Hey i have a 2000 blazer 2dr. non bose will all factory speakers. I have the factory tweeters, 7" in the door and 6x9 midpanels. I am planning on putting all new speakers in. I was wondering if anybody could tell me a good setup with Alpines or maybe infinitys.

i personally love my alpine system its all described below (see sig) but im sure the type r speakers would sound great aswell but then u pretty much have to amp them and i didnt want to do that so i got type s

One last question. Has anybody ever had any experience with buying speakers off of ebay?? I was thinking about getting my speakers from there. Obviously I would only buy from a power seller with great feedback. Many of them claim their items are brand new in the box and still have warrantys. I was just wondering if anybody has ever went this route and what were the results. I dont want to get some speakers and have them crap out in a few days.

But from a store...get a good warranty

Buy from ebay...take your chances

buy from the store idk where u live but i go to bestbuy>>> (u know what ur getting) u could always go to ebay BUT>>> (u dont always know what ur getting) my choice was bestbuy but im sure the deals are better on ebay and all that stuff

ok i went to crutchfield and have done a little looking around and i think i have figured out a decent setup

Infinity Reference 1011t for the tweets

6 1/2" Infinity Reference 6012si for the front doors

6x9" kicker ks69 for my midpanels. ( i was gonna go with infinity reference 9612i but crutchfield says they wont fit and the rest of the models are out of my price range.)



I know there are some higher quality speakers I could get but I am just trying to get the best bang for my buck. The main thing i want is clearer mids and highs and i think this setup will do it. I have subs hooked up so im not really worried about the bass repsonse. Any opinions on this setup?? and how easy is it to install the new tweets?? if there any modification that has to be done so they will fit?

IF you like geting SCREWED over by BESTBUY and CIRCUIT CITY and TWEETER go to them but you can find alot of good places on the net like etronics.com i got 2 systems from them and they offer some good stuff but they also have junk but when you pay 10 bucks for speakers you got to wonder how good
the stuff is but personally i like heavy metal rock and tight sounding bass and i have all power acoustik speakers, components, subs, amps the bass is tight and hard and i love how crazy how the speakers play all frequencies and can take an exessive amount of power its nice listening to it and the drummer goes into a 3 min solo an you can hear the bass the snare the high hats

this thread is dead.....and u dont always get screwed over by bestbuy i got 2 sets of alpine type s speakers for 160 narmally there 200 and they gave me discounts like that on everything but then again i did by quite a bit of stuff[sm=guilty.gif]

yea i didnt look at the date i just think they deffentally add the middle man retail price in there its not saying that they have crappy stereo stuff its just they prices are high compared to crutchfield and etronics i got my alpine type s's for a 100 dollars at crutchfield

infinity is a good company, but stay away from the reference line. you need to get the kappa line to here what infinity is really made of. and kicker isnt well known for there speakers. but i havent heard them b4, i guess give em a try

kicker is great stuff, never heard their "little" speakers. Their subs(I love L7s, the square ones) and amps are awsome.

Not all of ebay is safe. You're gonna get somebody selling a piece of crap, you just have to be careful who you buy from. Money back guarantees are always nice too.

there are a few scammers out there, but id say like 99.9% of ebay is safe. after all 98% is wholesalers now. lol

ebays pretty good just buy some name brand stuff an not replicas or anything like that my brother bought some 6x9's and a head unit with a warranty on the unit well the 6x9s blew after 2 days and the headunits face was one of those dual motorized things and the face wouldnt light up and we couldnt get any customer service my advice is to buy through a store with there own website they are trust worthy
