hey guys, i think i might have to replace my current 6 * 9 , my mesh has fallen off for 3rd time left side and this time a screw came out, i screwed it back in, i think i know what problem is, my head unit is 2 powerful for my 6 * 9s and everytime i have it loudish volume for some reson the mesh falls off, i need some suguest for new 6 * 9s, i wanna get a good set put not spend 2 much

i know im talking to you on MSN and stuff....but a headunit only puts out MAXIMUM 15W.....there is no way its overpowering the speakers....maybe there just crap speakers? or bad connections?

']i know im talking to you on MSN and stuff....but a headunit only puts out MAXIMUM 15W.....there is no way its overpowering the speakers....maybe there just crap speakers? or bad connections? yeah your probably right time to replace them

head unit overpowering the speakers? LOL!
Mate if a screw fell out, just go to show they're not screwed in properly. I'll take a look at them next meet if you want.

yeah i'll get you to check it next wednesday + other i gota find out whats going on with them, but it will highly lickly i will have to replace them.

I recommend OzAudio Vector Series. Fantastic speakers..
http://www.ozaudio.com/oz/oz_prod_vec_coax.htm

first and foremost how much do you want to spend...

$80 - $200

well there's two birds with one stone... save up some money and let me know

Budget speakers are my Strong point

First Up.. Lets Avoid Cheap Brands like Boss and Avalanche, this will only end in Tears

Lets Look at Pioneer
http://www.strathfield.com/ViewProduct.asp?ProdID=1420
$88 is not a Bad Price but we can Do better


Lets Look at JBL
http://www.strathfield.com/ViewProduct.asp?ProdID=730#

At $169 they are the pick of the Bunch

Also Take a Look at what Clarion have to offer..

Take a CD,go in and Audition some 6x9's

Personally I wont touch Kenwood with a 10 foot Barge Poll so I wont recommend them but Blaupunkt, Fusion and Lightning Audio have 6x9's in your $200 Max Budget range...

out of Pioneer and jpls whats do you recoon would be better

I have some Eclipse 6x9's from my Ralliart lying around if you want your problem sorted cheaply.

For newies i still recommend OzAudio Vector Series and JBL GTO936's for that budget.

JBL's are the Go, Just Ask TUFFTR, he bought them on my recommendation and loves them..

This may be off topic for you hardcore audiophiles, but, would the JBL's work well on the stock "Premium Sound" headunit from a TL VRX? By "work well", I mean that I don't need competition winning loudness, but I do want some dynamic range (not just bass). The stock speakers sound a bit "flat" when the bass is turned up.

Ken

They would be Brighter then Stock if thats what you want to achieve

$80 - $200

jazthats a great deal , only problem is istalling them, i won't be getting jbls, becuase u'll have to hook them up to an amp, and all i want to do replace my 6 * 9s

dude, you gotta undo about 8 screws to install 6x9's its not hard at all
on another note, i keep seeing this "competition" word being thrown around the place, what are you saying exactly? ive looked on the pioneer site recently and ive seen no competition series section? i mean i could buy the crappiest boss audio 4 inch speakers and use them in a comp, does that make them competition speakers?

not the screws i'm worried about its the wiring

unplug uld speakers, plug the new ones in

mate pull your head in,
these are genuine competition series pioneer speakers, they had a range and im pretty sure they still do, also known as yellow cone range called the compeition range which were their top of the line gear unlike all the other rubish they produce the competition gear was pretty damn good gear. I would love to keep them but i have a small hatchback now and no need for rear speakers
cheers

Bob... I am afraid that you have completely miss Understood what " Competition" speakers are


Competition Series are Speakers that the Companies who have made them have won competitions With.
For Pioneer it is the TSD Series..

JBL JBL JBL.. Im trying to sell some if you wanna make a reasonable offer..
They Are CS396e 3 way 6x9s From the cs series which preceded the Gran Touring series.. I had a complete jbl setup in my verada before i sold it and it was mint. my sub, amp, and fronts were the Gran touring series but i found that the CS 6x9s had fair bit more punch than the gtos (i purchased them both to make sure) the gtos went to my mate and i kept these. I found that the build quality is superior to the gtos and possible are the best looking speakers i have seen. Ill give ya pics. i was gonna chuck em on ebay.. I Also have the gto626e speakers that fit in the front these are 2 ways ill give you both sets for $200 if you want. i will send some pics if your interested

160mm 2 way
4 ohms
60rms peak
180w peak
sensitivity (2.83v, 1m): 90db
