Speaker buying online??

[hornsfan44]

Where has everyone found the best deals online. Is my best bet still to dig through Ebay? Ive used Crutchfield in the past and felt like I overpaid. There are TONS of 'discount/warehouse/closeout' car audio sites and Im looking for a solid deal on stuff....

On some things, Crutchfield is a rip-off, but a few times I've been pricing out speakers and found them to be comparable. I've dealt with etronics.com a few times and had no problems. Maybe if you tell us what you're looking for we can help you find it.

just looking for 2 ohm components for the front and some 6.5's for the back doors. Im just upgrading speakers as of right now

Here is my advice for speaker shopping if your a n00b haha:
1) Go to crutchfield and "chat" with a specialist to find out exactly what you want (Model, brand)
2)Search eBay, Craigslist, everywhere else online to get a good deal on the speakers they recommend ha

My $0.02 get Alpine Type Rs, I love them in my Hoe (no homo)

If you're looking for 2Ohm components, I think you're choices are limited. Only aftermarkets I know that are 2Ohm are Infinity Reference series.

Infinity is the direction I usually go on car audio. I do think JL has some 2 ohm components as well though. I know the Reference Series are 2 ohm, I wounde rin the Kappas are as well.....

I agree with Mike, I know JL does not make any 2 ohm components or coax speakers.

are the jl speakers any good i have yet to hear any but ive been looking at them anybody heard them.......

 

[sdgd711]

I used to have two sets of XRs in my old truck and I worked for a JL dealer for years so I have heard pretty much everything as far as their current lineup (and a lot of their old stuff). The only ones I'm not a fan of are the ZR Series. Personally I would go with Hertz as my first choice, then Focal, then probably JL, but it all depends on what your price range is.
