Recommend Speakers

Hey everyone, So my nnbs didn't come with bose and the stock speakers work OK but just not as good as the bose ones did in my old truck. Now I'm keeping the stock head unit and want to just get some quick swap in speakers.


I was thinking about these

Amazon.com: Rockford Fosgate R165X3 Prime 6.5-Inch Full Range 3-Way Coaxial Speaker - Set of 2: Car Electronics

Anyone have any input? I want some decent speakers with a lil more bump but dont want to spend a fortune either.

None will sound much better with out an amp.

I think James has those same speakers. They sound decent, I've got Focal seperates in the doors of the GMC(6.5 front/5.5 rear). Bought them from crutchfield a while back and think I spent around $250 total. Crystal clear and great bass response.

You get what you pay for jsyk. If you can afford separates definitly go that route.

its not that i cant afford its just it doesn't really matter a TON for me to have the best, just want something a little more powerful

Do these on the front then get some coaxials for the rear imo.

Also try to get the largest speaker you can in the stock location for the best response.

Do component in front, coax in rear. I have infinity set up that way and like it

was it worth it?

get an amp or at least an aftermarket deck, or don't even bother

I have the Focals a step down from Tony in the front, I got mine from sonic have about $150 into them and they are legit Focals not a knockoff, and some Fosgate 5 1/4" components I had laying around in the rear, I am running the Bose amp for those but its SO much clearer. If you can find a deal on seperates for front and rear that would be your best bet but I would atleast try to find some for the front. Another option would be to just add a sub and amp to the factory setup.
