can you give me a suggestion and price on one of the 6.5 mini-subs from JL for the rear of my S13 coupe to compliment my alpine x-type (ref) up front.

i got a clarion 785 hu and plan to run them off my trusty old 603 xtant 3 channel amp (300w at 4 ohm).

thx

[Broadfield]

The JL 6w3v3's are an amazing sub for its size. They have to be in a proper enclosure though..... completely sealed. They run $119 shipped.

Thanks,

Toby

whats up JL audio. im looking for a good pair of component speakers for my car. im not sure what to get. i listen to a lot of hip hop and techno.

[Broadfield]

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!

[Broadfield]

Sounds good man, I'll work up a couple prices and email you. All Alpines have iPod control.

[Rolling Estonian]

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?

[Broadfield]

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.

Do a little research on them, you won't be disappointed! Email me for pricing on them.

May 2008: Car Audio & Electronics Publishes a Glowing Review of the Clarus C51-2 Set; Evaluative Scoring Places Clarus™ Better than Sets Costing Five and Six Times as Much!

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?

Toby

[ShereKhan]

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

[Broadfield]

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'SRear: 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.

Toby

[ShereKhan]

i like the idea of having the better speakers in the front. Thats what i did with my other car and i enjoy it a lot. Ill contact you next week for the bostons to start. Thanks a lot toby

[Broadfield]

Sent you an email!

[headhunt3r]

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

[Broadfield]

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.

Toby

[headhunt3r]

Any updates?

[Broadfield]

Any updates?

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.

Toby

[headhunt3r]

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

[Broadfield]

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.

[Donnygtr]

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????

[Broadfield]

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.

[Donnygtr]

Well alright well I wanna get those 4x6 Boston speakers so let's do that, how can we set this up so I can buy them
