I had a car receiver installed about a year ago, and now am looking to replace my factory speakers. I am only considering 2-way arrangements for the sake of an easy install. Any comments, information, and especially troubleshooting are welcomed. And thanks in advance for the help. Car Receiver http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17555 (concerns: receiver is capable of 18rms will it adequately support my speaker selections, and is it possible to get 80 watts front / 120 watts back) Car: 2001 Nissan Altima Music: Mostly Rock/Post-rock/Instrumental Speaker Arrangements (2 2-ways) option 1 - preferred front http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15112 rear http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=19649 option 2 - acceptable Front http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?showAll=N&g=400&i=500SPS17C2&tp=105 Back http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?showAll=N&g=400&i=1086022SI&tp=105
i would do the infinities due to thier high s/n (93.4 db's) if you mount those in the back like you posted then they will over power the fronts. because they will get louder with less power. so put them in front and in back. then you can just adjust the fader to compensate.
new preferred option question: I am going to running the below amp at 4 x 40W rms 4 ohm, speakers in what rms range would operate at optimum performance? amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8317_Pioneer+GM-4300F.html FRONT http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_7482_Eclipse+SE8365.html REAR http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_11645_MB+Quart+FKA+116.html
Question: When driving while the audio running what is the lowest freq. i could distunghing? (My hearing 30Hz-17.5kHz)
I really don't think you'll hear much of 30hz tones coming from small component speakers, don't think it's that safe either at high volumes.
you might feel the lows near your legs,but hearing 30hz from your doors wont be very loud at all. like it was said you would need a sub for that.
Goal -good clean amp that will last very long (>10 years) at 4x 50 rms 4ohms a channel, crossover included -front speakers – component set great all round, especially highs -rear speakers – coaxial, get rear fill feeling (and sharper bass to somewhat counteract sub I will eventually put in) New preferred option AMP http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13497_MB+Quart+DSC450.html# FRONT http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_8912_MB+Quart+DSG+216.html REAR http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17546 Not sure about front comp speakers recommend more at 50rms 4ohm. Any MB Quart reviews? All suggestions and comments welcome.
