These are pretty cheap compared to the C2's but sound almost as amazing and have a lower freq response then most mid drivers for the price so you could probably get more depth from the low-ends on these. I've also ran about 100rms to each one of these before and they took it like a champ.

Dude think what you want theres very few people who know their shit on this part of the forum I was being synical on purpose because you didn't list your speaker sizes and why should I go out of my way to research it? Point is if you want clarity it's all about the setup getting 3 ways and calling it a day isn't going to work.

Do you even have crossovers? Do you have a 4 channel? My suggestion is going for components if you want more mid-bass a lot of low-end coaxials are lack luster in that department which is why I recommend the 2-way c2's because they're the loudest cleanest coaxials I've ever heard for the price. You will spend just as much on crossover, tweeter, mid driver as you will on one solid coaxial.

I can recommend speakers all day but if you don't install them properly or have the means of doing it they will always sound lackluster. Another suggestion for good mid-bass is fiberglassing door pods or putting your speakers in their own box, ever ran a subwoofer free-air? yeah sounds like shit compared to one in a box same goes for door speakers.

Theres much you can do but apparently I don't know what I'm talking about because I didn't answer your question with my first response because you didn't give enough information, if you get those Rockfords you will run into the SAME problem you have now because they are low-end crappy drivers.


i followed the fucking sticky.. then i told you they wouldn't fit, and you told me "these will fit in your car", you can save your attitude for some kid, i don't need your help.

a head unit will play a big role in how the speakers sound. i really think my suggestion would fit your needs but we can explore other options like components if you want.

for example these would remove the tower and give you a full size midwoofer http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item%5F19508%5FRockford-Fosgate-Power-T1682.html



the head unit was one that i had eyed up, i don't think that's a bad choice, i know rock-fos makes good amps, i used to live just up the road from rockford, have a reasonable exposure to some of their equipment, thus my apprehension to jump on em. mind you i've never dealt with 5-7/6-8s before. it doesn't need to be loud (ovb should be loud, but i'm not trying to put them to their limits here)

How about you stfu you come here asking for help and I offer help and you act like a snot nosed brat you followed the sticky and failed to mention key things like if you have a 4 channel, crossovers how you set your deck what size speakers you need. You just wrote a page of non-sense basically, I gave you some of the best help you're going to get Rockford is junk and all they make correctly is good amplifiers you're going to get those speakers and have the exact same experience and I'm going to laugh.

Also that Kenwood is over-priced for what it offers:

this is a MUCH better deal imo. says 14watts rms x 4 but it realistically doesn't clip until about 20rms from what I've heard from reviewers and my boy has one and it sounds great lots of good options too and unlike Kenwood easy to use.

i think for what you want they'll be fine. if you want to get the most out of the mids you'll probably want to do components or ones like the rockfords i linked.

i mean if you want to just cruise the selection i'm fine with it.

Not bashing your recommendation at all Subwoofer that kenwood/rockford is a viable entry setup but it just sounds like he wants more and is unwilling to penny up really at his price range nothing will differ much it's just going to be a waste imo that's all I'm saying. and I see those Rockfords recommended wayyyy too much by people sure they're decent but imo nothing compared to some of the speakers you can get for $20 extra.

Just letting you know OP that a stock headunit usually gives out close to what an aftermarket one does and mid-range coaxials do about the same as most stock door speakers the difference is all in the setup and the frequency ranges/crossovers and properly amping your speakers. Getting anything that's 80wrms and feeding it 20rms off the headunit is going to yield mediocre results but yeah I'm done you can take over Subwoofer.
