Front Speakers which should i get?

looking on crutch field for new fronts since the driver side stopped working, and my passenger side is about to go out, both still original lol.. the backs were changed with infinity last year and still going strong.

not looking for woofer and tweeters separated, the all in one 2 way i believe its called...

the only 3 i see on crutchfield is these... not much to choose from


Kenwood KFC-1362S

Pioneer TS-G1343R

Sony XS-GT1326A

go with the kenwood the sensitivity is 2db better and it can handle an extra 3 watts rms and 10 max compared the pioneer. the only advantage the pioneer has is 4khz more at the top end but you cant hear 20+ khz anyway so not much point. if there is a price difference get the cheaper one cause honestly you wont be able to tell the difference.

If there's a coaxial that allows you to rotate or adjust the aim of the tweeter, get that one. High frequencies are very directional, and if you're using the stock mounting positions, you're going to want a coax that lets you point the tweeters upward instead of aimed at your ankles.

btw Crutchfield sometimes offers sales on speakers, but otherwise you're better off getting them elsewhere, and you'll automatically be on placed on their monthly mailing list.

I recommend visiting your local car stereo dealer and checking out the speakers for yourself. Plus if you bring cash, then you'll have a better chance politely negotiating a discount. Bring $50-60 with you. With coaxials (2-way speakers with built-in resistor crossovers), there's not going to be much improvement in sound quality above that price range, unless you go with components (separate speakers with external crossovers).

check for Infinity also in the front. since Infinity speaker works on e ohm the will sound much stronger with less power.
They also make component system and coaxial. so...it's just your choise.
