Try getting a set of Premier tsc-720rs speakers. They can usually be found on ebay for a steal! They're an outstanding set of speakers, and shy of about $600, I wouldn't use anything else. Put the mid in the stock door location, and the tweeter on the angled part of your kickpanel. If you're feeling confident, you can go active and really dial it in!

 

Thank you but im not really looking to spend that amount of money on a set of components.

Does anyone know if the DLS MS6A are any good?

 

i agree! especially about the bolded part. the stock spot for the mid is not bad at all. and tweeters do work very very well in the kick panels in the tc.

just like this...

 

Does anyone know if the DLS MS6A are any good?

 

Yes they are fine speakers for the cash. Not my personal choice but hard to go wrong with them.

 

Are they worth the money though, are they comparable to 6500's?

 

I'm a sound quality freak so I'm thinking on getting these components Polk Audio SR6500 are they worth my $500 to accompany 1 12" w7 ?

 

active or passive?

 

not too sure what passive/active in car audio means, but anyway they gonna be amped 200 Wrms each through crossovers that come with Sr 6500...

 

what kind of sound quality freak are you if you don't know what passive or active means. and how would that differ from any other type of audio scenarios

 

sorry but don't call your self a "sound quality freak" and not know what active means. sorry.

i don't know anything about that set of comps, just do some searching and see what people say about them.

 

those comps can't handle 200w RMS...seen too many blow on that much power. 125w is about as much as you need to give those. the SR6500's are a nice set, a bit laid back....but at 500 bucks, i'd be looking elsewhere.

what are you looking for in a set of speakers? bright or mellow on the top end? lots of midbass or concentration more on the midrange?

 

I don't like too much exaggeration on the sound maybe a little bright, but mostly i'm in to accurate reproduction of sound ( just like studio monitors) thats why i was looking into Sr 6500

 

in a car i think accurate reproduction is all up to how good you can EQ the sound in your car. there are so many factors in a car that a really good EQ is usually needed if you truly want great sound. countless hours of tuning will be needed.

i am one that thinks you should be able to make almost any set sound great in a car if you have the tuning abilities.

 

^^^

agreed but its hard to make a pig into a prom queen so to speak

but yes you need a good source unit with lots of tuning ability. this means the pioneer 880prs or a alpine headunit / h701 combo.

 

Sorry if I looked over it but what is this passive/active?

 

active means ditching the supplied passive crossovers and picking your own crossover points and slopes. it's not for everybody.

 

Thanks. I just got done reading your thread about active front stage or something like that. I guess i'll have to start doing my research while i'm saving my money. I should be pretty well educated by then since I have other stuff to take care of before a system.

 

Ok i went through lots of reviews and i think i've decided on Seas Lotus reference range, but with included passive xovers till i save up money for highly suggested pxa h701
so what u think guys ... good choice or theres better in same class for same money ($750)?

 

dunno where you found the seas references for 750 but yes that is a great set. THe last seas reference set was at 750 but that is now discontinued and impossible to find. the new seas references are 1400
