I need some new front speakers, because I blew them out. They are stock. So, I need a upgrade. Here are a couple I've been looking at. If you have another idea for me please don't be afraid to post a link or something. Max price I want to pay is $100 they are just door speakers. I need 5 1/4" speakers.

i like alpine too, but what sounds best to you. Alpinehas the best quality, alot of people swear by infinity's, pioneer is a favorite among many. Choose what sounds best to you.

I'd first say look else where for places to buy from:
User posted image
Alpine SPR-13C Type-R's @ Sonic Electronix for $89.99 before ship.
User posted image
Infinity Kappa 52.9I @ Sonic for $84.99 before ship.
User posted image
Pioneer Premier TS-D502P @ Sonic for $69.99 before ship.

These are just the top of the line (before components) of the ones you listed above... All are good units, I installed a set of the Pioneers in a customers truck and they are handling being amplified really well... All three a good brands, so it's all in initial cost and brand loyalty...

I couldn't think of a title. I really don't want to have them shipped. I want something where I can go into a best buy or circuit city near me and get them installed.

I am pretty much wondering what are your thoughts on the 3 choices. The good/bad things about them. ect

i say go for the infinity. side by side comparison the infinity sound better. the alpine's tend to have a little to much bass. i still enjoy both speakers, but my first choice would be infinity and then alpine. i work at best buy in car audio so i get to mess with these alot.

Infinity looks like the best specs.
It's really up to what you prefer.
They are all real close.
But i'd go infinity.

Why do we have mods again?

you don't even need to spend that much, i got all 4 speakers replaced for 50 w/o shipping

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9576_Kenwood+KFC-1361S.html

relatively the same speakers i have through my whole car and they never distort, unless bass is thrown at them but thats why i have a sub.

but if you already have bass and want to keep that in the speakers i suggest

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13962_Infinity+Kappa+52.9I.html

or the reference's that everyone else is suggesting

Go to Best Buy and listen to a side by side comparison. Then choose the one you like better.

Look at MB Quarts, Infinity, or CDT. Don't get Alpine speakers, they suck. Great HUs and amps though.
