Good car speaker systems?

durnt

I recently just purchased an Alpine deck, and now im looking to get some new speakers for my car. I dont know a lot about speaker systems, and I was wondering what you would all recommend. Im hoping to spend under 300$ for equipment, but if a little extra gets me a substantial boost in quality ill consider it.

Answer
Speakers ae very subjective, and of personal preference, i may like something that you hate and visa versa. i would recommend going to a good car audio shop and take a listen, take a favorite cd, and test drive the speakers. for 300 you should be able to get some decent speakers all around. once you find a brand model you like, you could then shop online to find the best deal, woofers etc, is one place that has great values. you could also look at Crutchfield, they supply great directions and free harnesses for your vehical, so do it yourself is real easy when buying from them. I would stay away from best buy and the likes, typically thier stuff is overpirced for what it is.
since you asked for brand i feel obligated to through out a few names for you, but i still urge you to take a listen before you buy.

Boston acoustic
Diamond Audio
image dynamics
MB quart

These are names that are less mainstream, but i assure you they are serious about car audio. Also keep in mind that round speakers typically distort less and sound cleaner that the same series in a oval shape, however ovals can produce more bass in tight areas.


Hope that helps, and good luck.

Bose speaker system for a car?

qwerty12

I just got a 2007 toyota camry, everything stock. I love the sound of bose speakers for home use, but does bose sell speakers for a car? If so where can you buy them, and do they even sound good? Thanks

Answer
yes they sell car speakers
they are hard to find in stores and on the web, because all of their speakers are "designed" for specific car applications, and are "tuned" for specific cars by their placement (sound stage)
they sound good but are over priced for what you get, your best bet would be to look into JL Audio (over priced) or Infinity components (not full range, 2 ,3 ,or 4way speakers- you want the tweeter separate from the mid bass driver for best sound quality)
here is a link to their website http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_STATIC_PAGE_EVENT&url=/automotive/index.jsp

How loud can I play my car speakers without risking blowing them out?

speaker system for a car image

Simple car, simple speaker system.

I don't understand how speakers work and why the blow, so to protect my investment I want to know how far I can reasonably push them.

Answer
If the volume on the car goes to 30, turn it up to about 25 at the max. If the sound starts to distort, then you know you are doing damage to the speaker.

How necessary is a subwoofer for metal music in my car?

I have fully upgraded my speaker system in my car. head unit, back speakers and front speakers. everything sounds fantastic, but the bass is a little weak. I can get heavy bass out of it, but that makes the treble sound murky. I was thinking of getting two 8" for the double bass from the drums. Any opinions?
An example of the music I listen to is A Day to Remember. They have alot of bass in their songs

Answer
A single 8" or even 10" subwoofer in a sealed enclosure will do you just fine for your ride. The bass will be clean and quick responding, deending on what kinda sub your gonna be running along with what kind of amp.
