Advice needed: Kenwood vs JBL vs Infinity - 13cm Component Speakers
Hi guys
I am planning to upgrade the front speakers in my car. I have shortlisted the following sets : KENWOOD KFC-P503 KENWOOD KFC-PSR51P JBL GTO-506C INFINITY REFERENCE-5000cs Does anyone have any good/bad experiences ? I currently do not have any plans to fit a subwoofer (lack of space) so I am looking for a set that will have adequate bass response. Any help appreciated. Thanks Kind Regards, Alex |

Thanks Kind Regards, Alex I have tried many 5 1/4" comp. sets. The JBLs or Infinity is what I would choose if I were to pick out of the 4. The JBLs have better (not the best) bass response. But I have great experience with both brands. Although, the both of them have a characteristically 'weak'/'muffled' sub bass output (we're talking below 100Hz), they are extremely clear and precise in the vocal and higher frequency range. I cant compare that with the Kenwoods because I have never heard them. With 5 1/4"s, you have to be a little realistic; meaning, don't expect booming bass. They are small diameter woofers. Small speakers dont move a lot of air, which doesnt produce a lot of bass. If bass is something that you really want I would try supplementing with small midss (6 1/4") (replacing the Infinity/JBL woofers or try installing kickpanels with components that have larger woofers. Hope this helps somewhat. EFFENDI |

The audible difference is minimal but the efficiency will be different so
some will play louder than others fed the same wattage. Most offshore-made coaxials are very similar. P. "Alex" wrote in message om... Hi guys I am planning to upgrade the front speakers in my car.
