components in my Ranger

MB Quart isn't as good as they used to be...

I've heard having 2 sets of components in the car without going active could cause some cancellation in the sound, at least that was what i was told...

I'm waiting for my upgrade now, i upgraded to focal K2P's!!!

If you want some killer midbass i've heard that the RE XXX components sound really good!

 

going active is what a lot of people do when they want it really loud and clear and even more so in SQ applications.

In an active set up, you have a midbass, mid and a tweet in each door. They are not run through passive crossovers but connected directly to the amp/s and tuned from there.

Here's a link on those RE XXX6.5'. Heard they have some nasty midbass...

they are 2ohm and are 150 watts RMS/side.

 

you mean the PG RSD's?

They are great starter comps but for somebody that is looking for an upgrade I wouldn't suggest them.

If you're like me, everytime you upgrade you want something A LOT better. the crappy thing is if you want something a lot better you will have to shell out $$$.

I would rather invest in some really sweet used components then buy just "ok" new components. That's what i decided to do with the Focal K2P's. I would have never been able to afford them new but i found 2 sets really cheap... IMO you want to upgrade so you won't have to worry about getting anything else for a long period of time.

 

here's something on the more cheaper side. But i know for sure that the JBL's also have really killer midbass. they are power hungry though. What does your amp do if you bridge it?

Indeed they are very sexy speakers... I was looking for a used set but i couldn't come up with anything. lol Those RE's will get plenty loud and you can still install them in the stock location if you wanted to.

You could still go with two pairs if you really wanted to. I know people that are doing that here but they only run them at the same time for outside listening and then when they are inside the car they turn them off (for staging purposes)

 

i'm sure those JBL's would be good with 200 watts going to them. What amp were you planning to get?

I saw a NINe.2x for sale used but in like new condition for $100.. you may be interested... I was thinking of getting it but I don't know what i'd use it for. lol

 

All i know is that the RE's are rated at 2ohms. so you're gona need an amp that's good for at least 150watts @ 2ohms per channel

 

that's an idea... you may be able to find a nine.2 used for cheap. check out the elemental designs forum...

I did find that nine.2x but at 2ohms it puts out 300 watts.

 

you should be okay with one set if you go with the RE's. Should be more than enough to keep up with your subs.

now, if you plan on going in the 150+ db range then i would suggest going active. Then you'll be really loud and clear. but you'll need at least 2 amps for that. one 4 channel for mids and midbass then another amp for the tweets.

 

more than enough. you should be VERY happy with the RE...
