Hey guys I currently have a RF 400.4 and I am running MB Q disscuss series components. The problem is these speakers sound terrible in my car, they can't hold any power and the sound is just WAY to tiny for me. I want speakers that sound real good with my 400 or so watts, I want a nice full range sound that does not need a subwoofer.

I looked around and it seems like people like Infinity speakers in general and it looks like the infinity perfects are the highest class of the bunch.

I also have some kicker resolution components handging around from a few years back. These speakers are way to tiny sounding too, I want something that sounds better then these. Do you think the infinity speakers will sound better? BTW I know how to adjust the amp and all and I use to run a MTX cross over so I don't think tuneing them is the problem.

Thanks a lot for any help, I really don't want to make another big splurge on crappy sounding speakers. BTW I can get these speakers for $270 shipped, anyone know anywhere cheaper?

 

Sup Ethan,

The Kappa Perfects are great, but Infinity speakers by nature give out really bright highs . . . so unless you have a subwoofer enclosure to "even" the sound out a bit you'll get the same result as you with the others. Best thing to do is give them a listen though

BTW How does $240 sound :-)

 

I back MB Quart all the way but agree that the Discus line sucks (made in china) and a whole lot of other factors like the cross overs ect.
You are in RI right? Check out Sound FX on Rt. 2 in Warwick they have a lot of high end stuff. One thing.......avoid HYPERFORMANCE at any cost

 

Thanks a lot for the info guys. What do you guys recommend for a really good sounding speakers that have nice midrange and highs? Money is not really a factor.

 

I demo'ed the Diamond Audio M series and they sounded awesome! Have you looked into Focal?

Focals all the way...

Hey I found a 12 inch kicker Comp VR sub in my basement. I had it in my old maxima and explorer a while ago and I completly forgot about it! . It was in a box that was setup for 3 12's so I choped it with my chain saw to make a single 12 box, lol. The most ghetto rigged setup you would ever see! LOL. I pluged it into my amp so it's getting about 300 watts and it sounds really nice. A friend on mine gave me a nice looken 12" box so everything is clean looking now. Next I searched the basement some more and got my hands on a pair of kicker resolution compontent speakers, I put those up front and now my stereo sounds awesome! The funny thing is I had all this good stuff downstairs and forgot about it and mean while I was suffering listening to my crappy MB Q's. I just ordered a 12" Kicker Solobaric L7 and a box, I'm going to take my other 12 out and replace it with this smaller better sounding sub setup

 

Yeah I heard Focal speakers are pretty good too. I'm thinking of getting them.

You guys have any suggestion on which Focal's though?


Btw, money is a factor. Just as long as it's around $300 and under.

 

what kind of head unit do you have???

 

what kind of head unit do you have???

 

Just the oem double din clarion headunit with the tape player and CD player. I tapped the signal from my rear door speakers.

 

The Focal Polyglass I believe is in that range I think that you can get them for about $270. I think the Focals are incredible sounding( a lot of clarity). You can turn them up and it seems like they just ask for more. I have the Polyglass 165V in the rears and they are awesome.
