Do they look any good just got some tweeter pods so its an excuse to get some components up front

Good set of speakers but if you can push your budget these are a little better.

Double check the depth if they are for the front footwells.

i only ever have alpine as they are really good quality.

but i would look further up the range if you dont mind spending a bit more.

ummm im sure i could spend an extra 10er might end up getting these.

ive heard alot of people getting infinity stuff i take it there better than alpine, i'm not very good when it comes to car audio brands lol

Its all about preference, Alpine treble a lot, Infinity are bassier, ill have a fish around tomorrow see if I can find some others. What type of music/headunit/price are you looking for. Falls asleep.

Moz

ive got a head unit its 4x 45w if thats any help but would prefer them more bassier than trebley only want to spend around £40 pound

A little over budget, I had these some time ago and liked them a lot

If not id say the infinties are the best buy. You could try using 17cm in the rear shelf like I did with spacers for bass. I need my boot so i didnt want a sub.

I have a set of those infinities - and they are quite the opposite in fact!

When installed in my golf, the tweeters were very bright, but a little work on the positioning should hopefully sort that out in the E30 - when they eventually go in. BTW - you're the first person I've ever heard recommend any xplop gear!

The infinities are still good for the money though.

Infinities ared definately the best recommendation so far, the alpines sound like its just a tweeter running
The xplod's are good speakers, they just dont like too much power, they do sound good on head unit power

what about the depth on the infinitys would they fit ok

no worse than standard speakers bud IIRC quite shallow for components

took your opinions and went for the infinitys

cheers

Sound choice Alex (no pun intended), have fun.

Moz

cheers will do

They will fit with no problems, however I alway's found infinity to sound flat. Rainbow are the only one's for me.

You get what you pay for for. A rule that seem's to be solid with audio.

I rekon you could pick up some mb quarts for the same money as the infinity and be much happier..

I can guarantee that those infinities are anything but flat.

Don't forget that they are cheap, but mainly because they are a few years old now, and probably coming to the end of their run.

As we all know,the installation and setup is as important as the choice of speaker.

Rainbow are Top Class stuff but with price tags to match, MB Quart ive had a couple of dodgy fakes when I bought them cheap. Money does usually deifine quality.
