After removing the speaker grilles in my car, I found out that the PO had installed Boston Acoustics 4" Components. I googled it and it seems that these are old models from the '90s. I'm not that happy with the sound but don't want to invest in new expensive components. I drive my car mostly with windows open or top down, therefore, the sound of the headers & open-valved PSEs sound sweeter anyway. Therefore, I am thinking of something that are not that expensive in the less than $200 range per pair. I am thinking of switching them out to Morel or Focal 4" coaxials. Given the general thought that components usually sound better than coaxials, would you guys think that premium coaxials would yield better SQ over older technology components?

BTW, as usual, I'm buying replacement speakers without listening to them basing everything on reviews. Reason? Speakers sold here are all crap and I have to order the good ones online without ever listening to them.

Thanks for any opinions.

 

I would go 4" components in the front...either focal or mb quart (cheaper) and 5.25" in the rear...PM me for more info if you want

 

asialor996 can you please post your recommendations. I'm also looking to update my speakers on my cab.

 

My recomendations are Focal 100KRS in the Dash 13ks or 13ws in the doors and 130KR in the rear

Amps Focal Power 4.75 and 2.150(doors)

there are alot of options i have done and from various companies, JL, McIntosh, Audison, Herts.

Feel free to PM me for more info on specifics

 

Well, with 5.25s, my speaker options are greater. I already have a McIntosh 4-channel amp that I do not intend to replace with anything else.
