What are some decent speakers I can get for my doors? I plan on running this off of my Alpine iDA-X001. I'd like to stay away from running a seperate amp if possible. Let me know!

 

Get the Alpine Type S Coaxial. It has good highs, not much bass, but is sensitive @92db - enough to run without an amp, and cost effective (~$150). I picked that after auditioning many comparable coaxials and had that running off a HU in a civic and they sound fine. That'd be a good basic upgrade and would sound better than any component sets running off of a HU in that price range.

The Kenwood Excelon Coaxial sounded great too, better in bass, not as good high than the Alpine. I had that running off my HU in the S years ago as my first upgrade. It sounded better than my amp+comp upgrade until I tuned the amp+comp right.

If you want good bass, it will be a different story and costly, at least $400 (more like $700+) I'd say with amp, sub, wiring, deadening, enclosure, etc.

 

I'm running Polk DB650 6.5" co-ax. They sound great and can be had for cheap.

 

sorry a total newbi to this but when you order speakers do they come in pair?

 

Yes, they come in pairs.

 

I forgot to add that I have a 12" Elemental Designs 13Ov.2 subwoofer in the trunk pushed by 350 watts. So bass is not a problem for me. I'm just looking for a big improvement from stock.

 

In the event I'd like to add an amp, what's a decent one I could run?

 

FYI Crutchfield have buy one get second half off on all Polks Audio speakers.

 

Go to bestbuy, circuit city or alike and listen to them. Pick one you like and order online.

 

so if you installed the coaxial speaker, do you still connect the tweeter?
