Im trying to find a pair of speakers to place into my 2k3 rear stock speakers. I was online searching for infinity and audiobahn, because to me those are awesome brands.

I found these.
AUDIOBAHN AS65Q and INFINITY KAPPA 63.5I.
They are both three way speakers, but the infinities are almost double the price of the audiobahn speakers? Does anyone know why? Does audiobanhn suck?

-Specs for Audiobahn AS65Q-
MAX POWER: 240 WATTS EACH SPEAKER 480 WATTS TOTAL
RMS POWER: 120 WATTS EACH SPEAKER 240 WATTS TOTAL
Chrome Plated Basket
Black Carbon Fiber Cone
Butyl Rubber Surround
2 Layer High-temp Voice Coil
4 Ohm Impedance
Tweeter Protection Circuit
18 oz. Magnet
Frequency Response: 50Hz-20kHz
Sensitivity: 94dB

-Specs for Infinity Kappa 63.5i-
Power Handling: 75 Watts RMS
Power Handling: 225 Watts PEAK
Frequency Response(3dB): 45Hz - 22kHz
Sensitivity: 90dB
Impedance: 4 Ohms
Mounting Depth: 2-3/16"


Not much difference. On sound domain, the infinities are 179.99/pair and I found the audiobahns for 99.99/pair

any feedback is appreciate, since I am planning on getting audiobahncomponents for my front stock speakers and tweeters.

 

from personal experience with audiobahn subs and amps they are just awsome for a fraction of the cost of other brands

I plan on dropping on 6.5" audiobahn speakers in my car (and of course power then with a 4 channel audiobahn amp)

edit: I thought the AS65Qs were only 100 rms?

 

cdt cl6x's for about $50 shipped at thezeb.com.

 

which will sound much better i should add

 

so these CDT CL-6Xs are better than the audiobahn and infinity? If they are, im ordering them now...

 

oh yeah... are these good components? Audiobahn ABC6002Q. ANd If i were to get the CDTs and a component set, would a 4 channel RF AMP be able to power all the speakers... Im not planning on getting a sub yet, so hopefully one amp can power all the speakers for now.

 

i would take infinity over audiobahn anyday.

 

id get cdt cl61a's instead of the audiobahn components also.

 

infinity kappas sound real good

here is a link for $115

i wouldnt go with abahn or infinity. stick with CDT, JL, Alpine.

 

yeah, im considering the CDTs... they might look weird in color, but performance is key.

 

the thing is.. its not weird unless you look at the cl6x or the cl61's bright red color. its just a darker color thats all. and if the speaker is in your door who cares anyway.

 

ok now that I got the speakers? Which amp is sufficient enough to run these speakers?? Im looking into RF, and JBL .... note, im sticking to a stock HU. =)

 

jbl 180.2 is plenty of power. those speakers only need like 50 watts to get very loud according to cdt.

 

hey rick, i was thinking about getting a multi channel amp. to power up the rear speakers, and the front CDT components. Any multi-channel amp recommendations??

if you had an aftermarket h/u id say get a 2 channel amp and leave the rears off the h/u. but i dont remember how my cdts in the back sounded with the stock h/u so a 4 channel should do you well.

 

or...

edit: that amp is a good amp but at that website they are sold out of it.

 

polk momo has a good sound even better nd good mids if you amp them

 

A really good and cheap 4 channel is a US Acoustics 4065/4085.

hard to find them though.

found the US accoustics 4065 for 129.99.... but Ill compare to the JBL -80.5 before I make my purchase... thanks again guys.

 

If you want even better, and your willing to pay big money for the perfect sound (wich you WILL get) then you could concider taking speakers from Micro-Precision



Speakers are hand made in europe for people that expect the best (like me ), and I have to admit, I have an AWESOME sound in my car. Crystal clear sound! However, it's hand made and the price show's that pretty obvious... so it's all about what you want.

The 3 series from MP aint that expensive and sounds damn good to, then you have the 5 series, the 7 series wich sounds so damned sweet you´ll don´t wanna leave your car anymore. And if it wasn´t enough you could get the Z series, but that´s only interesting if your a milionaire with ears as sensitive as a dog
