Speaker buying online??

hornsfan44 · Aug 18, 2009

Where has everyone found the best deals online. Is my best bet still to dig through Ebay? Ive used Crutchfield in the past and felt like I overpaid. There are TONS of 'discount/warehouse/closeout' car audio sites and Im looking for a solid deal on stuff....

On some things, Crutchfield is a rip-off, but a few times I've been pricing out speakers and found them to be comparable. I've dealt with etronics.com a few times and had no problems. Maybe if you tell us what you're looking for we can help you find it.

just looking for 2 ohm components for the front and some 6.5's for the back doors. Im just upgrading speakers as of right now

Here is my advice for speaker shopping if your a n00b haha:
1) Go to crutchfield and "chat" with a specialist to find out exactly what you want (Model, brand)
2)Search eBay, Craigslist, everywhere else online to get a good deal on the speakers they recommend ha

My $0.02 get Alpine Type Rs, I love them in my Hoe (no homo)

If you're looking for 2Ohm components, I think you're choices are limited. Only aftermarkets I know that are 2Ohm are Infinity Reference series.

Infinity is the direction I usually go on car audio. I do think JL has some 2 ohm components as well though. I know the Reference Series are 2 ohm, I wounde rin the Kappas are as well.....

I agree with Mike, I know JL does not make any 2 ohm components or coax speakers.

are the jl speakers any good i have yet to hear any but ive been looking at them anybody heard them.......

sdgd711 · Aug 18, 2009

I used to have two sets of XRs in my old truck and I worked for a JL dealer for years so I have heard pretty much everything as far as their current lineup (and a lot of their old stuff). The only ones I'm not a fan of are the ZR Series. Personally I would go with Hertz as my first choice, then Focal, then probably JL, but it all depends on what your price range is.

thanks man ive been looking at focal to im not sure yet..... i still got a little bit of time before i start buying everything.....

Try sonic electronix.

Infinity Reference speakers FTMFW!

I just ordered a set and will get pics of the install when they get here! The people over at Crutchfield were great in helping me pick out a set of Budget minded but excellent quality and sound speakers!

The infinity's are in fact 2OHM's. They were the only speakers to work with the Amp in my truck as well.

Sonic electronics is where i bought some of my stuff from. Good prices. Heard some horror stories bout them, but i had a good expierence.

hornsfan44 · Aug 19, 2009

Thanks for the tip on sonic electronics, I will check into them. Am definitely interested in install pics from your Infinity's

If you go with infinity make sure you go wit Kappas. The reference series are not as good.
