Best 4x6 Speakers??, Time to install the tunes! Options

[surferjoe]

Well, it looks like that time. I need to find a really nice set of 4x6 speakers for my little guy. I was reading that the Infinity Kappa series 4x6 is rated one of the best. They can be run from the HeadUnit, but may need a small amp to really push them. That means I would probably need to install it in the front and run the wires. I just dont want to wear down the battery with my music. I plan on getting one of the newer series Alpine's that play MP3's.

Any suggestions or experience with these?

If I may offer a counterpoint....I also spent 6 years installing 12-volt audio and alarms (now a P-tech) and much as I dont want to start a war here I am totally the other side of the fence on Sony vs. Alpine. in that time (6 years) I think I saw two alpines come back for legitamate problems and at least that many sony's per week. I wont buy anything but Alpine for my own cars (although I did try a kenwood Z919 when they were the first to offer an mp3 player (6 mo. before aiwa) and, like skline, I also found it to be pretty lousy). I have been told by guys at other shops that Eclipse is also a very good product but we didn't sell them so I have no first hand exp. And I never really liked the look of them. I would very strongly say go for the alpine. they cost more for a reason.

as for the speakers everyone alse has pretty much summed that up.

Again I am not here to argue, just my opinion and exp.
