Component or Co-Axial?
« on: 27 December 2007, 15:53 »
Hey, sorry if this is a common question, but i cant find my answer via the search

My rear 6X4's are dead and im looking to replace them - so any recommendations?

At the same time as replacing those im thinking of doing the fronts,

So my question is do i buy component or co-axial?

also, im going to be gettin a sub - or 2 in my boot, want to custom build a box and prob go the false floor route, so would this then make my 6X4's redundant/pointless?

Cheers guys, any help, links or advice welcome?

it will run them fine, i would be more tempted to a 'recognised' make, so for the same money, these:

Id put something in the back. My mates got 2 door speakers in the front of his car and a sub in the boot. The sub drains out all the music when in the back so you can't hear anything but bass :sad: Might be what some people like but i prefer to hear the song with added bass than just bass :smiley:

Well, don't sit in the back then!

Seriously, if you are the driver, and you're paying for the speakers, then definitely front components (amped of course), and a sub in the boot.
