-Looking for 97 Camry coaxial speaker advice

[darksparkz]

I currently have a 1997 Toyota Camry LE, it has the stock 6.5 coaxials in front and 6x9 coaxials in rear. I tend to listen to r&b, rap, techno, trance, and all that bass stuff. I would say I'm looking for SQ over SPL. Budget is roughly around $400 or so for front and rear and a amp, will probably add a sub and monoamp later.

I'm thinking to get a 6.5 coaxial for front and 6x9 coaxial for rear, and a 2-chn amp and have my HU power my rear speakers.

As for the coaxials, I'm not sure to go with 2-way or 3-way speakers, I think I'll go with the 3-ways. Is it okay to have 2-ways in front and 3-ways in back? Or vice-versa? (Remember, this is still coaxials)

For the 6.5s, I've been looking some Infinity Kappa 63.7i, the JL VR's, and heard things about the Pioneer REVs. Also some say the Diamond M361i's are a good idea. Any idea on which I should get?

As for the 6x9s, the JL VRs or TRs seem good, but I'm not sure if I should mix 3-ways with 2-way speakers, since VRs are 2-way while TRs are 3-way.

Any suggestion on what amp I should use to power the front two speakers? I looked at the JL e2150s, but some say the Memphis 16-MC150s are a better choice.

Sorry if I'm asking for a lot, just looking for suggestions on a first time setup.

I'm either considering to go for front and rear Kappas or probably front and rear JLs, any other recommendations?

Edit: The reason I'm not going with comps, is because it'll be a bigger hassle to mod up the front pillars for a tweeter and all.

Weird, I thought all Gen 4 Camry have tweets in the sail panel (the panel near the door mirror).

Anyways...check out the offerings at http://www.exilecaraudio.com/
They are a new company formed by engineers from Phoenix Gold. You may need to buy direct from them if they don't have a distributor in your area.

If you want coaxials, maybe check out these speakers:

What are the differences between a coaxial and braxial speaker set? Other then the obvious price differences?

Nahh, i would hope that there are tweeters, but there aren't. Maybe it was only in the XLE ones with some preminum audio option.

The difference is mostly the way that the tweeter is placed and aimed as far as I can tell, but the braxial setup is said to produce better sound than coaxial speakers.

CDT makes high grade or audiophile grade speakers. They also come with crossovers which the Kappas do not include. The Kappas probably only have some high pass filters to prevent the tweets from producing low frequencies but does nothing to prevent the woofer from producing the higher frequencies.

My 2000 Camry has tweeters in the door but that was the standard stereo system. Maybe it was a change for Gen 4.5.
