Since I'm waiting to install parts in my Pontiac, I took my old Pioneer Head Unit (DEH-2900 I think) from the car I just sold and went to put it in my 1987 Bronco (my wood hauling truck). After it was installed, I noticed that there was was no stereo and that the balance and fade was not working properly. To make a long story short, I took the vehicle to Best Buy to see what their installation guys thought of the problem. It ends up that the wiring was screwed up....and since they were looking at it, I asked them to put a set of the infinity's in since the existing speakers were 22 years old and sounded terrible. Two car stereo upgrades at once LOL....
So I've heard the Infinity's and they're OK. Detail is actually quite good as is the midrange. I would agree that as installed they are a little bright. I am also hearing a little sibilance on certain tracks that I haven't heard in years (since I've upgraded my headphone rig). Regardless, I Eq'ed it a bit and there's no question that it sounds better than it did.
One of the guy's I was working with seemed to know his stuff and commented that I really should get an amp for my new car's rig. He recommended this one:
Alpine MRP-F300 V-Power Series 4-channel car amplifier 50 watts RMS x 4 at Crutchfield.com
It's obviously a lower end amp, but he say it will put the icing on the cake to my upgrade. The headphone enthusiast in me can appreciate good amping.
For starters, it might be diminishing returns due to all of the other car noises. Also, I don't know where the heck it would go as there is not enough room under the seat.
