The best is whatever you consider to be the best sounding. If there was one 'best' then there wouldn't be the vast range available, they'd be just a couple in each price bracket.
However, it's difficult to pick a speaker you like as listening to them in the shop units or in another car won't give you an accurate idea of what they'll sound like in your car. The thing to do is to read reviews and look for their description of the sound they produce. Personally I don't like bright speakers (those with a elevated treble), while they sound good in an audition because you can hear detail in the tune you might not have heard before, they get tiring in the long run and give me a headache. I prefer a warm sound (where the emphasis is in the mid frequency) as it gives a pleasant sound that you can listen to for a long time without fatigue and it works well with digital systems. Best thing to do is establish what type of sound you want and work from there. There is no right or wrong answer to this, just what you personally like or dislike. What sort of music do you listen to, what's your favourite driving music? |

That's interesting, I hadn't ever thought of it like that. I always seem to want the treble up, so I'm in the "bright" sounding camp it would appear. |

Sound proof first.
Rainbow speakers are worth a look with the others you mention. I've got a Nakamichi head unit. Good sound and blends in with the Defender chunky look. Nice and minimalist too as I hate all the flashing lights on most units. A small focal sub hidden away will really sound good too. |

Thanks for the feedback so far, I have ample amount of dynamat to solve the deadening . What are the best spec of the focal? Ken I believe you have the Kenwood K2's complete with focal stickers . But before I commit I want to give the other companies above a look around, I know alive sell a hertz set up and have had experience of the JL audio units, just not sure which models to look at as there are so many. I listen to a variety of music dependant on my mood from jazz to rock and techno to classical so not sure what is best for my needs. Probably a mid range system.
Ill dog through some reviews....bloody piston heads keeps popping up as soon as I type anything speaker related and usually speaks about halfords and pioneer haha. Aaah I miss the days of my corsa an twin Fusion subs with infinity �20 speakers.... 'It was sick bruv'. =================================== Steve 90 xs sw in Stonoway Grey - Sold 110 USW X-TECH |
