Toby,

I just read this post. I posted a question on the 350Z Forum as follows:

Can anyone help that has experience making this upgrade? I would like to retain my 07 Bose factory head unit and upgrade speakers and amp (if necessary) to achieve better overall sound. It would be preferred if the upgrade was easily reversible down the road for resale. I have an 07 Touring Roadster. I'm new to Z ownership and the Forum. Thank you for experienced advice.

Is there a solution with JL ? Please email me directly: mjudgehome@comcast.net

Thanks
Michaelinmech

Modified by grmreapr at 3:51 AM 11/10/2007

I don't have my pricing at home for the JL prefab box's........ I'll run to work tomorrow and get that for you. As far as a amp goes, I would recommend the JL A1400 or the Alpine MRP-M450. Both will yield you 250 watts RMS at a 4ohm load. These amps are actually designed for max power at 2 ohm, but will work great at 4ohm and give you the right amount of power for that enclosure. The JL will run $339 shipped and the Alpine will run $189 shipped. The Alpine is obviously the best deal!

Thanks,

Toby

You are looking at $239 shipped for the W1 enclosure and $339 shipped for the W3 enclosure. Unfortunately shipping is very expensive on these, so I had to figure that into the price.

Thanks,

Toby

sweet now my final question is should I go with the CS112RG-W3v3 12 or CS110RG-W3v3 10 inch Its going in the back of my hatchback s13 dont want nothing crazy loud just good bass so opinions would be good im leaning twards the 12 but hey. p.s. gonna need your paypal to



Post Title: Re: JL Audio Speakers On Sale!!!! (grmreapr)
Posted by: Broadfield at 6:34 AM 11/13/2007

Since you are only going with one sub, I would prefer the 12". The single 10" just won't have the low extension that the 12" will have. The 12" will also give you just a little more output.

p.s. My Paypal is in my signature!

Let me check inventory today to see if I have those in stock. That's not a normal item I stock since we custom build all of our boxes. If not, it would take me 3 days to get it once you pay me!

Thanks,

Toby

Yes, they will fit in the doors and rears just fine! If you are on a budget and just running the speakers off of head unit power, then I would get the TR's. If you are going to be running the speakers with a amplifier and have a little extra to spend, then I would go with the VR's or something even higher..... C5's or ZR's.

You would want to listen to both! Everyone has their own personal taste on what sounds "good". I probably wouldn't spend the money on the JL's since you already have the Infinity's. If you can get a full refund on the Infinity's, then that's a different story.

Pricing is for a pair. So you would need 2 pairs to do front and rear. What kind of vehicle do you have?

Hey. So I might just get the JL Audio TR650-CXi, but I'm a little low on money now. In another thread you said you could include the adapters for free if you bought a pair of speakers, is that still possible?
Either way, how much would it be for a pair of the JL Audio TR650-CXi w/ adapters shipped to 98116?

Thanks,
Lucas

The TR's are $119 shipped and I will throw in the adapters. Keep in mind these will only fit in the front on a hatch. The rears have to be 4x6's unless you relocate them to the rear seat panels.

I can do Boston Acoustics for $79 shipped and Orion Cobalts for $49 shipped.

Let me know if you need pricing on 4x6's for the rear.

Toby

Posted by: Broadfield at 10:41 AM 9/16/2008

Ooops, sorry about that! This one fell through the cracks. A nice little 4 channel at a really good price would be the Alpine F300. I can do that one for $179 shipped. You could then do the JL Audio TR or VR coax front and rear. You will also need the amp wiring which I will throw in for free. You also have the option of doing some Boston Acoustic coax for a little lower price than the JL TR's. They are little more harsh and don't sound quite as "full" as the JL's.

So the F300 and 2 sets of the JL TR's would run $417 shipped.

The F300 and 2 sets of the better JL VR's would run $517 shipped.

These both include the amp wiring.

Let me know if you are wanting the cheaper options.

Thanks,

Toby

Post Title: Re: (Crazyirish)
Posted by: Broadfield at 7:29 PM 1/27/2009

No, my amplifier for sale thread needs updated with new model #'s. How much RMS power are you looking to get and what kind of budget are you wanting to stay around?



Post Title: Re: (Broadfield)
Posted by: Crazyirish at 8:58 AM 1/28/2009

My budget is under 300 and I guess my power requirements are whatever would be in line with a pair on 10w3-3 4ohms. I figured 400watts into a 2 ohm load would probably be enough, but too much is always better than not enough right



Post Title: Re: (Crazyirish)
Posted by: Broadfield at 4:12 PM 1/28/2009

I would say the best amplifier that I have at a great price and decent power would be the Alpine MRP-M500. 500 watts RMS mono-block into 2 ohm. If you start to get into even the entry level JL's or the PDX Alpines, then you will be over $300. The MRP-M500 would run you $169 shipped.

Well, JL has a decent set for $209 shipped. They are the C2-650's. This component set uses a 6.5" midbass/midrange driver and a .75" silk dome tweeter. I would say these are your best bet in the $200 range. However, they will not be available until May at the earliest. These are a brand new model for 2009. The C2-650x's are available. These are the coax version of the components that I have for sale at the beginning of this thread. I might have some VR components left over..... which are what the C2's replaced. So they are very similar.

Im intrested in the VRs or whatever you have now.

1 Question, im looking for the best in the price range that i have.

Are the JL pretty good speakers?

I was thinking about getting the alpine type X.

Whats the difference between the two? or is there really not any difference. just both good speakers.

Hey toby, I'm looking to buy a new headunit and some new front speakers. What do you reccomend to get? I want decent bass without having to have a subwoofer. Something that sounds like a newer car stereo system. Not looking to break the bank either. Also do you have the speaker adapters for the s13 doors?

I have never been a fan of Alpine mid/highs and subs. I adore their head units and their amplifiers are ok. For reference, you never see competitors in IASCA or USAC rocking Alpine speakers.

I would recommend an Alpine head unit of your choice and maybe some JL Audio C2's or C3's. If you want more volume than the head unit provides, then an amplifier would be advisable. Alpine has their new add-on amplifier that should be a big hit.... no wiring and simply plugs into the back of the radio.

cool cool, i forgot to mention that im also looking for a rear connection for an ipod cause i want to route the ipod cable through the console to hide it. also was wondering if the apline headunits let you control your ipod through the headunit, ie. changing songs and so forth. I think i might pass on the add on amplifier right now. Could you email me a price or just let me know a price of JL Audio C2's or C3's. I think i'll do one of those $150 headunits in your other thread, i dont know the model number, i'll get back to ya!

Hey Toby,

Right now I'm running Infinity reference front and rears powered by a RF T400-4.

I want to eliminate my rear fill and bridge my amp to a set of component speakers up front.

Have any 6-1/2" component sets that you can recommend?



Post Title: Re: (Rolling Estonian)
Posted by: Broadfield at 7:57 AM 6/16/2009



If you want the best, then Hybrid Audio is what you want..... no question about it. The nice thing is they are actually cheaper than all the other components they beat out. I would recommend their Clarus 6.5" set. The Clarus is actually their entry level, but you won't think so after reading the review below.

In the July 2008 issue of Car Audio & Electronics Magazine, there is a review of the Clarus C51-2 set (5 1/4" component speaker set). The results of the evaluation were glowing.

The highest sound quality score ever achieved, using the new Car Audio & Electronics scoring criteria, went to the Clarus component system. For example, near perfect listening test scores were achieved (9.5 out of 10 on the song "Spanish Harlem" as performed by Rebecca Pidgeon). According to the reviewer, even despite being 5 ¼” midbass, they compared well to competitor’s 6 ½” and 7” component sets! Using a formularized Excel spreadsheet, which subjectively compared the old Car Audio & Electronics scoring criteria to the one adopted relatively recently, it was quickly determined by Hybrid Audio Technologies staff that this was one of the best component sets, if not THE BEST component set reviewed by the magazine in the past several years (as far back as we were able to take our research).

Reader Note: Clarus C51-2 is a $469.99 set of 5 ¼” speakers which was compared to, and found to exceed the performance of 6 ½” and 7” component sets costing literally up to six times as much ($2,000+).

Notable quotes from the reviewer:

"What I found was one of, if not, the best owner's manuals I've ever encountered in my many years in this industry! It is a comprehensive description of the speaker system and a lengthy and very informative tutorial on sound quality system setup in general..."

"To adjust tweeter output, you select between different push terminals (a nice way to do this)...which eliminates the common selector switch that can degrade over time and affect the quality of the connection."

"It was a large sound...other components sets I've auditioned employ a 6.5-inch low frequency driver, so the fact that these diminutive speakers can hold their own against a larger driver is a feat in itself."

"When (Rebecca) Pidgeon's solo vocal starts it's as though she's in the room with me! The image is strong, at eye level, and perfectly centered with a life-like tone. I can even detect the size of the room and there's a feeling of air around the vocalist."

"There's a realistic, sweet sound to the strings...that I've rarely heard from even the most expensive component sets that I've auditioned."

"When (B.B.) King starts singing, his voice is stable and perfectly centered. It has all the rich, soulful character he's famous for and when Lucille (King's guitar) plays, she sounds totally life-like and robust."

"If you and/or your installer completely read the owner's manual that's downloadable for these components, and institute the damping and driver placement recommendations therein, you'll be able to realize the same excellent imaging and staging details these components are capable of producing."

"I wish more speaker manufacturers would take it upon themselves to educate their customers as to proper installation and placement of their products as Hybrid Audio has done."

"After listening to these speakers for literally hours on end, I didn't experience any appreciable listening fatigue."

"From the extremely complete user's manual to the construction and sound of these diminutive drivers, they're a class act by any standard, and they're probably one of the best bargains out there for a retail price of $469.99. It's obvious that the folks at Hybrid Audio did their homework and a lot of research, testing, and listening to perfect this product."

"If you're in the market for a component set for your car audio system, you'll be doing yourself a great disservice if you don't audition these speakers for your application."

Blatant plug: After winning "State of the Art" from England's Talk Audio Magazine, to winning seventeen (17) national- and world-championships last year alone in organized competition, and now getting a review which says that this $469.99 component set is better than systems costing five and six times as much---if there was any remaining doubt---even those that relish in doubting---you have hereby been given notice: THERE IS NO DOUBTING ANYMORE.

Couple questions:

1) So are you wanting front and rear speakers?
2) Do you have a budget in mind?

yes front and rear speakers. Also i do have a budget and am not looking for some crazy speakers just nice quality

If you want some decent speakers, but are on a really tight budget, then you could do some Boston Acoustics:

Front doors: 6.5's with free adapters $79 for the Boston S65'S
Rear: 4x6's bolt in $59 for the Boston S75's

I you have a slightly higher budget I would highly recommend doing a better front speaker and stay a cheaper one in back. The rear speakers are small and in the back, so you will barely hear them anyway. So I would put more focus on the fronts.

Front doors: 6.5's with free adapters $135 for the JL Audio C2's found at the beginning of this thread.
Rear: Same as above $59

Shipping is included with all of these prices.

Let me know if you have anymore questions. Of course we can always get you in to something even better if you choose.

How much for a pair of VR650-CSi (or anything comparable)? Thanks

Posted by: Broadfield at 9:15 PM 7/3/2009

The VR's have been discontinued for a while now. I will see if I have any left over in the components, but I think not. So you would be looking at the replacements.... the C2 components. For some reason I don't have my new pricing on my home computer.... so I'll get you a price on Monday.

Dang I suck! I'm sorry man..... I totally dropped the ball. I do not have any left overs on the VR's. So the new C2-650 components would be $189 shipped.

Cool, how would you compare the two? The VR's vs your C2's?



Post Title: Re: JL Audio Speakers On Sale!!!! (headhunt3r)
Posted by: Broadfield at 6:10 PM 7/8/2009

They are very similar since the C2's are the replacements for the VR's. The C2's are a fraction better, at a slightly lower price.

well i want some speakers for my s13 hatch just on the front n size doesnt matter, im just looking for some speakers that'll fit right in and will cost about maybe 100 bucks or less, you think we could work something out????



Post Title: Re: (Donnygtr)
Posted by: Broadfield at 3:15 PM 7/17/2009

Well, drop in's would be 4x6's, but with simple adapter plates you can drop in 6.5's.

Boston Acoustic 4x6's would run you $59 shipped and Boston Acoustic 6.5's would be $89 shipped. You would need adapters for the 6.5's which are $10 from me or you can make them yourself.

I only stock 4x6's in the Boston Acoustic line. But I have several brands of 6.5's.

Do you know where the TR650-CXi speakers were made from? thanks



Post Title: Re: JL Audio Speakers On Sale!!!! (Broadfield)
Posted by: zer0c123 at 1:06 PM 8/21/2009

Alright so it seems the front and rear (not sure if all) speakers are blown in my 1993 240sx hatch.

I'm interested in the TR650-CXi and I'm going to need the 6.5 in adapters, but I'm going to need a pair of 4x6's for the back. What do you recommend? Most people say run a cheapo pair in the back if i'm staying with 4x6's there.

Let me know

thanks



Post Title: Re: JL Audio Speakers On Sale!!!! (zer0c123)
Posted by: Broadfield at 12:26 AM 8/22/2009



Yep, the TR650's will work perfect in the doors. I throw in the adapters for free. I would then just use Boston Acoustic S75 4x6's in the rear. They run $59 for the pair.

So you are looking at $178 shipped for everything.

Nismo-

Didn't want you to think I forgot about you. JL just happens to have a new promotion on the W7's, so I am trying to figure out what my new cost on them is in order to give you an accurate quote. I'll hit this thread back up later tonight with all of your pricing.
