Speakers: Infinity or Polk?
I want to replace the 4 OEM speakers in my non-Bose system with either Infinity Reference 6002i or Polk db650.
I can get the Infinitys for around $60/pair in Etronics. Crutchfield have the Polks at $99/pair but you can get the second pair for 1/2 price until the end of this week. So it is really a $30 difference for two pairs. Specs are pretty close. I'm leaning towards the Polks but I need a second opinion.
BTW, I'm going to be using the OEM headunit to drive them.
Thanks

1) Don't go to crutchfield. They're expensive. Try doing searches online and i guarentee you'll find the same exact speakers for a cheaper price.
Infinity and Polk are both great speakers. I like them both. You might want to consider mb quart. They're very nice speakers. I have 2 pairs of qsd 216 mb quart in my car and they sound great.
You can't go wrong with both...

Slick, they are both coax. I thought of putting comps up front, to replace the A pillar tweeters altogether but I'm a little bit concern with being able to fit the woofers at the doors and installing the x-overs that most comp systems require. I want to make the installation as simple as possible because I want to do it myself. I don't know of any decent installers in my area and I don't want to risk my interiors by going to places like Circuit City or Best Buy.
So I was hoping that replacing the OEM speakers with decent coax would suffice.

components are when the tweeter is separate from the midrange driver. coaxials are when the tweetr is connected to the midrange. for front stages typically a comp set is used, for the back (rear fill) coaxes are used.

I am going to get CDT CL-6x for the rear and CL-61a components for the front. I have an Alpine 9805 HU. At this time I am not going to use an Amp. Where woud you sugest to put xovers? Any thoughts on how to correctly wire the fronts and how to properly install the tweeters.
Thanks a lot.
