I thought you got my shoutbox link to http://www.realmofexcursion.com/

I've been using that place for years! Best place for car audio around.

And I thought you saw my shoutbox about Infinity Comp set, I just can't remember the model #, I will look for it on Crutchfield, but I've always had my eye on them, they are beautiful sounding; amped and matted.

Ok so heres the deal, im ditching my sub because i find myself needing a trunk more and more these days but id still like to have some bass still. Ive been running my current components which are JL TR 6.5" on my Alpine 9835 which is about 26wrms. If i turn mediaxpander on (which i know is crap for SQ but i was just curious) they have some decent punch to them. So i was thinking if maybe i found a good set of components and amp'd them i could get some decent bass still.

My doors are completed covered in dynamat so no rattles or holes to worry about (i had a good deal on dynamat at the time so i did the whole car lol, but anyways...)

Still rocking the Alpine 9835 for the head unit. Just got to find a set (or 2) of 6.5" Components and a amp to go with.

Here is what i was thinking for a general idea

1. Get a real nice set of components for the front (~$400) and an amp and just run the fronts

2. Get a real nice set of components for the front (~$400) and move my JL TRs to the rear doors (same size) and amp all 4

3. Get a decent set of components for the front and rear doors and amp both (~$200 each pair)

I know have at least 2.75" of depth to work with, possibly more but i can confirm for now i have at least that.

RE AUDIO XXX 6.5" Came to mind but i wasnt sure and of course they are lots of other brands to consider. And then an amp which i have no clue on, ive been out of the loop for a while.

And last i know im not gonna get super awesome bass but ive heard some factory systems and while they sounded like crap in the SQ dept they had some decent output so im hoping i can at least do that

thoughts?

I would definitely look into option 2.

That's what I would do, and I am an audiophile.

my only concern with that is that the 2 sets of components may not blend well if they are vastly different?


got any suggests for speakers to check out?

Depends just how fussy you are - I tend not to listen to stuff that has a lot of strong bottom end, so I just replaced the 4 OEM crap speakers in my car with some Pioneer 3 way 6 1/2"s (didn't use the OEM tweeters) - about US$450 for the speakers and Kenwood head unit and friends quite impressed with them, especially for the money, when I play stuff like Pink Floyd.
However, I tend to have it as background rather than for 'listening' as, IMO, a car really isn't the environment for it.
