what speakers to buy. keep blowing them.

[sweefu]

Ha ha! It just took me a while to find it or I would have posted sooner, should be compulsory to read before starting topics about blowing up speakers.

If it's at the point where he is BLOWING speakers, then I'm fairly sure that the distortion would be very obvious.

Have you blown many speakers? They can gradually burn or tear over an extended period of time.

ok woah this has gone a bit off topic lol..

what i mean when i said 50-60% is i tuned the amp properly by starting the head unit volume about 75%, turning gain on amp to 0 and slowly turning it up until i heard distortion, but then i turned it back down a bit more (i know you turn it back a bit but i did it even more to be safe) and i never turn the volume past about 80% on head unit cause i could hear distortion always, so its never been thrashed.

i understand the head unit is not the one that you want the max output from, thats just the signal to the amp. but anyway the topic is about which speakers are better not how i tune the amp lol..

these brands I've never heard of, can you just get them off internet or have to go to someone specialist, I'm happy to pay good money cause the last 2 times failed lol.

the thing i don't understand is that i take it easy on the gain. don't turn it up too loud, when i do i turn it down if i hear it struggling, and they still blow. i think it might be the amp for some reason but as i said no way to tell really without paying someone a lot of money to look at or ripping the whole thing out again lol.

anyone got any links to the brands they said? i would like to go around 120W rms handling to be safe.

cheers

ps that link doesn't work.

and again its not about how its tuned its about the gear. if i wanted to know how to tune a system i would have read it myself

I'll suggest some speakers, after all I gather this is what you wanted in the first place.

Morel Tempo = ~$300?

Audison Voce K6 = RRP$600 but should be had for around $500, these are awesome value for money, very good component set.

Link isn't working as website is down for maintenance at the moment, will be back online soo

ps that link doesn't work.

This is very wrong, its not about the gear at all. My midwoofers were $69.50 each, I have taken first place when other cars had $1500 speakers.

It is about install more than anything else. The quality of the install is more important than the speaker itself. Spend money on sound deadening, solid mounting and good angles for the midwoofer and tweeter, those are the keys to success.

i personally like fusion powerplant 6.5'' splits i had them for ages and never blew them and they were driven hard.

 

[DAKSTER]

I have 150w 6.5" pioneer splits in the front, $250 or so, 150w 6.5" pioneer dual cones in the back, $150 or so, and a single 10" 400w JBL sub in the rear, $200 with the box. Amp is a Pioneer 5 channel, 4x100, 1x400, cost me 50 bucks at a garage sale. HU is a bluetooth/usb pioneer think it was about $250 a couple years ago, its been in a few cars.

I just set the volume on the HU to 40 with all the gains down, and wound them up one by one till they starting cracking up, then backed them off again.

I listen to classic rock and Floyd.

I'm just someone who likes good music and likes to be able to crank it up without insulting my ears when a good song is on. I know nothing of the fancy stuff they measure stereos by these days. I do know I get a nice sharp bass, with some rumble when needed, the mids are clear and crisp and the highs are all there. The volume is enough to make me want to turn it down again after a couple of songs, it just gets too much.

So long as I dont go past 40 out of the possible 50 on the volume, I can play anything with no discernable distortion and I have never had a problem or complaint with these reasonably cheap speakers. I like them and would buy them again.

 

[wraith]

Just to clarify. The reason people are suggesting things other then speakers is so he doesn't go though another set and wonder why.

 

[DAKSTER]

Yeah we tried to tell him that but in the end its just easier to answer his original question and give up. Personally, I'd be more interested in finding out why the speakers are blowing before I laid out any more cash for more speakers.

 

[bogan_vk]

isnt it simple? just dont let them distort constantly and they wont blow ,if theyre distorting turn the volume down i know bugger all about this but isnt that why speakers blow.
