The perfect 8" speakers for the doors!!, Memphis marine speakers( yes they are for a boat)!!! Options

[ChfNix]

So first of all I just want to let you all know that I have been competing at car audio events for over 10 years and have very good knowledge of anything that has to do with car audio. That being said, when the owner of the local car audio shop that I have been going to since before I could drive recommended marine speakers I thought he was crazy!! It just so happens that he has 2 pairs of them installed in his own car and being that he has the "pick of the litter" I decided to give them a listen. I couldn't believe what I was hearing!! Since they are 8" speakers they have a lot of bass, and they fit in my doors with no modification whatsoever! Plus they are white and you can just barely see them from behind the factory speaker grilles so they look good. They are expensive (they retail for $300 but I got mine for $150), and I would recommend hooking them to an amp, but they sound amazing! I have spent as much as $800 for a pair of MB Quart components and I think these sound better!

they look reaaly nice ive been looking to buy some 8" spekears for my celi but i cant raise up the dought but for 150 dollars i would probably get the money thats a steal from what ive seen in the market for 8". i might buy a pair of these can you use the stock amp and will it sound fine with?

These are the marine version of Memphis' MSYNC-8 woofers, which are fairly well regarded. Another option, which I'm using in the doors of my fifth-gen, are Focal 210 CA1. Which is to say, Focal brand, 210 mm/8", co-axial, from the Access1 (entry) line. Great speakers, very high build quality, and designed to handle a less than ideal speaker environment such as you'd find in a door.

I purchased my set for C$199, but with the exchange and the higher prices for electronics in Canada you could probably find them for much less.

Can you tell me where I can buy these from? They dont sell these in the UK.

[trdproven]

they are not necessarily for boats, they are also for convertible cars or vehicles with exposed to the elements. basically rugged vehicles like jeep wranglers.

Thats a great post. I am looking to upgrade my stereo since the right front door speaker is dead!

Thanks

[yellowchinaman]

Sooo where can I buy these from? Any links people?

[ChfNix]

These are the only ones I found that are the new model, you can find the old model for cheaper, just search...

The stock amp would sound ok, but an aftermarket amp and head unit would make them sound much better!

so with these do you still have cross overs for the tweeters or did you take those out?

If you mean the factory tweets my car didn't come with them, as for the crossovers on the Memphis 8's I just put them in the bottom of my door.

[yellowchinaman]

Thanks ChfNix. If I cant find it cheaper anywhere else I'll buy a set of these too.
With your current setup, how would you say they perform and sound?

[chacha]

for front use your od tweet and for back get 3 way or drill a hole and use the tweet.

Forgot to mention you need to cut out the old speaker and use the frame as a mod. The how to is somewhere around here.

First of all, this thread is titled the perfect 8" speakers which means no modification!!
Second, ebay = not an authorized dealer = no warranty!!
Third, you get what you pay for!! $31= junk!!!
Fourth, don't you know that Pyle sucks!!

I guess Pyle could be perfect if you have tweets already in your doors. I didn't want to loose the stock tweets.
But they sound good in my car. Yours are a cool choice also.

Well these will definitely add some bass for you, especially if you add an amp
