Recommended Posts

I just transfer my Ice to my new car. The installer mention that my Dego speakers going to up lorry soon.

Any recommendation of speakers ? Should I go 3 way active ? Currently is 2 way active with 8850 HU. Steg 4 channel and Rockford 2 ch amp . Using Alpine sound processor and with varadium rainbow sub.soundproof both front and back door . Rear door with coxial speakers

Thinking of either upgrade to 3 way and change sub to active sub or just change a better 2 way component speakers.

Any recommendation ?

If change to 3 way , budget for speakers and active sub about 1k
Or change 2 way comp speaker budget at $500

if you go 3 way and intend to go active ( i saw you have the alpine processor, which model), u'll need 2 more channels

 

factor in intallation ( A pillar or you car is somehow 3 way ready in oem location)

 

3 way will kick a 2 ways ass. but it comes with its own hassle .

 

so depends on how deep you wanna go :)

Cheers!

generally, yes, more worth it if you buy on Amazon or even on eBay. You can get brands not sold here. =)

 

you might also want to check out car audio forums such as diymobileaudio as well.

Thanksn but I am not sute if those meniton are better than Dego speakers

hmm.. it is a tough question. audio is a very subjective thing. i would classify the speakers you listed as entry to lower-mid tier speakers.

 

more importantly, you need to set a budget, know what kind of sound profile you are looking for (warm neutral bright), set your expecrations, etc
