Are more expensive speakers really that much better than cheaper ones?

[QUOTE="DRBOOM, post: 8675779, member: 676005"] If you just want to swap stock speakers for after market speakers then don't spend that money on top speakers unless you do the sound deadening and external amplification along the change. If you wish to change the speakers for better after market speakers, it may provide you with a brighter sound but nothing much will be changed due to the stock car housing / lack of sound deadening :blackeye: So its up to you to decide whether you want to just get speaker replacement, so that would mean just get Pioneer, Sony, Kenwood, components, or any entry level components If you decide to go the whole hog and go for amplification, deadening, then it would be wise to spend money on more expensive components. The reason for this is it will provide you; [LIST][*]better crossover with different tweeter attenuation; [*]better materials / bigger voice coil / more power handling; [*]more tweeter mounting options rather than just a top mount bracket; [*]more reliability over the life of your car; (will not die on you in six months) [/LIST] Usually most car speakers sound similar and you will not notice much difference, but with the more expensive gear the tweeters are more pleasant to listen to over long periods. Personally I like the silk dome tweeters as I find the metal tweeters are more harsher at louder volumes but that is my personal experience and choice. :fro: Determine which option suits you depending on your budget mate!
