Which splits?

[JimX]

I'm getting a JVC mp3 head unit tomorrow (SX-KD985), but don't know what speakers to get for it. I'm thinking Pioneer 6" splits for now, and I'll fill in the rear parcel shelf later (it had some 5x7" Kenwoods which didn't fit properly and weren't bolted down so I took them out).

Can anyone suggest a good model of speaker to suit an R33? Series 1 if the extra velour has any effect on the sound I want a strong loud bass without distortion, I'll probably look at running a separate amp before too long. I'm trying to avoid the need for a subwoofer because I need all the boot space I can get.

MB QUARTZ... I have to say it's all depends how much money you have to spend...

Trying to keep it below $250 or so. My previous Sony Xplod's in my last car were utter crap.

boston acoustics FS series, should be able to bargain to $250-275 (RRP round 300 from memory)

i think they would be the pick of the bunch for that price range, without buying used of course

Damn, just a bit too late to look for the Boston Acoustics I got some Pioneer TS-D160R's tonight with my JVC head unit. Got a pretty good price for both items, $390 for the head unit (RRP $539) and $260 for the speakers (RRP $320). Going to run the speakers off my old subwoofer amp (it's about 300W I think).

Focal splits are what I'd reccomend, they're sooo clear... I've got Alpine DD series in mine powered by a rockford fosgate amp. (Had to spend less on the speakers to get the amp)
