ok i happened to stumble upon some infinity and sony open box buys at a local shop, both are 2 way 5 1/4 inch.

none of them have grilles which is fine i am trying to keep the illusion of being stock and alot of the times grilles look like crapo any way

which would be better?

 

im a huge fan of infinity..... in my opinion sony car audio isnt the greatest

 

More like, Sony car audio is just plain bad...

 

the sony speakers sounded muddy to me compared to the infinitys ne way

 

sony is quite kunty

 

that the poop is "kunty"

what comes to mind is not a nice image, im not sure i want that in my doors

 

i dont know about you guys, but my past experiences with sony are horrible. Ive never owned one myself, but friends going the cheap way buying them have not been a good decision. They burnout easily and are not really reliable for years to last. I would personaly go with infinity all the way

 

There are also a lot of no-frills brands out there, that are really good.. just do some research before u go and just buy anything. good luck

 

Infinity hands down...

 

SONY is crap!

 

i think he now realizes how much sony really does suck

 

Infinity generally beats out sony in car audio, but im bias (kappa 3-ways all the way)

 

nooooooo i accidentally voted for sony i would take Infinity always over sony

 

Infinity Reference or Kappa over Sony any day!!

 

Ok, here is a very informed opinion. Since infinity doesn't make headunits expect for OEM dodge and such, go with Pioneer. I have been running two different Pioneer headunits for 6.5 years, absolutely no problem. And for speakers, PLEASE! Infinity no doubt, you should but whisper the word "Sony" when you mention Infinity.

 

But does Infinity really make the source units...doubt it. They are probably buying pre-made source units from the same source as Clarion and Pioneer. They may make the speakers though and just tag the rest of the system as Infinity. A lot of automobile makers do this. I doubt Bose made all of the components for Nissan. Not in their best interest. OK, I've gone off on a tangent. Pioneer for source unit and Infinity for speakers.....I'll keep quiet now.

 

DONT GET SONY!!! I tested one out at best buy, and after 22 on the volume meter they died...

 

Infinity all the way. After Infinity I would go Diamond of Focal, but otherwise their speakers are the by far the best bang for the buck.

Also if you can muster it, go 6.5"

 

i'm trying to keep the stock look. having the grilles stick out of the doors always looked like **** to me.

i also need to buy about a acre of dynamat too

 

not even close sony









but if you want quality ill have to pick infinity

 

dont even waste your time with sony, their car audio blows. Get the infinity and u will be very pleased.

i have well had a sony amp.. lets just say 5 months and it just blew owell.

 

the numbers speak the truth
