A good combo?

I have been searching endlessly for new speakers for my camaro. I have the original speakers with a sony cdx-l350 deck in my car. I have been looking at a pair of these kicker speakers, and seem to have heard good things about them.

DS460

4x6" Coaxial 2-Way Speakers
Max Power: 50w
RMS Power: 25w
Impedance: 4 ohm
Tweeter size: 1/2"
DC Resistance: 3 ohm
Sensitivity: 88 dB @1w/m
Effective Frequency Range: 50-20k Hz
Mounting Hole Diamater: 4x6"
Top Mount Depth: 1 7/8"
Bottom Mount Depth: 2 1/8"
Tweeter Protrusion: 3/16"
Tweeter Magnet material: neodymium
Tweeter Dome material: PEN
Tweeter Design: Balanced Dome
Woofer cone material: Polypropylene
Woofer surround material: ribbed polyfoam

DS6930
6x9" Coaxial 3-Way Speakers
Max Power: 140w
RMS Power: 70w
Impedance: 4 ohm
Tweeter size: 1/2"
DC Resistance: 3 ohm
Sensitivity: 92 dB @1w/m
Effective Frequency Range: 30-20k Hz
Mounting Hole Diamater: 5 15/16 x 8 3/4"
Top Mount Depth: 3 1/4"
Bottom Mount Depth: 3 3/4"
Tweeter Protrusion: 3/8"
Tweeter Magnet material: neodymium
Tweeter Dome material: PEN
Tweeter Design: Balanced Dome
Woofer cone material: Polypropylene
Woofer surround material: ribbed polyfoam

Speaker Grilles Included


They seem like some of the middle of the road speakers without going over board. I listen to mostly an arrangement of rock music so bass isn't really a major concern.

Any comments as to how the speakers are?

Re: A good combo?

Re: A good combo?

Two high as in it will hit the dash pad? There is no way you can just bend the plates a little so it sits lower?

Any good suggestions for a good combo of 6x9 and 4x6 that are middle of the road as far as quailty and price, don't need anything super fancy.

Re: A good combo?

I see your point but how easy would it be to hook up in place of the speakers? and would it sound as full with just the 6x9 and tweeters. I was also thinking about then just making it a 6 speaker system and putting two midwoofers in the trunk with an amplifier if nessecary.

Heres another look at my speakers

Pioneer TS-A6963R (sail panels)

6"x9" 3-way car speakers (pair)
injection-molded polypropylene woofer reinforced with basalt, graphite, and Aramid fibers (rubber-coated cloth surround)
3/8" PET silver film dome tweeter
2-1/4" treated paper cone midrange
power range: 2-40 watts RMS (270 watts peak power)
frequency response: 31-37,000 Hz
sensitivity: 91 dB
top-mount depth: 2-7/8"

PIONEER TS-T110
120W TWEETERS (pair)

KEY FEATURES:
    • 7/8" PPTA Hard-Dome
      Strontium Magnet and Magnetic Fluid
      Built-in Crossover (6 dB / Octave)
      Surface or Flush Mounting Capabilities

      Specifications

    • 120 Watts Max. Music Power (40 Watts Nominal)
      Sensitivity (Efficiency): 90dB (1W/1m)
      Frequency Response: 2,500-30,000 Hz
      4-ohm Rated
      Dimensions: 1 7/8" Diameter x 7/8" Height
      Mounting Depth: 3/4"
    • Pioneer Mid Woofers
    • Key Features & Benefits:
      • 4-way coaxial sound reproduction system
      4-way crossover for strong reproduction in each frequency range
      • 6" x 9" speaker
      Big enough to handle your sound requirements without interfering with your passenger space
      • Composite IMPP cone material
      Lighter than most other materials, these materials can respond more quickly and create clear, powerful sound
      • Strontium magnet in the midrange
      2-1/4" lightweight midrange with magnet fluid and strontium magnet projects rich aural textures
      • 300Watt maximum output
      The speaker can handle a fairly high maximum of 300Watts with a nominal rating of 40Watts

Re: A good combo?

Around 200, but no more than three.

My borhter has a nice pioneer system in his ranger and it sounds nice, and my dad has pioneer in his trucks and they hav enever given him a problem unlike his old inffinitys. Basically all I really need to know is the pricess of hooking up these tweeters and if I will need an amp for the 4 6x9's or if I should just go wtih the midwoofers for the 6x9 in the rear and just keep a 4 speaker system.

Yep I'm pretty sure to go with the pioneer setup, but my question is, do you mount up tweeters just like regular speakers where the original 4x6's went?

I can see how bass in the dash can be bad, my dash rattles enough already.

I had Polk 4x6s, but the surround tore, so in went some Memphis Audio 4x6s. When putting in the new speakers a little silicone caulk in key areas really eliminated the amount of sqeaks/rattles. Then again, my dash didn't rattle much to begin with...
