Are these speaker's any good?

[TEK30001]

I have orion speakers and will never go back to pioneer. But hey they are bout better than stock speakers.

Focal and hertz abbr two of the best brands out right now for car Audio.
Coming in around 1200 dollars a pair. They require a sound processor to sound best. But for a good price I suggest American bass sq 6 1/2 s or soundstream. sorry but jl is over priced

Ok, so i decided instead of goin with speakers, i'm goin to get a single 10" sub. I'm keeping the factory Blaupunkt HU and I was wondering, would I still need a line out converter or does the factory hu come with amp preouts?

You will still need to get the convertor, if the car came with a factory amp. It will be harder to pull off

I don't believe my car has an amp because I don't have a factory sub. Also how many watts could the stock HU put out? I'm thinkin about gettin a 200w amp and 300w rms sub. Obviously nothing too crazy but just want a lil boom in my ride. Thanks for the advice.

From what ive seen, the stock HU puts out like 10-15 per speaker. for a total of 50-60w.

Adding a sub is definately a good way to get some more boom. I highly recommend getting a different headunit though, even a $120 kenwood or sony unit will get better sound than the blapunkt unit, and its easier to hook up a new amp/sub to a aftermarket headunit. Not to mention giving you aux inputs and other such fun things.

Ya thats definatly true. Im kinda pissed i only got a 200w amp tho since the sub is 300 rms. It was a package deal for a good price so i went for it. I guess i could always swap amps down the road. How hard is it to install a HU?

They are pretty easy to install.
