I dont have a reccomendation for speakers, but pay attention to the RMS and not so much the peak power of your reciever. Peak power can only last a short time, as in a musical burst of energy. I find the better your reciever up front, the better your speakers sound (unless you've got seperate amplification) Also, I've read you're not supposed to mix different speakers for front and back because often they will give out a different sound. However, I mixed some Pioneer TS 6-1/2's in the front and Kenwood KFC 6x9's in the back. They sound pretty damn good. Im sure if you go with a decent brand name speaker you won't be unhappy with them. ANYTHING is better then those factory speakers..unless you own like a BMW or something.

I find this website to be usefull with what fits your car and what harness's are needed ect..

i plan on getting the same brand all around,
and im also undecided whether i should get another amp
to run them or just run them straight off the headunit.

i dont really care for loudness (as most ppl
do when they bump down the street)
i just want my system to sound good.
the stock speakers are fucking killing my desire for music.

ugh.

Infinitys are excellent speakers and don't require a honkin' huge amp to sound great. The Kappa series will sound smoother (especially on strings, piano, and vocals) than the Reference series. The Kappa series also gives you better efficiency than the Reference series, so you get the most out of the power you do have available to you.

This does NOT mean either series is necessarily more efficient than the speakers you currently have -- it may very well be that they are LESS efficient, in which case you'll have to turn up the volume a tad to attain the same sound levels you're currently getting. But the increase in quality of the sound is worth the loss of a bit of max volume, especially if you're not a bumper.

I sold high end car audio from 1981 to 1983, and I've kept up with developments just because I've always been interested in fine audio gear. Infinity's car speakers have always been top notch. Not the cheapest speakers by any stretch of the imagination, but very tough to beat at any price when it comes to speakers which will fit into existing installations rather than going with custom enclosures (although they have speakers for those applications, too).

so guys, i can get the
KAPPA462.7CFP 4" x 6"
&
KAPPA693.7I 6" x 9"

on ebay for around $200

can i get by (for now) w/o an amp to push them without them distorting or being ruined?
i already have an amp & subwoofer,
so if i was to get an amp for just those 4 speakers,
what type of amp should i get? like how many channels?
how many watts? etc etc.

i just got my tax refund and i want at least
*something* to show for it before its sucked away to bills. =[

Your car deck puts out MAYBE 15rms per channel. Dont believe those listed wattage numbers.

You can try infinity, but they tend to be powerhogs for the kappas.

Most build houses I'm familiar with are currently sourcing significant production from China & Chile

But Las Vegas & San Diego do the goods too :yesnod:

yes, they work just fine without an amp, when you get one turn the gain down on
all the amps to about 3/4 as opposed to full, it'll prevent the distortion
you'd get normaly at higher volumes

without going overboard, a 100 to 200 watt 4 channel is sufficient to have
decent sound without rattling the the fenders off the car, also look into
picking up a digiat signal processor

^Exactly. Those number are usually garbage. Plus the speakers will sound much better with a descent amp powering them rather than the deck. Go look at sounddomain.com. They're a bunch of car audio nuts. They have a tendency to bicker though. Also, I suggest you just use the front speakers because using the rears will only distort and drag your sound stage back from your ears. I would also suggest component speakers as opposed to coaxials or triaxils or the most ridiculous quadaxials. there are a ton of different speakers out there. take a look at CDT, or resonant engineering. I'm curious to see RE perform because i've heard nothing but good things about their subwoofers. Infinity's are good for the money as well. For the amp, if you have the money, zapco is really good. other wise an old rockford fosgate would do the job well. good luck

MB Quart.... you want badass sound, look 'em up. I put 2 2" tweets,  4 3-way 6x9's, and then added a Precision Power 2 channel 400w amp for my 2 Power Accoustic 10" in a tuned and sealed box. It's NOT cheap but DAMN! they are nice.... I don't think they're breakable! You can really REALLY push the limit of power with them and they have never crackled, popped, or made any kind of distortion that I can discern.... but I'm deaf 'cause of my car stereo... :lol:

I'm a Kenwood Excelon fan, you should check out some of their stuff, their midrange holds high RMS, and their amps can power it too, plus they've got a good frequency range.
