Hey guys!
I am putting together a sound system for my brother, which will go in a 2000 Nissan Maxima, which has 6.5 inch front speakers and 5.25 inch rear speakers. I will be taking all of the factory Bose stuff out and replacing it. It will be used as a daily driver. I have most of it planned out already, but I can't decide on front speakers.
The amp I have for the front speakers puts out 100 watts rms at 4 ohms, or 150 watts rms at 2 ohms. I will be running the rear speakers off the head unit, and may even add them later, since they aren't important. My focus is on the front speakers right now. Also, I will be sealing and deadening the front doors.
My budget for the front speakers is $160. Because I am a big Alpine fan, I was originally leaning towards the Alpine Type R components, which go for $160 on SonicElectronix. After doing some research on here though, I am not sure they would be a good choice. So I have a couple of questions:
1) Does anyone have any experience with the Type R Components? What are your thoughts on them?
2) Are there any component speakers in this price range worth getting, or should I just get a nice pair of coaxial speakers?
3) Please recommend any speakers, coaxial or component, that you would recommend at this price point.
Thanks for your help! I appreciate any feedback you guys can provide!
