any car audio people in here?

[smug]

So I want to replace the speakers in my GXP with something nice and have no idea whats good and whats crap. I want to have more of a sound quality setup over just loud garbage. So let hear some suggestions, I was thinking MB Quart, Infinity, and Polk speakers. Also the GXP has 6X9 speakers in the rear deck and 6.5 inch speakers in the front doors.

MB Quarts are GREAT!!!! My bro installed a HUGE stereo in a former co-workers car, all the highs were MB Quart and were crystal clear....could tell how the lows were..... there were 3 10" and 2 12" phoenix gold woofers in there too

IIRC KJ has MB Quart speakers in the front of his GTP and they sounded beyond amazing.

The only problem is how music sounds is more of a personal preference. The type of music you listen to and how you like to hear it is different for each person. I would suggest going to a store and listening to the brands you are interested in and see which brand you like. Different brands have different sounds. Pioneer tends to lean towards the lower frequencies while Kenwood leans more to the high's. Polk Audio and Infinity are very good even range speakers so they produce sound equally across the frequency range.

That being said, I have Polk Audio speakers for the main speakers and Rockford Fosgate for the subwoofer. You can see my stereo system on Polk Audio's website: http://www.polkaudio.com/caraudio/installs/view.php?id=13

I listen to mostly rock music and I would like a nice even range to sound.

I've got Infinity Reference speakers in my car and not only are they cheap as hell but they sound great.

For Polk Audio speakers I would go with the DB691's for the rear and the DB6501's for the front. The DB6501's are seperates so you can install the woofer in the door and the tweeters at the top of the door or on the "A" pillar.

For Infinity's I would use the REF6020CS for the doors (these are seperates as well) and REF9623I for the rear deck.

Moving the tweeters up high in front will increase the front stage and provide a cleaner sound.

that's where I bought my subs and amp. Very good people to deal with especially when it comes to warranty issues.

Favtory Navi

 

[EmersonHart13]

I have it too...

I almost wish I would have gone for the car without it and just bought an aftermarket unit. Why? Because then your signal would be cleaner... Only way now is with something like a JL cleansweep.

I am also interested in some speakers for my grand prix. I mainly listen to hard rock and/or metal.

I just talked to someone at crutchfield and they recommend infinity speakers for GP's that have the monsoon system.

I got some infinity kappa speakers today, 629.i for the front and 6292.i for the rear and they sound amazing. Money well spent there. I also picked up a Pioneer Z2 headunit that is not installed yet, still waiting on a dash kit and wiring harness.
