[QUOTE="SVTGuy02, post: 5400779, member: 605610"] first I'd like to introduce myself as being a newbie on the forum. My name is Jon and this IS my first post and I was attracted to you guys because of two things: 1. I love cars 2. I love audio [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] so naturally caraudio.com is the right choice! haha Anyways, the GF is getting me a set of speakers for Christmas as my front right is blown and emitting a horrid buzzing sound constantly. I'd like to upgrade those speakers to a set of components. Now if I understand correctly I've come to the determination of the following: 1. I want to find a set of speakers that have a nice high frequency response but can also handle relatively low frequencies. I AM running subwoofers so I would imagine the LOW LOW frequencies should be left to them, but I can imagine its nice to have supporting bass coming from the speakers. Clarify if needed.... 2. I want to find a set of speakers that can handle a decent RMS rating, 3. Amp is a 4ch amp that runs 75W RMS x 4 @ 4ohm OR 150W RMS x 4 @ 2 ohm (Naturally because its half the resistance obviously) I've seen theres ratings like Sensitivity (which I've never understood).... Peak power handling, which I understand to basically be a BS number that gets people excited [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] LOL As for the tweeters, I understand that the composition determines what kind of sound comes out of it, super high ear piercing or mellowed lower-ish sound. Woofer composition I can imagine plays a part as well, although I don't know whats good and whats not. same with Woofer Surround, don't know enough about it. I know that there is a difference between rubber and butyl rubber but don't know how it affects sound quality/clarity. I'm looking at a 2-Way component 6-1/2'' set of speakers. As per my knowledge, I saw the Audiobahn ABC600V speakers which seemed to have pretty impressive, compared to others with higher prices, ratings: Tweeter composition - Silk Woofer Composition - Honeycomb Laminate (HCL) Woofer Surround - Butyl Rubber Peak Power - 280W RMS Power - 140W Sensitivity - 91dB (Is this good?) Frequency Response - 30 - 25000Hz Impedance - 4ohm All for $50!! I've got an Audiobahn A6004V amplifier (4ch amp) I've made up a relatively quick wishlist of potential options. Can anyone shed some light on my choices here? I want the best bang for the buck.
