well I have been looking at 6x9 inch speakers for my pickup, to put in enclosures behind the seat. Now the speakers I have been looking at are pioneer 5 way's for like ~90 bucks. are pioneers any good what about these specific speakers?

Now for a deck, I have heard the eclipse has some good models. also Kenwood. But I am undecided.

any info would be apreciated.

actually you said this. it mention enclosures. then I gave you my opinion. this you said something stupid. you could have said that you preferred coaxials or car audio speakers. but you said that the speakers I posted were crap when they alway gave you more bass, then what you bought.

I don't knock what you do. most people will opt for coaxial's because they don't know that they are junk. most people's eye get big when they hear something like pioneer 5 ways. I just got ****ed at your "they are crap" comment.

my and my next door neighbor drove 90 miles to parts express earlier this year in February. we both have just bought '97 green blazers (his is a different color though). I bought 2 midbass driver for my doors (that cost me 20 bucks a a pair). he bought a pair of phoenix gold coaxial that cost him 200 buck for his doors, even though I told him not to do it. he thought like you. that car audio speaker were the shiznit and that I was steering him to junk

well the first thing that he notice when we got home and hooked our system up was that his factory speaker sounded better than his new setup (it had consisted of 2 seriously cheap delco 6 1/2 midrange drivers in the door and 2 delco tweeters in the dash). despite what you think, coaxials give a weak thinny sound. he finally upgrade to my 2 cheap midbass speakers

if you are happy with your setup fine. that's cool. I alway give this advice even though I know that most people will reject it, until they hear it. but don't you dare diss it. if you spent 20 buck and 2 minutes just to experiment, you would know immediately what I'm talking about. it's not rocket science

When I opted with the 6 1/2 rounds ( because of your help) I looked around in my truck and found good places behind the truck doors and found good places for some round speakers. But I am in the same boat as most people with coaxial speakers.

Now I am sorry to call those crap, but what did you expect me to do. I am not a audio expert, just someone trying to put some decent speakers in my truck. Now I thought you were kidding or something. becuase like I said I didnt know better

those links eric b gave you from parts express are some good speakers not too sure bout goldwood but i have no experience with them so im not gonna comment...

i highly recommend the first link that eric b gave you the tang band woofer. i bought one of those to replace the sub that came with my logitech x-530 and it sounds so much betterr. do realize that it is a pretty high excursion sub so watch out if youre going to place a grill over it.

that's cool. I kinda always get that response. usually it's in person though, where I can show the guy the difference by physically place the speaker in the spot

[lancec2c30]

ya I dont know if it would fit, because this speaker in there now is close enough as it is. If those you suggested have a bigger magnet or an more depth they might not fit. But I am kinda understanding what you mean about those speaker you suggested being pretty good. Because all like home theater equipment doesn't say "with 4in. infiniti speakers" and such. And there is no problems with the audio on those.


I am thinking when I get some more money in I might invest in the tang band 8 in. sub.

[lancec2c30]

Now I got to looking at that sub some more and it said it needed an enclosure size of .86 cu ft.. That is a lot of airspace for a 8in. sub!!!

Is it really true?? or can I run them in something smaller.

[EricB]

I use bass Box pro which usually come up with better boxes. I get a .456 cu. ft. box for high output and great fidelity

[lancec2c30]

Now is that for a ported box, or sealed enclosure?

[EricB]

that is ported. the speaker has an epb of 97 which means that it works best in a ported box

speakers with epb of 50 or less are seal box woofers. speakers with epb of 100 or more are ported woofers. I have some Kove Armageddon's that have epb of 75, which mean I can go either way

[lancec2c30]

o ok, now does the port need to be like 2in x 8in. or so? Did you pay the $130 for that bass box pro??
