait.

 

So does that mean the 5.25 diamond audio I bought for the front won't fit?

 

Did you get 5.25" for your fronts on the xB?

If so they'll work if you make an MDF(wood) ring to hold them.

 

I got them for my tc.

 

make a mounting bracket out of some MDF and they'll fit.....

 

Usually are there major differences in the sound quality of the 5.25 and the 6.5 of the same series of a component set? Also, how would you guys think my car would sound if I had components in the front and mid of my car. I was thinking of putting the 5.25 in the mid panel, with the tweeters mounted somewhere. And then buying another 6.5 to put in the front.

 

For clarification, they're 6.3" in the front and 5.5" in the rear. Thr front tweeters are 1.2" if you need that also. That's straight out of the tC service manual. To go with VtScionGuy's recommendations also check out Morel, Rainbow, Dynaudio, ADS, Image Dynamics. and Phoenix Gold Ti Elites. If you're up for it and want the best bang for your buck you can always go DIY and put together custom components too.

 

How much does the shop usually charge for installing your entire system? I will supply the front and back speakers, amp, and all the wires. I just need them to install it for me. I know different shops charge different prices but I just need an estimation so I won't have a heart attack when they tell me the numbers.
