Best front speakers in the $3-400 range - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

metaphysician · 10-02-2011, 07:08 PM

Looking to upgrade my front components and seeking suggestions. There is so much out there! I'd like to spend $400 max. I do not plan to upgrade the stock amp or anything else soon. Maybe a sub in the trunk down the road. I was looking at Focals but there are several in this price range and I'm having a hard time making a decision. Thanks in advance.

Diamond audio is the best I've heard. They start at d1 and go up to d6. Really great speakers.

Digital Design for the subs. They are the best in the industry.

You might be able to get a set of Focal Polyglass components for right around $400. Theyre a very clean setup in the Focal line.

Focal fan here too. Lot's of choices. CDT, B&W also come to mind.

I have had Focal in my cars for the past 10+ years. I have installed the Hybrid Audio speakers in my SS and am very happy with them. Worth checking them out. Scott the owner will listen and work with you to get the sound you want. Good luck with your choice - it will be much better than stock.

Look into rainbow audio, dls, hybrid audio, morel, hertz

Diamond Comp series always treated me nice and Focal get some good reviews as well..

I wouldn't touch any of the speakers in the single digit price range.

Bowers & Wilkins does car audio? If they did, probably not for under $400...

Good stuff, though, on the home side!

I have only heard of B&W do Jaguar OEM Car audio, not sure if they make aftermarket car speakers.

If interested, I have access to Dynaudio, as a home audio dealer I can try to pull some strings...And I'm local

Hamilton2400 · 10-03-2011, 08:29 PM

hertz audio!

Blacktip · 10-04-2011, 09:07 AM

I was interested in replacing mine as well...i am not trying to compete, or put my car in any shows...so $300- 400 sounds about right.
whats the best place to get Focal or Hertz?
