i was just wondering if anyone has any opinion on what i want to do to my truck audio. I currently have a JVC 200watt deck with 2 6-1/2 kenwood (max 160 watts) 2 way speakers in the front(model kfc-1679ie)

and i am going to buy 2 Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X688C 6"x8" (max 220 watts)Speakers for the back and a Kenwood KAC-8401
60W x 4 Car Amp

please give me your opinions thanks

 

I'd give you a thumbs up.

Good combo, you have an aftermarket deck, amp running 4 aftermarket speakers. Kenwood and JVC have a pretty respected name in caraudio, and you'll have a nice sounding system!

Get what you think sounds good. You know what you need better than anyone else on this board!

 

Frostby is right. Only you can tell yourself what you like. Everyone here has their own opinion on what they like. Myself, I like Alpine and JL Audio. Both are overpriced (IMO) but I trust them and have for 20 years.

Most people here will tell you to go with what you like and what you can afford. Always stick with brand names that you see on this or other boards. Kenwood and JVC are good brand names. You will be happy with your choice if you decide to get them

Good luck

 

i am actually getting these instead 2 Kenwood KFC-C6889ie 240 peak watt 3 channel speakers and a Phoenix Gold QX500.5 amp Bridged RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 150W x 2 + 225W x 1

 

Sounds like a pretty good setup. You should be happy with it. What speakers are you going to be powering with that amp? I am sure you know, but just to make sure.... You know that when speakers say "120W Peak", that means for a split second at that power level. You need to see what the "RMS" power level is, and go from there. That is what the speaker can hold continuously. Those 6x8's will only hold a MAX of 60 Watts. That amp will blow those speakers in NO TIME! If you already knew this, or maybe I misunderstood what you are doing with the amp... I am sorry! Let us know what is up!
