Personally I am a Focal, Dynaudio, Morel kind of guy but these are a tad over the $250 budget. In my car atm I have a 3way set of Focal Utopia's running full active on JL slash series amps with Alpine 9887 head unit and the new PXA-H800 processor. I still need to neaten the install and I might start competing in SQ again.

The thing with speakers is that one person can like them but another will hate them, go listen to a few sets in your budget and choose that way.

Might want to have a look at Eclipse speakers, these are priced well and sound OK. Pretty sure Northfield car sound has them.

If interested as well, I have an old set of POLK EX series 2 that you can have cheap.

bringing this up again.
officialy fried my speakers today. had them smoking.... to much juice through them
what do you think of these options. the amp i use is below. i use 2 channels bridged for the sub, and the other 2 channels for the front splits.

what speakers??? i was thinking the kickers

petes-aquarium · Sep 1, 2011

Go have a listen and get what you like the sound off, the best looking speakers don't always sound the best. Try to get some prices on these.... Eclipse

Out of the ones listed the Alpine type S ones you should be able to get a good deal on them, new model should be out.... Alpine

How often do you change the speakers Pete?

petes-aquarium · Sep 1, 2011

Lately not very often. I used to compete in SQ comps, can't be arsed anymore. Plus the Focals still sound great.... :)

petes-aquarium · Sep 1, 2011

Woofer Esotar² 650
Midrange Esotar² 430
Tweeter Esotar² 110

What are those ones worth?

petes-aquarium · Sep 1, 2011

from memory about $3K.

Jaycar splits are great for its price. The tweeters can be a little harsh depending on what your playing. But otherwise great mid-range and they should be within your budget.

Otherwise spend an extra 200 and get some awesome hertz hsk 165 splits :) Incredible mid-bass and just sounds clean.

Best advice I can give you is to sound deadended your door. This will be best audio mod you can EVER DO!!!

I was going to go that route in my next car, I can't see myself keeping this car to long so I was thinking something cheap that doesn't sound to bad , I won't be pulling them out when I sell the car,

Why mess with what works? Utopias are still, to this day, the nicest speakers I've ever heard. There's more neutral sounding sets out there, sure, but there's just something to the Utopias that I find makes listening a more pleasurable experience. What head unit are you driving them with?

I have heard martys s15 and wow was amazed!!! This was 2 years ago and from memory he had Utopias as well.

Currently running an Alpine 9887 with a PXA-H800 processor, 2x JL 300/4 and a JL 1000/1 for my ID MAX 12 Sub.

Sidd · Sep 6, 2011

How you liking those ID max subs.. Heard great things about them.
What sort of music do you mainly listen too?

Thinking of picking up another hertz sub.
