Component Set

[JoshDank]

Hey Serious,
I have an 8 speaker system stock in my GTi. I want to replace the speakers, but I don't want to run an amp. My aftermarket HU is 50 watts peak per channel (probably around 18-20 RMS). Is there any component set I could replace the stock speakers with? If not, are there any mid/bass drivers that might work? My tweeters sound good, but I definitely want to replace the mid/bass drivers. Stock size is 6.75", but I can make 6.5's work. Let me know what ya got.Thanks

I do sell seperate mid-bass compnent speakers. BUT, most require a custom install or door pod. They are too deep to install into regular doors. One brand has a 6" mounting depth. They are also high in price. They are sold as individual "subs" and go for around $40 each. I would recommend just buying a regular component set and just using the woofer. It will save you money in the long run.

What is your budget to include shipping?

[JoshDank]

Let me know what you have that is cheap, but good quality. Like I said, I don't want to have to run an amp, so I know that will rule out a lot of my options. I'm not sure on my budget at the moment... it all depends on when (and for how much) I sell some things I have posted on a couple forums.

Phoenix Gold V65C $75 shipped

[JoshDank]

That's for one set, or two?
I'll let you know when I have the cash

[SeRiousZX2]

Thats for 1 complete set.

(2) 6.5" Mid-bass speaker
(2) Tweeters
(2) X-Over networks

For 2 sets, it would be $140 shipped.

[JoshDank]

true. I'll let you know

[SeRiousZX2]

I came across some nice 6.5 midbass component subs. They are PowerBass (which I love and endorse) for $30 each. I forgot the part number. I'll get that to you tomorrow.

[JoshDank]

That sounds interesting. Definitely let me know the model number when you find it. Thanks.

PowerBass 4XL6592

4XL Series is thier "top of the line" stuff.

These 6.5" Mid-bass Drivers feature:

200 watts max
100 watts RMS
Hybrid carbon cone
92 dB spl (which is loud for a 6.5" speaker) There are subs that can't do this.
35 oz Ferrite magnet (which is large for this size speaker)
2" voice coil (which is extremely large for a 6.5" speaker)

For a set it would be $60

I know this might be a dumb question, but is the power bass gonna have to be replaced in 6months to a year? It's hard to believe that a setup that cheap is great quality. Not knocking them, cause I don't them. I am not trying to be rude either. If they are worth it I may pick a pair up at that price. And it is very difficult to get a set that runs at 92db at a cheap price. And i like my music loud.

I am also a hard-core pioner/premier fan. Will I be disappointed?

don't doubt the SeRious ;] he's never disappointed me with his recommendations

First, don't ever rate a speakers quality by its price. :winkyface:

Second, I offer these "at cost", not retail. Retail on a set of the 4XL6592 for example is $160. Just because a company sells them for $60 doesn't mean they are crap. If it would make you feel better, I could charge you full retail. :beernana:

Pioneer tends to be a little more high in the vocals than PB. Both have thier advantages/disadvantages. I am an authorized Pioneer dealer as well.

[lilzx2]

Sorry, don't think I was doggin you or your product. And I agree, the Pioneers are a lot higher on their vocals than most. And I really don't want to pay retail.:eeek: LOL. Do you offer the Premier series of pioneer? If so, I am wanting a price on the 10" 1200wt Chamion series sub.

[SeRiousZX2]

I wasn't offend at all and understand totally what you were saying. Sorry if it came across wrong.

If you are refering to the TS-W257D2/D4 then yes. But they are rated at 1000 watt for 10". The 12s are rated at the 1200 watts.

Anyways those are $60 + S/H

[lilzx2]

My bad. What about the TS-W2501D2? And the 8" shallow sub?

[SeRiousZX2]

Aw, you are referrin to the Champion-PRO Series. Remember there are 3 different Champion series. I'll get you some prices and get back with you.

[lilzx2]

Yep! And thanks.

[deadbuzzard]

Hey serious, I have some eclipse in the front and was wondering what you would recommend to replace the stock rear speakers. Something good but not super high in price.

[SeRiousZX2]

Start a seperat thread and we will discuss it.
