For those who have an opinion.

Just wondering before i go spending massive $$$$ on stereo ****. What do you think i should go with Infinity or Alpine. I have Infinty Reference 4x6 plate speakers and they are awesome i would not trade them for the world. But im thinkin of some 6.5 comps in kicks and 6x9s or just 6.5s coaxs for the rear fill. Everything will be amped with a RF 400.4 except the 4x6s running off my V-drive Alpine headunit. So what do you think. I know someone out there has an opinion on this so lets have it. Oh and yes i've listen to both of them, not side by side but i've listened and i kinda have my own opinion.

We're not the ones that's got to live with them, you are. Buy whatever you prefer the sound of.

well, i like having music from my feet and cant wait till i get a better investment, (either way from DJsexay)

but i have 6.5s in my page, (in sig with many other installs youll have fun with)

but if you run kicks it sounds funny with 4x6's to the point where it was bugging me and i pulled over, lol.


hmm... yea, depends on what sounds better.

I haven't heard the Alpine 6.5" but I have the Reference 6.5" Components and I like them for the price I paid for them. On ebay their about $114.00( www.ikesound.com ) And if you will be using kicks go DJSexay! I have Q-forms and they are made of really thin plastic that bounces to the bass which isn't good. So by the time you paid $200 for Q-forms and then time and stuff trying to get them to sound like you want them to sound you'd have around $230.00 invested in them. DJ's are $140.00 for carpet and $150.00 for tweed. Here's the link http://www.djsexay.com/
