Posted July 13, 201312 yr I need a new set of component speakers. for my front doors. does anyone here know of some decent ones for less than 180.. I am new to this
July 13, 201312 yr A lot of peopl love the type Rs and IA comps but we can't tell really tell you what to get since what might sound good to you could sound like total shit to someone else. Best thing to do is to go to different audio shops and listen to them until you find what your ears like
July 13, 201312 yr There's a multitude of sets that fall in your price range. The most important thing to consider is the installation. You could buy the best speakers money can buy but if they're not properly installed and utilized then it was a waste of money. A solid mounting location, sound deadening, and although the hardest to do for most people but no less important is orientation or aiming. A great installation can make even a run of the mill set of speakers sound amazing.
July 13, 201312 yr Author Around this area we don't have the good brands you guys have lol.. and true I just have to look around.
July 13, 201312 yr LOL, there isn't shit around here either. Every speaker I've bought in about the last ten years I've done so without ever hearing them before hand and in most all the cases they were brands that no one else around here had ever heard of. That goes for highs as well as subs. I live in a little town whose population is around 550. The two nearest cities are 11,500 and 18,700. Almost no one around here has any real clue what they're doing when it comes to audio. Anyplace that sells audio equipment only sells the most common brands and even then it's the cheaper ones except for Alpine, Kicker and Rockford. There's good reasons for that, but believe me, no one knows what "good" is when it comes to this hobby, not really. Believe me, I know all about not having brands and equipment locally to choose from. You'd be surprised what can be accomplished when you pay more attention to the installation of the speakers you use than to what brand they are or how much they cost. I mean, there is definitely equipment to stay away from but most models from reputable brands will give satisfactory results for the majority of people and exceed expectations when care is taken as to how they're installed and used.
