Posted June 1, 200817 yr Ok so im pretty much getting brand new everythingWhat I have now...HU: Alpine CDA- 9831Current Amp: Rockford Fosgate Punch 500SAnd I got a rf 12" sub in the back.Speakers: factoryCar: 1997 Honda Accord SESo far I'm planning on.... (havn't bought any of these yet)Im pretty set on the sub and amp, not so sure about the speakers.Subwoofer: 15" SSD w/ copper wire (i want it sealed, but coudlnt find the specs...) $215 ( I might go with the 12")Amp: AudioQue 1200D $240Front Speakers: im looking at these http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...mp;idproduct=95 $70 They looked like a good deal, but I just want some feedback because I'm pretty new at this. If you guys disagree and happen to suggest something else, I'd say my budget is somewhere around $150 for the speakers. Im looking at coaxial speakers because I dont really wanna deal w/ the component crap/ I dont know how lol.I had some help from a friend because ,honestly, I was going to go with these lol http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Ite...&i=113W3011 because of the price/ good ratings, but I'm glad he mentioned fi. I did some research on my own too haha.Now me being 18, I'm all about bang for buck so the cheaper the better. This is just going to be for daily driving and SQ. Edited June 1, 200817 yr by LWKING
June 1, 200817 yr Author wow that was pretty fast haha. Are components really hard to install? I have no experience hands on, but i can pretty much figure anything out. Ill check them out now. What do you think of the cadence?
June 1, 200817 yr No personal or listening experience with cadence drivers. I almost heard a set once but the amps were clipping so bad I could hardly justify calling it listening. From what I have heard they are ok, but not great. Morel and Hertz are great speaker companies. Components are a tad bit harder, the tweeter and mid/woofer are separate and there is a crossover involved, but nothing too complicated.
June 1, 200817 yr Author I'm liking the look of the Morel Tempo 2 ways... Any idea of a price range off the top? Suggested retail prices range from $199.95 to $299.95answered my own question... looks good, but i may not be able to do it right away...Hertz looks pretty good too, but the price is in Euros lol.

June 1, 200817 yr The tempos are probably around 200-220 iirc and the hertz are like 230-250 iirc...Don't quote me on that I know I got my morel pulse (older version of the tempos) for about 160 cash, but I know some people.
June 1, 200817 yr Author ok thanks, those prices are about right. I'm gonna keep on looking at them. MOREL TEMPO 5 110watt rms RRP $224 <<< cheapest i can findI'm still open for more thoughts. $200 is a little much at the moment... I'd only pay that if it was REALLY worth it. I wouldn't go over... Not now at least.If someone can give me feedback on the cadence that'd be great. Edited June 1, 200817 yr by LWKING
June 1, 200817 yr Author sry for the double post but if i edited, i dont thnk ppl would have noticed in time and i wanna get this figured out by tomorrowhttp://www.zapco.com/prod/Speakers/i-Force/i-502_Frame.htm $125set of coaxials i found... compared to http://www.cadencestore.com/ProductCart/pc...mp;idproduct=95 $70Im pretty sure most are gonna go with the first, but I just wanna make sure before i start throwing out money...Based on the price and specs, wuts the better deal? Edited June 1, 200817 yr by LWKING
June 1, 200817 yr If SQ is anywhere near a priority, I'd go with $150 worth of drivers bi-amped actively over $150 of passives any time.
June 1, 200817 yr Author SQ is definitely a priority, and they will be amped, if not immediately in the near future... So im guessing ur going w/ the first? haha
June 1, 200817 yr I'm going with neither. Instead of the SSD and AQ amp, put that money into front speakers and you'll get much more of a return on investment for SQ
June 1, 200817 yr Author I trust your judgement, but thts a HUGE change haha. I was counting on the sub. How much better can speakers really sound? Funny though, I just got another hundred bucks from my uncle like 15 min ago lol (late bday). I was gonna save it, but ill add it to the speakers if you truly believe its worth the money...So now my budget is 250 haha. Dont wanna throw 500 bucks into speakers right now, I'll step it up when i get outta college haha Edited June 1, 200817 yr by LWKING
June 1, 200817 yr Author lol, kk. So what if I keep the sub, amp, and pick up a pair of tempos around the 250 price range?
