370Z Base Speakers

Haboob · 01-17-2013, 01:38 PM

If I didn't have to buy a new cell phone (and pay full price) I'd be upgrading my speakers and HU within the month, but alas I must wait.

The sound is just awful. I thought I could be content with it, but no, I can't.

I have a full nav, DD Pioneer Head unit installed in my base car, but you can tell at least the front speakers lack. What are some good options in terms of speakers? Just replace the front two, there are four speakers I think in the base model. Then I'm thinking to get a sub down the line, maybe I can get one of the factory enclosures

There are two speakers in your car with two tweeters. Aka component speakers

polk has been my favorite. easy to install and sounds good (and inexpensive).

A new Pioneer AVH-X2500BT HU and a set of Polk DB6501 speakers are in transit to my house right now. The Polks seem to be highly recommended here for a good basic system. I am going to have a busy Saturday, but I will be free from my "really pretty good if you only listen to AM talk radio" base system.

I'd like to go back to Alpine as I've always had good luck with Alpine, but they are just astronomical in terms of pricing for a 2DIN.

I haven't decided on speakers yet though.

Kewood DDs are an affordable alternative. I've owned both Alpine and Kenwood DDs and have never had a problem.

I listen to Rush Limbaugh and talk radio. Stock speakers are doing fine for me.

I was thinking something like this Polk Audio 612" Coaxial Loudspeakers with PolyMica Cones Pair DXI650 - Best Buy

Great reviews and if all we have is 20w speakers in the car now. It will blow them away haha.

Would this fit as well?
