aah00n Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 OK guys. Going to get new speakers today for my r32. Question is should I get splits 6's for the front or just go with some 2 way coax? Is the sound quality heaps better with the splits or not? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/151518-splits-or-not/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelaideprosound Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Sound quality is HEAPS better with splits Correct. How much are you looking to spend, do you want some advice on quality brands ? What price are you looking to spend? Where are you located so we can recomend some good dealers to go to.

What price are you looking to spend? Where are you located so we can recomend some good dealers to go to. George Righto George, I am keen for some decent advice on the speakers. I have all of the other components for the system and now I need to match some decent speakers so I can get it all installed in one go. Here is what I have so far: - Kicker KX200.2 Amp (for the sub) - Kenwood 200W RMS 12" sub - JVC KW-AVX700 head unit (http://www.jvc-australia.com/JVC/client/c_...&prodID=173) As far as speakers go the guys on the forum have convinced me to go with 6.5" for the front and back. I don't really want to spend more than $200 on a set of front splits and the backs don't need to be anything too flash. The speakers will be running off the head unit so I need to find speakers that are going to match the HU right? My original plan was to go with a set of Alpine SPE-17CS ($138) 35W RMS splits for the front and a cheaper set of Alpines for the back. I am not too sure of the output quality of the HU (20W RMS?? is what I was told) and have been told that the above Alpines will certainly match it well. This is my main concern as I don't want to waste money on better speakers unless the HU is gunna have the power to drive them. Anyway guys, give me your advice on the above. Would you go with the Alpines? What others would you suggest? Don't want to spend more than $300 all up for front and backs. BTW George, I am in Nth Ryde. Always happy to purchase via the net or through your recommended dealers. Let me know.

GTRsean Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I put kenwood dual mag? splits in rear of mine and they sound good. Also put 5x7 pioneer 2 ways in the front doors. with 10 inch sub sounds great with not too much weight, I guess it's getting late, I don't think this ryme an't great.

grandmasterb Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 righto now i am confused... i thought i was making the right decision by using splits in the front and some 2 ways in the back... these last few posts are contradicting that completely... AAHHH WHAT TO DO..... Personally i've liked components in the front and the rear (tried it a couple of times) and to me it just sounds that the are fighting each other with the top end (my personal opinion) and they synch just didn't seem the same. Personally i always go a good set of splits in the front with 2ways in the rear (normally i dont worry about rears anymore) and i've been playing around with different sub applications (at the moment trying to perfect a dual bazooka tube) and i only run a 4channel amp now. This is mainly to cut costs and the fact that i spend money on the go before the show now and im not really fazed with the boom boom anymore, just like to have a nice crisp sound while im at the track Speak to some of the pro guys on here like Chris & George as im sure they will be able to give you alot better idea of audio set up and get the best sound from what you already have Good luck with it what ever way you go.

GTRsean Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Listen to a few peoples setups and see where you are at, if you want an idea of what sound you prefer.

G_Force Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 OK guys. Going to get new speakers today for my r32. Question is should I get splits 6's for the front or just go with some 2 way coax?Is the sound quality heaps better with the splits or not? yes. If ur on a tight budget, forget the rear fill's, spend the money u save there on a good set of front splits, amp them if u can for good mids n highs. Ur already running a sub thru an amp so thats the lows taken care of. Dont forget sound deadening, well worth it if u can afford it. If ur on a tight budget, just sound deaden as much of the doors as u can afford, then move on to the boot if ur budget allows.

aah00n Posted January 17, 2007 Author Share Posted January 17, 2007 Have decided to amp the front/rears... considering a Kicker IX404 4 CH ... Will get the amp first then find the speakers to match... Anyone had any experience with these before? How do they go?

Trav33 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Might be better to pick your splits first - there are so many different sounding ones you can get, warm sounding ones (for vocals), harser sounding ones which might be better for loud dance, etc etc etc. Go and listen to some, find a pair that suits the music you normally listen to, then get the right amp to drive them.

Midol Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Just don't bother with rears. Combine the price you wanted to spend on them and just get fronts. Check out the lower end of the Boston Acoustic gear. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/151518-splits-or-not/#findComment-2837584 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a pair of JL splits at the front and replaced the rear speakers with some xplods that are a few years old.

aah00n Posted January 20, 2007 Author Share Posted January 20, 2007 OK i have narrowed it down. I am after a set of splits that will match the Kicker IX404. I am considering SoundStream XSC.6 6.5" and want to know if you guys think it is worth spending a bit extra and getting the Tarantula TRC.6N 6.5"? Will there be a noticeable difference in the two? Also, what would you guys recommend... the SoundStreams or a set of Kicker K6.2 splits?

franky boy Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Im running some cadence 6.5inch splits in the front, cadence 6 inch 2-ways in rear and a 12inch sub in the boot and i get some sweet sound out of that, in my opinion go for the splits i really noticed the difference when i got mine.

mark_sudakov Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 , what would you guys recommend... the SoundStreams or a set of Kicker K6.2 splits? neither. Kicker and Soundstream r more better for amps and subs. For front splits brand to look out for r Hertz, Boston, Focal, DD, Morel, Rainbow, Dynaudio, etc. Last 3 r quite expensive. All these brands, except last 3, have something for each price range. There all good just depends which u think r better, which can only be done by listening to them. Some might have harsh tweeters, lack of midbass compared to others, etc Also the best cheap splits r the Jaycar 6.5" Kelvar Splits that can be had for $150 You can get these from: www.fhrxstudios.com/ Doran Pro Audio Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/151518-splits-or-not/#findComment-2844197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
