Coax fronts?
Alright guys,
I have a buddy that wants to add rear speaker lids. Hes got a 16 SGS. And listens to mostly rock like Metallica, vol beat, FFDP and things like that. We generally ride above 65.
I keep telling him his fronts are distorting like crazy at speed, we have the same bike. He doesnt believe me though and just wants rears and doesn't want 8s or anything like that. Also no lowers
What u need help with is a cheap setup for the front I can talk him into. I was thinking for a budget setup:
Rockford Tms69bl14 for rears
Nvx vadm4
Amp wiring kit
Bt355
Should I just try to set him up with kappas?
Thanks for the help.

I honestly think that is a very valid point, but he does not believe the fronts are ****. I can hear the poor sound when its parked and turned up myself, but just trying to get him something that will sound better while riding while budget friendly. Maybe I should just turn off my lowers and let him ride my bike for a bit and let him hear the difference.

I honestly believe that not everyone can hear the craptastic sound they have going on.
Of course not everyone can walk out his door and shoot his guns whenever he wants to like I can either, so I guess there are pros and cons to every situation.

It would be nice to hear other speakers to know if I made good choices or not, but not everyone has that option.

I have not heard even remotely as many as alot of you guys have. That's why I was asking for a couple recommendation. I dont feel it makes sense to open up the rears and run the rockford kit off of the head units weak watts. That will just make him pissed he paid for it. The NVX amp should have enough to push the rears and will blow the fronts if it's more than just cracked open anyways. So I was hoping to find a cheap decent drop in. Maybe he really cant hear the sound with the road noise, but just trying to help a brother out. I mean.. over half that setups $$ is just the kit
