I want to get 6 1/2" splits in the front. I really dont care how much they cost, but i am after opinions on who thinks what is best. Ideally the splits i end up getting will be used to compete in comps (SPL). But decent quality is also important

pioneer bullet splits...
my stereo used to to hit 137+db and they wouldnt *** up at all...

ill recommend them unitl i go red in d face!

ha ha, i am half expecting blake to say the same thing. Has anyone heard the fusion jonah lomu series?

You betchya im going to say the same thing! I have the newer version and been very very happy.

But i really should have spent the extra money and gone MB_Quartz...

i thought the lomu seris was only amps n subs???

A quick point...fusion had 2 15" lomu subs in sum car....and its the worlds loudest car...did like 170db or sum crazy number!!!

What's your budget?

That helps a lot in recommending stuff

Well for the splits i will spend up to $1k, i am just looking for reccommendations so i know what to check out. But for real lomu series make amps, sub and splits. Everything a competitor needs, but u need a fat wallet for that shit.

yeah.. my mate has about $6000 or something worth of gear in his 180SX
(all pioneer and Fusion Lomu) that thing is absolutely crazy. never heard anything like it b4!

Focal Utopias, best on the market IMO

i saw a documentry on jona lomu. when he took delivery of his car fusion told him not to put the volume over a certain level cuz it would give him whiplash. it was the funniest thing i'd ever heard til they showed the back of the car :shock: :shock: :shock: No wonder it was a 4WD, u'd need it to pull all the shit around. it was insane.

Anything Sony :lol: :D

Anything Sony :lol: :D

hehe.. good one BVRX.. i wasnt gonna say that first cos i didnt wanna get beaten up by all your poineer loving doo gooders :lol: :lol:

jokes. yer, i donno bout sony splitz tho :doubt: they only have one model and its 'rather' under powered :x

altho, sony are bringin out a new range of stuff. so perhaps there will be something in the next batch, splits wise that might be worth buying :doubt: mmm.. or perhaps not.. :D

Headunits, subs and amps are quality shitz tho :D:D

Have to be Focal Utopia
MB Quart is also great quality too, I have 6.5 inch splits and 6*9s that a both MB Quart and they are fantastic

1K for splits is crazyness - i have Boston Accoutic Rally Edition Splits - cost about 650 brand new and they are unreal - for the full 1K i got the splits and hte 6x9' to match - and anyone who has heard my system knows it is loud - but the important thing to remember is these must be amped - this quality of speaker is wasted on teh H/U (no offence to anyone who is running it this way because i did as well until I got my amp) and then when you run amps - the improvement is crazyness levels - anyone who has seen my amp stares in disbelief - but I claim it was worth every cent!!

Manual

Anything Sony :lol: :D

I'd stay away from sony :shock:
While i'd swear by my sony headunit, i've only heard bad things about their speakers :cry:

what amp do u have manual, and what specs is it?

the old story is always the same, what I have sounds great but most have never really sat in a car with high end gear and I mean high end, Focal Utopias may be $1,000 a set of Splits, $1,300 for a Sub but heck are they sweet. I'm not bagging the lower end stuff but when you make Amps, Decks, Speakers, and so on one of the things you make ain't gonna be great, and to me that usually the speakers the well know brands make. Or maybe it's just that I prefer the european sound over Japan and the USA as they all do have there own sound.

Alpine DDDrive
Pioneer Bullets
MB_Quart

mate Jl audio is some sweet stuff, i have a full jl setup and it sounds awsome

what amp do u have manual, and what specs is it?

Manual

I've got Boston Pro Series 6.5" Splits. They sound awesome! Extremely chrisp sound and heaps of bass/mid-bass. They really come out at ya when the volume is up!

They are $900-1000 jobs. Not cheap, but well worth the investment when it comes to the pure listening pleasure.

When my car was getting work done at a stereo shop this week, the guy working there commented how good they sounded -- before he had any idea of what I had hidden inside my doors. So there was no BS sales crap there! I think I could've sold them too him. But he already sells them :D

BSA-King, ur riht on the money JL, are in fact the sweetest sh*t. i have a JL 12W3 and it damn pumps.

Trav

12W3's are sik, i run them as well, they pump hard

What about phoenix gold or hertz?
