Speakers For Better Sound Quality
So when ever I drive my FR-S, I get reminded on how poor the sound quality is from the factory system. I replaced all the speakers and HU in my daily driver (Yaris), so I know it's not a fair comparison...but with that said, I want to get better sound quality in the FR-S without replacing the HU or adding any amps. I'm thinking of starting with the dash speakers. So my question is, which of these two speakers would be a better choice for me? My music sources are mainly radio and USB with the occasional BT. I have a simple 8" Bazooka tube in the trunk to fill in some of the bass as well.
https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108R40...fx.html?tp=105 or https://www.crutchfield.com/p_108PER...0m.html?tp=105 From what I've read in this sub-section, the mounting depth should not exceed 2", which neither of these do. But I will have to cut off two of the mounting tabs on them. I also see that people have used both sizes as well. |
I went with the below and IMO my system sounds great. I used the subaruaudio.net speaker adapters to mount these in the dash and doors. I would look into using an amplifier, I have a Soundstream RUB4.500 powering these, 4 x 75w @ 4 ohm:
Dayton Reference Series RS180 7" in doors Dayton Reference Series RS75 3" in dash |
Well, if I'm not mistaken the frs doesn't have tweeters right?
So I'll go with ones with the tweeters. Also those Dayton woofers are great bang for the buck. I don't have them on my BRZ but I have them on my old MR2 and a pair for my garage. |

Not sure if the FRS has both, or lacks the 1" tweeter. I don't know some where I got missed informed. |

These are a direct fit in the factory 3.5 bracket, with Minor trimming to remove the factory speaker, as it's glued in. They are very good, but don't have the best off axis response, so there might be better. That said, this is what I have in my car now.

Are you running them off just the HU? |

I've treated this car a little like a toy, and replaced every speaker.. multiple times, and traded with friends, and gave things away, or sold them. Built up as money became available. I learned a lot along the way and blew a lot of money on incremental improvements, and playing around. Right atm I have alpine SPR-60c woofers and tweeters, and the Dayton audio 4" ref running on CDT audio EX-30 passive crossovers. however, I just bought a set of JL C5 653 off another forum member, and am excited to give them a try. I have the JL audio stealthbox with the 10TW3 in it, and its pretty awesome. |
