Component Speakers

[Phild101]

Are you sure you are looking for component speakers and not coaxial speakers? Do you want the ones with the tweeters included? If so they are coaxial. I find the JL gear overprice for what you get. I have went from alpine to Hertz audio I run a set of HSK165 rated to 125W RMS and 250W peak in the front and a set of HXC165's which are coaxial in the rears and they sound wonderful. I am running them all off of the HP4 amp. It was not really cheap gear but it was in the lines as JL$$

Try Onlinecarstereo.com Cheap prices and good brands. Much cheaper than Crutchfield. I had a pair of Phosgates and liked them.

I love em. They sound so good no matter what you are listening to. Honestly if you go with 12's you will not be able to fit them behind the seat unless you want to take the panel off from behind the rear seat. I was thinking 12's at first and then decided the 3 10's

What's the diffrence between component and regular speakers?

[Phild101]

The components are usually installed as a woofer, mid and tweeter where as a coaxial will have the mid and tweeter in the one speaker. Have a look at the links I put in and look at the coax and the comp tabs on either the energy or highenergy tab under products. You should also have a seperate power amplifier if you are going to be running components as opposed to coaxials. Coaxial have limitations as to where you can place them where components can be arranged and specially mounted to produce the best array of sound. I would say components for the fronts for the best posible sound (seperate mid and tweet) and coaxials in the rear. But then you are looking at another amp and more wiring if you are not replacing your headunit, PAC audio make a module for it. Also if you are going that far you may as well add a sub LOL. Hope this helps.

If you want to get GREAT sound from your nice new components, run then off a quality amp not the head unit.
