brianhasadd Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 I want to replace the speakers in my Grand Prix and I'm not sure which ones to go with. The Monsoon speakers just aren't cuttin' it anymore and it's time for an upgrade. I want to go with Boston Acoustics but I've heard that they aren't as good as they used to be. I had Bostons in my Malibu and I blew one within a year. My second choice would prolly be Infinity Kappa Perfects. What do y'all think?????
slick Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 The Kappa Perfects are a good choice. I know a few people will chime in and say Elemental Design stuff as well. They are good also. I'm assuming 6.5 components, right? I'll post a few of my choices up later.
terryk2003 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 INFINITY KAPPA kicks ass!!...i highly recommend them...u may need a better amp to power em though...
birdman Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 infinitys or polks, i like them both very much.
slick Posted February 26, 2006 Report Posted February 26, 2006 Unsure on how much you want to spend, I'm going to give you a wide range of speakers to choose from. I'm assuming you want 6.5" components in the front doors, and 6x9's in the rear deck, so this is what I have come up with: 6.5" Components http://www.realmofexcursion.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=65_77&products_id=139 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Bub9VxYTUwv/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=410&I=107DB6500 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Bub9VxYTUwv/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=410&I=065SX60 http://www.crutchfield.com/S-Bub9VxYTUwv/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=410&I=065PRO60 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/viewitem.php?id=2857 http://www.electronicgiant.net/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=111&products_id=4110 http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/products/details.asp?id=9 http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=13544
brianhasadd Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks for the links. I have a 3-1/2 speaker in the center of the dash, a 6-3/4" speaker in the front door with a seperate 1" Tweeter (each door) and 2 6"x9"'s in the rear deck. I've always been happy with the sound of Infinity speakers and I'm thinking about getting them.
slick Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Ooo... a center channel speaker, eh? How are you planning on powering these speakers?
brianhasadd Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 Well I noticed a Monsoon amplifier in my trunk. It's mounted underneath the rear deck between the speakers. It's about the size of a PS2......I'll get a picture of it tomorrow sometime when it's daylight.
slick Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Any idea what type of RMS wattage that is putting out? It's probably rated by GM at like 300 or 600 watts, but I guarantee that it isn't CEA 2006 Compliancy readings.
brianhasadd Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Posted February 27, 2006 I'm not sure what GM has it rated at as far as peak power but I know the sound system is rated at like 255 watts RMS
19Cutlass94 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Infinity Kappa is some really good stuff. Id get it in a heart beat....BUT.... for the components, Id deff go Elemental. The are just better period. But if you wanna stay with the same throughout, Infinity is a really good choice. I think the GM stereo is like 300w now.
slick Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 I'm not sure what GM has it rated at as far as peak power but I know the sound system is rated at like 255 watts RMS Wow, I'm pretty impressed! I'd say a nice set of components up front and anything is better than stock in the rear. The only problem i do forsee is that the rear 6x9's are most likely DVC(or atleast thats with any other Monsoon system i've looked at in my install bay). AND iirc, one set of pos/neg wires is for the highs, the other set is for the lows. Should be fun to wire in.
99montez34 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 hmm ive never had probs with alpine components..
brianhasadd Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Posted March 8, 2006 Well what I plan on doing is replacing all the speakers and powering them with an amplifier. I'm prolly just going to see what my local audio shop recommends as far as an amplifier and just go with that.
jpfish Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 go for infinity kappa components. they have great mids and highs, but dont get them if you dont have a sub or two in the trunk, they lack a bassy punch.
19Cutlass94 Posted March 8, 2006 Report Posted March 8, 2006 If you get a component set, get either the Infinity's (since there pretty good) of eD (better than the Infinity's) But likejpfish, they do lack bass because the response is only roughly 50Hz to about 20kHz, therefore missing the low bass, hence the mids and highs of a component.
