Trying to choose front stage set up...

[chigger_ns]

Im looking to upgrade my stock front speakers and was wondering which set up is better sounding.

I can choose from these sets...

MTX Thunder Axe 6 1/2" 2-Way Car Speakers (TX6001N)
or
Alpine 6 1/2" Component Car Speaker (SPS-600C)

If I want to spend more money I could get

Pioneer 6 1/2" Component Car Speaker Set (TS-A1604C)
or
Alpine 6.5" Component Car Speakers (SPS-610C)

Im leaning toward the MTX because they are on for a good deal or would any of the others sound better?
Tweeters would be put in the pillars.

Alpine SPS-600C
Frequency Response 70 - 22000 Hz
RMS: 160 watts per set / 80 watts each side



MTX Audio TX6001
RMS: 180 watts per set / 90 watts each side
Frequency Response 44 - 20000 Hz


Alpine SPS-610C
RMS: 160 watts per pair / 80 watts each (CEA-2031 Certified)
Frequency Response 70 - 22,000 Hz


Pioneer TS-A1604C
Frequency Response 29 - 29,000 Hz
RMS: 100 watts per pair / 50 watts each side


The Pioneer is only 50 RMS; which is kind of low. However, they have the largest Frequency response range. They can hit the low bass notes; and the very high treble notes the best amongst all 4.

Both Alpines have a 70 Frequency response, and are 70-80 RMS.

I agree with you; the MTX are able to handle the most power @ 90RMS; and have the second best frequency response range @ 44hz.


If you are amping them; I would go with the MTX. If you are running them off the head unit; I would get the Pioneer because the headunit puts out 20RMS; and the Pioneer will give you the deepest bass.

QUESTIONS: Do you have an amp, and/or a subwoofer? That would be the determining factor in my opinion.

Can't debate that

Great quality; and 125RMS. those would thump and be very clear.

They are double the price; but it might a good value still
$200.

I'm just using an Alpine CDA-117 and using the deck power for now.
I have a mono sub amp and subs not installed yet.

The Polk's can handle more than 125w/rms easily.

Look around, you can find pairs for $175-$250 a pair.

If your going to have a sub, then your component can serve it's purpose of being a mid bass driver.

you won't need a frequency response as low as the Pioneer @ 44hz.

So frequency response shouldn't be your major concern.

The headunit gives about 20RMS per channel. If you are going to invest in some nice front stage components; you really need an amp. for them.

If your planning on those Kick ass Polks; your amp should push 125RMS per channel @ 4 ohms

Many 4 channel amps are only 50-75RMS, so make sure you keep that in mind.

I found one for you that is 125RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms. That would be perfect for the polks.


Audiopipe is CEA certified. They are the best value for the dollar. They are know for being a value brand. I would get the Audiopipe amp; and the Polks if I were you.

Question to SergeantC., why is it you post a one or two liner post and then 20mins or so later it turns out to be almost an entire page?

Should at least post a footnote as to what you edited and why.

You've done it for just about 95% of your posts and it's confusing as hell.

sometimes i forget to add a picture or a link.

I am assuming people could benefit form seeing the actual model in a picture; and a link to see it's specs.

I didn't know adding something would be confusing; rather; i thought it would clear things up more.

But whatever; I am not going to write why I edited. And 95%; man, you keeping tabs? That is weird..

....anyway; let's try to stay on topic You can PM me if you have any other questions off topic.
