Just got a 1998 4Runner and the front speakers need replaced. They are okay at low to mid volumes, but sound cracked/blown at a decent volume. I'm not interested in replacing the deck. Shinny decks and broken windows seem to go hand in hand. I also dont like the look and fit of after market decks.

Anyway, after a bit of research, found that the front doors take 6 1/2s. Am I dumb to spend $150 on a pair of Infinity 60.7CS? The reviews on them are quite decent, but are they overkill for a stock deck?

I realize you cant expect much bass from a 6 inch speaker, but if not these, what would you recommend?

Ignore the $300 price tag as I would never pay that much. $150 on ebay.

 

wont sound to good with a factory deck also those speakers are 2-ohm you would need a amp ... and well almost any component speakers well need a good amp

 

If you don't wanna replace your deck check into some of the cheaper Pioneers, they usually do pretty good even when heavily underpowered.

These should do good.

I got these, http://www.crutchfield.com/S-2OVy2NP...ston+Acoustics

They were really easy to install in the fronts, rear of the x-cab in my t100 was a PITA though.

I had cracking and popping and the systemw ould shut downw hen you cranked it to high using an older pioneer head unit and the stock speakers. I installed the new speakers and same crap, I ripped out the headunit and check the connects and some were a bit loose and there was a cable attached to nothing that I put electical tape over the exposed connections.

Check your head unit before you do anything..

 

Polk Audio component speakers & Alpine head unit - not that expensive & Sounds terrific.

U need to match speaker choice with type of music you listen tooo...

 

Thanks for the help. Looks like I'll probably end up with some mid priced Polks or Pioneers. Hopefully I get around to it sooner than later. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

If you want high end stuff at a reasonable price, these would absolutely own those Infinities, have a very clear and natural silk tweeter, and can be had for $230 shipped from an authorized dealer I know of. http://car.rainbow-audio.de/products...=2&pro=1&lin=7

If ya want a 6.5 with amazing midbass move up to these, around $300 shipped from same dealer
