I hope I'm not posting in the wrong section. Just installed a Dual Head unit. So far it is great. It handles great bass and treble but there's no left speaker. So I thought hey let me just install brand new ones. What do you guys recommend for the front speakers? Thanks.

 

Rockford fosgates full range three way.

 

Upgrading speakers really depends on your budget. If you are not planning on adding an extra amp for the speakers, I would say you can go with Rockford Fosgate, Pioneer, Infinity, even Sony. All of these will sound better than the stock speakers. I would also recommend adding a subwoofer if it's in your budget. They really help with the low end that no 5.5" speaker can reproduce effectively. Best advice is to go to an audio store and see what sounds good to you.

 

most 6.5s will do pretty good... and yeah, 6.5....
pioneer 6.5 is pretty cheap at walmart... my green one runs those and i can't complain about sound quality. of course they are not competition series, but you'll pretty much feel like you're in a concert if you turn em up. they crap out if i turn my pioneer deck past 55, but that's to be expected... i don't think i've ever needed to go past 40 to listen to music loud...
my blue one came with cheap walmart 5.5 Dual speakers, and honestly, for what i listen to, i don't need anything more than that...

 

Thank you I ended up using my old pioneer

Thank you for the advice. I ended up using my old pioneer and they are pretty good. But I had to run a new wire from the door to the head unit which was a big b word lol

Thanks I'd check those when I get more money

 

kicker ks series 6.5s there very nice

 

Kicker all the way!

 

Is there no left speaker at all or no sound coming from your left speaker?

If its the latter then not even a new speaker will fix that issue. You'll have to rewire it. I cut the left speaker wires (+ and -) on the harness and then connected new speaker wire to it and ran it though the boot from the kick panel to the door to the new speaker.

 

I did the same thing. Although I would not say I had NO sound...if the door was open at the right angle, it would briefly make some sound But driving with it open to that spot was just not practical. HA

 

Man I hate these kind of threads. You're never going to get one right answer, you're only going to hear what others have in their rig and everybody has the best sounding speakers while all of the others suck. You can't go wrong with a brand name speaker that will fit into your budget.

 

It did have a speaker but it was very messed up once I brought it home to test. I basically did what you did. I put a positive and negative speaker wire straight from the head unit to the left door. thanks anyways

 

Ive been in car audio for 20 plus years, unless you are going full comp, cheap.speakers.sound.just fine

 

Exactly what I'm saying, a set of Pioneers from Wal-Mart will work just fine.
