I've been slowly stocking up on some "higher-end" speakers as I see good deals on them. When I say "higher-end", I just mean higher-end to *me* - as in a step above most of your Pioneers, Kenwoods, Infinity, etc.
I now have the following that I could use in my vehicle (2018 Dodge Challenger - stock speakers sizes are 3.5" in dash, 6x9 in door and 6.5" in rear-deck):
- A full set of AudioFrog G60S speakers (6.5" mid bass, tweeters and passive x-overs)
- A pair of Focal 690AC coaxial 6x9's
- A pair of Focal TN43 tweeters
- A pair of Focal passive crossovers
I wouldn't be using any of the standalone tweeters or any of the passive crossovers for anything - but I've been considering putting the G60S 6.5" speakers in my rear deck for my rear-fill speakers (band-passed, attenuated and delayed) and maybe putting the Focal 6x9 coaxials in my doors to use as midbass speakers (wouldn't use the tweeter). But honestly, I'm not so sure any of that would actually result in better sound quality compared to what I already have (Kenwood Excelon 6x9 midbass speaker in doors and Kenwood Excelon 6.5" coaxial in rear-deck). Also not so sure it's worth "wasting" the Audiofrog 6.5" for rear speaker duty. I want keep a 6x9 in the doors for the extra midbass they provide over a 6.5" - especially since i don't have any "real" subs - just an 8" under-seat, self-amplified sub (JBL BassPro SL) - which is why I'm not considering the AudioFrog 6.5" for my door midbass speakers at all.
Thoughts on using either of these speakers as replacements for what I already have? Like I said, I currently have Kenwood Excelon 6.5" in my rear-deck, and the Excelon 6x9 midbass in my doors (also just purchased some Illusion Audio C3CX speakers for the dash - if I can fit them - they will replace my Kenwood Excelon 3.5" coaxials that came as a set with the 6x9 midbass speakers).
Just trying to squeeze as much sound quality out of my system as I can. I'm not "unhappy" with the Kenwood Excelon speakers, but I also now that I can do better... This is my first venture into more expensive speakers...
Any and all opinions/thoughts are appreciated! :-)
