Should i match these two speaker component sets?

November 24th, 2009 | by admin |

I am thinking of buying two different speaker component sets. Both are Pioneer TS series component speakers. The first is the Pioneer TS-C720PRS, which I have read very good reviews of the item, the other speaker set are the Pioneer TS-D1720C. I am matching the two and not getting both of one, due to both money issues and also the fact that the TS-D1720C handles more RMS and seems to handle bass well; whereas the TS-C720PRS seems to handle midrange and higher pitched noises very well – i’m sure it handles bass well too. Now if i do get the two, which of the two should i place in the doors or back? By the way i am putting them in a 98 Nissan maxima Gold..i have a 8 inch nos bazooka tube, and i might put another in there beside it. I need a new amplifer though since the one i bought two years won’t handle powering everything. I will listen to mostly hiphop with this system, but also have a collection of jazz, alternative, and heavy metal. Below are the specs of both speakers. Please help..THANK YOU!

you don’t need 2 component sets. component speakers mean that the woofer, and tweeter are seperated. it would be difficult to find mounting places for tweeters in the rear of your car, and it would mess with the sound stage of the car. you would want your music to sound like it is coming from in front of you, and having tweeters behind you will mess that up.

i would suggest a component set in the front, and a coaxial set for the rear.

and I would go with the first component set you chose because it can handle a little bit more power. other than that, they are very similar.
