Help me pick speakers for S-pods
Hi,
First post. Thanks to everyone on the board. Learned a ton searching and reading old posts. Now I have a question I can't find the answer to. I'm thinking of getting some rear speakers. Seems like S pods are the way to go. I'd like some help with choosing the speakers. I'm looking mainly for background fill so that i can have listenable volume at speed with the top down. I'd like to get something with a reasonably high sensitivity since I don't want an outboard amp and I am currently running the stock amp. I'd like to keep the price under $200 (I know... I'm a cheap ) :D TIA M |
Try Crutchfield, they recently had Alpine components for about $150 a pair.
If you need S-Pod specs, you can find all the info you need at: www.streetsmarttechnologies.net |
Save some money and don't even bother with component speakers. I don't think you need them for the rear, and they tend to be a little more power hungry than coaxial speakers.
I paid <$90 at a local shop for my 5 1/4" Boston Acustics. I demoed them in the shop with just HU power and they sounded great. I just use it for fill also, and they work great for that. |
I skipped the components too and just went with 5.25" Eclipse. They work great. Helps tremendously at highway speeds.

I have the reference infinity series and they sound great. You can pick them up on ebay for under $100

Thanks for all the feedback.
Coaxials would save me some money and if they sound good I'd love to go that route. One other thing. I was looking at the infinity reference components, but wouldn't it be better to use them as my primary door speakers and put the stock speakers in the pods? mark, I checked crutchfield but they have sold out of the Alpine ( or I can't find them).

the stock speakers are crap. I put the reference series in the doors and the s-pods all for under $200

the stock speakers are crap. Also, please remind me when you order about using coaxials so I can provide mounting plates cut for them. They aren't used very often, but the people who have seem to be happy. |
I used the components. They were infinity 5000cs (S-Pods) and the 6000cs (doors) reference series. I did have to tape the tweeter to the seat in the pods but you can not tell. I found them on ebay by doing a search and I purchased them from indoaudio. Shipping was a little slow (received 14 days after payment), but product was brand new.
