I'm looking at a budget of ~$250...what's my best option and where to buy?

 

Talk to Don(e)

He'll Chime in s00n

 

i'll definitely look to him come purchase time, but i'm also trying to get the feedback of others.

 

Kappa Perfects: very bright on the tweeter side (good thing to me)

MB Quarts PCE12: I have these, I think they are great, make sure u get a sub though. The voice matches up great with it.

Alpine SPR-17S Type Rs: good for the price, They have alot of thump.

but yeah, those are about $200 a pair. I hope your adding an amp.

 

SLC's /thread.

 

I have the kappa perfects, yeah tweets are really high....for me too high i like more vocal/mid bass (hip hop music) but i dont wanna spend money to change them out. P how about rainbows?

 

i already have a sub. i already have components, too...but they don't satisfy me, so i'm gonna sell them and look for something better. i've had the Alpine type-rs and they're wayy too flat for me....i need my music a bit brighter.

 

are they really the best option? what mainstream product are they comparable to?

 

Um they aren't really comparable to mainstream products the components they match up with are much higher in price than whats available mainstream.

 

to SLCs.

 

damn...are they really that good?

 

SLCs or Hertz Energy both will suit your needs..

 

SLC's FTW..

 

forgive me if i'm mistaken, but aren't SLC's coax?

 

No sir, SLC are components. SLs are coaxials.

 

oops, nevermind. slc are the component, sl's are coax

i've never heard hertz, can anyone else vouch for them? (although i know that Don's word is bond)

 

pm sent. 9 10

 

Can't go wrong with Hertz or SLC.

 

i think i may stray from the pack and get hertz, but i dunno where to get 'em

 

FROM DON, duh

 

blah...changed my mind and got the SLC's

don

 

you wont be dissapointed.

curious though, why did you feel the need to upgrade? you had the bostons amped right?

 

yes, they were amped. they were definitely an improvement from the stock bose and better than most people's speakers that i have heard....but being the audiophile i am, i always felt that the tweeters weren't bright enough and there was practically NO midbass. any sort of bass to these speakers would seriously stress them out and i felt that this always threw off my soundstaging.

 

SLC's have AWESOME midbass and the tweet gets pretty loud... swap'em fo cal25's in the future and you're set.

 

Does your budged include an amp? because you gotta have one, it makes all the difference.

 

SLC FTW! I've had them in my car for about 3 weeks now and I love them.

 

I have some Polk db components, would the SLC's be a nice upgrade?

any specs on them?

 

SLC's are a big upgrade from the Polks.

 

really? man I thought my polks sounded pretty good..

 

thats what I said with my CDT's...

 

SLC's for sure. IMHO, one of the best sounding speakers in your price range. I have installed them before, you are sure to love them. And +1 to the cal25 upgrade in the future. Pretty much comparable to the Contours I had.

 

I like listening to pretty loud music...will these satisfy my needs amplified? I wont feed them any lows, I have subs

 

Cross'em at around 75-80 hz and let'em ****, you'll get gobs of midbass from them.

 

i believe mine are around 70. If you're careful, you can get plenty of midbass..
