6.5" coax. some cutting/shutting might need to be done.

Whats your budget ?

I own a baleno altura model, pioneer 5050ub, jbl 638 rear and stock front(nippon) i believe.
The wiring is default which means almost 7 years old, the 638's sort of crackle at higher volumes, could just be a bad installation but can it also be attributed the the wiring ?
Planning to get the front changed, what do you guys recommend?
I'm not much of a bass fan but would like more clarity, does an amplifier without a bass unit make any sense? If yes, which one.
Work will be done @ driven, east of kailash.
Are second hand amps reliable ?

@ Akshay , See if you can find a pair of JBL 608C components for that price it would be a better deal than a co-axials I believe it costs around 4.5K

@ Sukrit7 , At high volumes the 638's may crackle due to the power output from the head unit, adding an amp might solve the problem, go in for a pair of component speakers up front and amplifiers don't come with any bass unit.Second hand amps ? I still have a 14 year old sony Xplod 6 channel amp and it works fine. !!

608C compos are in my mind but i heard them recently
they were quite bright,may be i need to check them in some other car

muneemmk · 12th March 2009, 13:46

Under 4K Alpine E & S type 6.5" co-axials sounds pretty much sweet.

their crossovers also have two settings. make sure they were not set to the brighter one. Having said that , I think blaupunkt has some comps which might fall in that price range. Else you can try second hand

else coax will do fine . Why not hertz

Is there any way to Install noise cancellation units in car? this way we can have very silent ride. New Honda Accord has this feature.

Might cause you to not hear honking and other sounds as well.

Thankyou, i didn't mean an amp with a bass unit inbuilt, i meant do people use one without installing a bass unit.
I think i'll power the rear speakers with an amp then, sounds fine ?
