Which brand of car speakers for a 98 ford explorer sport is better; rockford fosgate or clarion [5x7's] ??

Question

Im looking to replace the stock speakers in my explorer sport, and a friend is offering to sell me 2 of his clarion 5x7's for $40 and another friend said he could do my whole car [4 speakers] with rockford fosgates for $80. Which brand of speakers is better and will give me a better sound quality, price aside??

Answer 1

rockford is a old brand!!  so i would pick  rockford

Answer 2

since you didn't list the model numbers for comparison i am going to go with the Clarion's, Fosgates have better subs and amps but for inside speakers they are not so hot

but you can go for the ones that have the higher sensitivity, and the largest frequency range (or the frequency range that suits your music taste)

Answer 3

i like rockford myself

Answer 4

clarion is a better brand

Answer 5

well look at the rms watts or nominal watts not max. ive had alot of both brands and there both good but for highs i personally like clarion because all the clarion highs i had sounded really good and lasted a long time i think rockford subs are good but i couldnt get as much out of the rockford highs as i got out clarion but i would go with what has more rms or nom watts.
