    Default Value for money splits?

    Hey all,
    Going ahead with phreddy's mod soon and have got my 6x9's for the back and 6" for the back doors.
    Just wanting to know what splits to get for the front, i use pioneer mostly but am open to other suggestions.
    They will be running off an amp so what does everyone else use?

    budget?

    probably below $250 Jaycar splits

    above $250 opens you up to Focal DD....

    Jaycar splits are great for their price. If you have got few hundred to spend on them, maybe pionner or focal.
    There are no stupid questions, just stupid people

    I also recommend jaycar splits if you don't want to spend too much. Good sound for a good price.

    jaycar or jvc, unless you want to spend above 300-400, then look at your bostons, focals etc

    the jvc are nice smooth sounding components. they were my choice till I got the pioneer kevlar splits tsc-160r

    Yeah, there's not much need to run two sets of rear speakers... The 6x9's will be more than enough for the rear passengers. Any more sound from the rear and it'll be dragging your sound stage back way too far.

    How much do you have to spend on splits?

    the fusion splits below $250 will most likely be made from inferior materials and probably won't even include a cross over

    as i said jaycar

    Even just the 6 x 9's will drag the sound stage back too far. 2 way coaxials in the back is adequate as rear fill in my opinion.

    CAFO and StoneX

    A little friendly rivalry is fine here and there but don't let it get out of control again.
