im trying to decide between kicker and kenwood speakers to upgrade too? anyone using anyone of these? how do you like them?
also, im trying to find a sub that wold fit in the back with the 3rd row seat(s) up?
thinking of going with a shallow mounted sub and box? or getting a bazooka tube?
just wondering what anyones using and how they like it?
I havent upgraded any of the speakers in the XK as of yet but if I were to id use nothing but JL Audio. Thats just my personal preference though.
I put infinity speakers throughout my XK. it is the single most impactful upgrade I have done to date. I am absolutely in love with the sound quality. Here are the part numbers.
Infinity Reference 6032cf 6.5-Inch
Infinity Reference 3032cf 3.5-Inch
Infinity Reference 9632cf 6x9-Inch
A few install notes. The 3.5"s are taller then the BAs I had, so the plastic grill is bowed up a little, but not too bad. Also, I had to drill new holes for the 6.5"s. The factory holes where too far apart for the infinitys. It wasn't a huge to do though, all in all, a pretty easy upgrade.
I did exactly the same upgrade with same issues. Also added a movable 10" JBL wedge cabinet behind the second row (it also fits behind 3rd row if they are up) w/ JBL 300W Class D amp for bottom end. I tried double 10's for a while but found it to be too much. I am missing some frequencies due to road rumble so originally thought I needed a 12" but am thinking now that two 8" subs might be better. Anyway - sounds like you like the Infinities - I think they are a bit bright but really smooth.
Some of my speakers keep cutting in and out lately, So some type of upgrade might be coming my way soon, so I will be paying attention to this topic.
That is a great way to put it. They are bright and smooth. For the type of music I listen to, they sound great.Quote:

I was looking into the 6.5" Alpine Type R for the back and the 6.5" Alpine Type R component for the front. I was looking to get the component for the front because whenever I turn the bass up my tweeters start to muffle. I had the basic sound system with no amp when I got it :( but since i've gotten a Power Acoustic amp which puts out very high power around 150rms which is where i'm experiencing problems finding speakers as I would like to spend under 120 per set.
