Good set of 6.5 speakers

[jakmobile]

I'm looking to replace the front and rear speakers in my 98 LGT wagon. What are some good sets that don't require modification for this car? Also, I won't be running an external amp, the speakers will only be powered by the Alpine head.

I was thinking about getting Boston's SX65, anyone have experience with these?

no experience with them, but I have used Infiniti Speakers in my STi and I loved them.
you can get Infinity Reference 6002i 6-1/2's for like $60 and they sound good without an amp

Will I still get rear deck rattle from these? If so I plan on putting some foam in there to get rid of it.

The deck rattle is probably from the factory material on the deck. its like a black tar or somthing. mine was doing the same thing, I got some Dynamat and I peeled off all the factory stuf and replaced it with that.. no more rattles here.

what is Dynamat?

Anti vibration/sound reflective padding

I also run the 6.5 Kappas in my car. sound great just on deck

Ohh... ok

yeah I've been looking for new speakers for quite some time but when I see something I like I'll hear nothing but bad things so I havn't bought anything.

I want exactly what jakmobile wants, Im tired of the crappy stock speakers.

The stuff I used was a generic brand like listed above works just as good as dynomat. I used dynomat in my STi and this stuff in the legacy and they both work great

[Superu264]

$110 sounds like a lot, I think Im just gonna be cheap and buy some foam to throw back there.. I havn't taken the deck apart Im not sure what it looks like yet but Im sure I can find a cheap way to get it done.

dout you could go wrong with MB Qaurts too but more $$$

[NewGenSTi]

well you dont need a whole roll that was just an example.. you would only need a little piece for the rear deck..

Guys, I have a set of JL Audio 6 1/2 coaxial speakers I am about to pull out of my '91 Legacy if you're interested. I didn't use the speaker grills so those have been stored inside and are in mint shape. Great sounding speakers which have served me well.

The Mb Quarts are worth it ....I love mine they sound great even with a factory headunit!!! :twisted:
