Question

the subs are killin the stock speakers in the doors... and i wanna turn em up LOUD...

any suggestions on what speakers i shud get for the doors?

Answer 1

Stick with JL Audio, you cant go wrong with them. The size that fits your vehicle are 6x8s. Also you really should amplify them so that they can keep up with your sub. Hope this helped.

Answer 2

you cant put an amp on the factory installed speakers because you would blow then as soon as you sent power to them (most factory speakers can only handle about 25watts RMS each)

as far as what speakers to get you have 6x8 in the front and the back

i would send no bass to them, just mids and highs, and i would use some bass blockers to do that (plus they protect them), here they are http://www.crutchfield.com/g_761/Bass-Bl...

Full-range Speakers

Full-range speakers accurately reproduce your music's frequency range by mounting a tweeter inside the woofer cone. This is also known as a coaxial, or 2-way speaker. Some versions may add midranges or supertweeters to better reproduce other parts of the frequency spectrum. These are also referred to by the number of drivers (3-way, 4-way, etc.).

Component System

Component systems, or separates, use a superior speaker design to give you the best possible sound. A typical separates system includes 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, and 2 external crossovers — all of which are designed to work smoothly with one another.

Generally, components are made of better materials than their two- or three-way counterparts. You can position the separate tweeters for optimal imaging. Given adequate power, separates deliver exceptional dynamics and detail.

now when it comes to what ones you get it depends on the wattage you have for them--- if you are going to power them off of the radios internal amp then you need to find some that dont require anymore than about 40watts RMS each because the radios internal amp is not that powerful, if the speakers need more power then it will just over work the radio making it run hotter and the speakers will be distorted because of a clipped signal from a lack of wattage and distortion is the main casue of speaker damage

if you dont want to get an amp then look for speakers that have a high sensitivity becasue a speaker with a sensitivity rating that's 3 dB higher than another speaker's only needs half as much power to deliver the same amount of sound

Answer 3

check out crutchfield.com for size . you really should put an amp on those fronts with a highpass crossover or you will just kill your new speaks too!!
