Choices of speakers

[MartyP]

Hi !
I just bought a new radio unit, and I'm installing it today.

Next step will be the speakers in week or 2 !

For the front 3.5'' I have these choices:
1- JBL GTO328
2- Kicker KS35
3- Pioneer TS-A878

As for the rear 4 x 10:
1- Pioneer TS-A4103
2- Kicker KS-410

I havent seen anything else in 4x10 sizes.

They all seem to be in the same price range and watts.Just wondering wich is a better quality.

def. get the JBL's for the front

Agreed, I have the JBL's for the front and they work well.

While I agree the JBLs are probably a better speaker, my inclination woul be towards voice matching. The problem with buying the JBLs is figuring out what to match them with for the rears. By sticking with the same manufacturer, and in this case same model line (the TS series from Pioneer), you have some assurance that the manufacturer intended the speakers to work together to create a more complete sound field.

On a side note, and I cannot say for certain as I've never physically seen them, the Pioneer tweeter may have a center driver that sticks above the mounting flange. Could be an issue for insatll.

Just my 2 cents.

BTW, I have Boston fronts and they're OK but I have yet to replace my rears which are original and blown. I'm going to order the front and rear set of Pioneers from Amazon. I'll let you know how it works out.

Just installed the Kicker 4x10's in the rear, and for the size speaker they are, they actually sound awesome. Nice kick and bass. Plus it drowns out the engine noise quite nicely. Which are these:

In the front's I did Kicker 3.5", also amazing sound.

And for the deck, I chose Alpine with Pandora Sync. so everytime that I get in the car, the radio automatically syncs up to Pandora. Has USB connectivity, IPOD, AUX Input, CD

MY deck is a Pioneer DEH-7300 BT (bluetooth). sounds great even with the old Craig speakers !!!

How about the Infinity 3032CF for the front ? any good ? cost about the same as the JBL !

Right now, I' think I'm gonna go with either this setup:

front: JBL GTO328
rear: Kicker KS-410

or a complete Pioneer set front: TS-A878 & rear TS-A4103

Any more info on each speakers is appreciated before I finally order in 2-3 days !!!!

Did you need to power the speakers with an amp to get good bass or they really don't need it to get some good bass?

[sphiend]

Those are them - that's the only place I could find them too. But we only need 4, not 25

And, I just realized that store has a $15 minimum order, so we could buy 75 of them to make that....

So did anyone order these and try them with the Infinity front speakers? The speakers look to get positive reviews but I do not have a DMCH dash. Assuming I would need the extenders.

Might be willing to place the $20 order and resell 2 of the packs to those who need them.

I need some too.

Just got my infinity's in yesterday.

I'll buy 4 off whoever makes the order.

+1 - I'll order some off anyone willing to make the big order.
