i was thinking about getting infinity speakers for my car. any suggestions on which model i should get and if its for the front or back part of the car? Below are the models i'm looking at:

Infinity 4" x 6" Car Speakers


Infinity 5-1/4" Car Speakers


Infinity 6" x 8" Car Speakers


Infinity 6" x 9" Car Speakers


Infinity 6-1/2" Car Speakers

 

you could use the 6.5's in the rear but for the fronts, your really going to want to look into a set of components

 

thanks neothin. set of components? sorry i'm new to sounds..

 

those speakers above are known as coaxials. the midbass driver and the tweeter are together at one mounting location. components are separated. the tweeter and the midbass driver are mounted in different locations. this helps out the imaging made by the sound (where the sounds seems to originate from).

 

Component sets also come with crossovers.

 

lol i see so what goes in the front and what goes in the back?

 

coax's in the rear, and components in the front

 

Instead of buying two sets of speakers, you should use the money to buy a set of components. You really don't need any speakers in the back if you are running a good set of components up front.

 

meh, i like a little rear fill. but that's just a personal opinion

 

so i shouldn't get any of these speakers?

 

I think rear fill is over-rated. Even when I had rear speakers I would fade it to the front.

 

i fade forward 2 notches also, but it just sounds weird to not have any sound comming from the rear.

 

would i need an amp for the rear speakers, or can i just run the stock wiring for now?

 

I think it throws of the imaging if you have music coming from the back.

 

Another thing that is good to know when choosing aftermarket speakers is if you plan to amp them or not. Your not going to see a whole lot of improvement if you don't amp them. Then if you plan to do all that, are you going to be getting a new headunit or not. You can run aftermarket speakers with the stock headunit if you want, but if you don't amp the speakers it will probably make it sound worse. So i guess what i'm saying is, if you don't plan on getting a new amp or headunit, then it probably isn't a good idea to get any aftermarket speakers.

 

yeah i plan on getting an amp soon, but i just wanted to collect some ideas before i do anything

 

Well, if you want some really good components, elemental designs 6500 components are some of the best (from what i hear). I don't know what your price range is though.

 

and those components are for the front? well i was planning on getting one of these speakers for free, so i didn't want to miss a good opportunity

 

yea, they work for the front. I personally don't think you need any speakers for the rear though. Right now i'm running some aftermarket front components, and i just have the stock rear speakers in. I have it faded mostly to the front and it sounds just fine.

 

oh ok, thanks for the help everyone
