My friend wants to buy some 6.5" Speakers that put out some good bass

[LiquidClen]

He says price doesnt matter, what would you reccomend to him??

[TakeABao]

umm...elemental designs eu-700s?

Is he talking about a component, coaxial, or mini-sub speaker??

[LiquidClen]

He doesnt know what any of those are. I suppose he wants coax's, as they are going to be replacing his stock speakers

Price doesn't matter?

Tell him to get some Apline F1 Status components, or Rainbow Reference components, those are only about 2K +



Go ask him exactly how much he wants to spend. Also keep in mind, that the speakers are only part of the puzzle for a good setup. You need to consider sound deadening, an amplifier, wiring, mdf speaker baffles, etc...


What kind of equipment does he already own?

[LiquidClen]

He has a broken JL W6v1 hooked up to a RF 500W Amp. He is not going for a super setup, after the speakers he is probably going to quit. Suggest something in the range of 500~1K

[cam2Xrunner]

Well my entire system including headunit, amps, speakers, subs, and wiring is going to cost about 1K.

Some really nice component sets are MB Quart QSD's(if he likes a very detailed metal tweet)

Focal K2P

Arc Audio ACS265

Image Dynamics Chameleons

Boston Z6, Boston Pro

JL ZR

For a good amp to run them using the passive components, I would suggest the MB Quart RA2400 at www.crutchfield.com It's 200 watts rms x 2 @ 4 ohms. and is 249 shipped.

Get a second one for a pair of Peerless XXLS 12" subs
