front speaker questions

[BadgerType]

i have rockin no front speakers for a few years now and i am ready to get some new ones, problem is i have zero idea what to look for. i am not into crystal clear sound, but i don't want trash. i have a sub, so i guess i am looking for mids-highs from these speakers. i have some gift cards to best buy and i found a few that i liked, but i have no idea if they are any good or what all this 2 or 3 way means

one i am looking at

also, i am not opposed to a componet set, but i would need to fly ryry down to help me install everything, lol

thanks for the help guys

x-way means how many drivers there are in a config...like i have a pair of tweeters and a pair of mids, so thats a 2-way.

what i've found with coax speakers is that there wont be any "punch" down low and the highs will probably be too strong. so at the very least, a bass/treble control in the headunit is needed, or even a basic eq inside the hu is necessary to stand cheaper speakers.

so...without any distortion plots or FR graphs, they're all pretty much the same

yeah u gotta tune that ish. lol those speakers dont look like a bad idea. ive never had a problem w any pioneer speaker. or head unit. get these and some descent tweeters and it will sound nice.

btw what are you running in the back?

sony xplode 6x9, sony xplode 10" sub and a sony mono block

yeah i would get the pioneers in the front with some tweeters.

can you tune your settings on your current head unit?

 

[BadgerType]

yes i can, but i don't know what i am doing

lol

ha its all about your personal preferance. w mine i have my balance at 0 fad to the rear a lil bit like +2. my bass at 0 and my treble at 0 or +2. most ppl with subs just 0 everything out but ppl like me like the bass in the back and the trebel up front. thats why i have tweeters.

my avic has seperate hi, mids and lo settings and what not

you would be out of your mind to add a pair of tweeters to coax speakers. the ****ty infinitys i had for a while were terrible up high...i couldn't turn them down low enough without making it sound like ***.

once i left the stock tweeters hooked up and had the infinitys on the amp...i cut the wires behind the headunit after about 30 seconds

and you only like bass in "back" if you've never heard bass up front. audition my car once...it sounds like the kick drum is installed on the firewall

i would imagine u have an amazing set up dude. im not as into systems as you are. mine is very basic.
