Im looking to partner an Alpine CDA-9855 Ipod head unit with some speakers in my cab. At the moment Im just looking at the fronts. can anyone recommend some good components given the space restrictions?

Thanks

What's your budget.


I know Infinity make some good slim speakers. Why not go for some doorbuilds, and get some decent size speakers in there.

I'm happy with the MB Quarts I got, but their impedence is not as high as mainstream manufacturers, so stereo gets turned up higher than when I had my sony's in.

I do prefer them to sony, though, and they all fit fine. Bloody cross over is a pig though, bit like trying to find a place to stick a pack of 20.

chu, I don't want to go for door builds because its a motorsport with leather panels and I want to keep everything as standard as possible. Budget is probably not much more than Ԛ£100. What sort of money am I looking for Quart's or Infinity's?

I'm not a fan of kenwood dualmags or alpine type r's

MB Quart Ԛ£145

and...

Infinity Ԛ£90 or Ԛ£125. Both sets get good reviews in the magazines.
