stereo speakers
 
Can anyone suggest a good middle of the road marine speakers.? Wanting to upgrade my Pioneer speakers to something better. Currently run 4, 8" coaxials and 2, 6 1/2". One 8" Bazooka tube under couch.
Heard there were better speakers than these for not much more money and would sound better. Run 2 amps 500watts each and cross-over. Has anyone heard of DC Gold speakers?
Thanks

DC GOLD speakers are excellent. I'm running 4 7's and 2 6x9's, and I have 2 more 7's that I still have to install. I also run 2 Alpine Marine subs. The cheapest place to buy DC Gold's is through http://www.lafayetteradio.com/

You can't beat the 3 year warranty and they are waterproof.

Thanks, I will check into that. Kind of liked the sizes of them. Wanted to add a couple more but have to keep size down to
6 inches dia. They make some that are 4 inches.
I will check into it.

My boat has Bazooka 6" speakers. Mid level sound quality, and very loud. I was surprised I liked them. I'm going to put some in the car. They are pretty cheap.

That Laffyette Radio has great prices. The Bazookas are a lot cheaper than the DC's, with 1/3 the warranty. They are good enough to satisify me outdoors where sound quality is difficult. I may try the DC's in the car.

My buddy just installed Polk db's in his boat, and they sound great! Pretty inexpensive too. I'm thinking of putting the same in my boat.

I've had good luck with the Polks also. Can usually catch them for sale at Crutchfield.

After looking at the DC golds the sizes of them are not standard. I think I may have problem with replacing the 6 1/2 and 8" presently in boat.
I too have looked at the Bazooka's and have noticed several boats in my area that have them.
Do any of you think they wood sound better than the Pioneer TS-MR163 6 1/2" and TSMR2040 8" I presently have?? These are 200 watt max speakers.
Thanks guys

what is the cutout size of the dc golds? you may just have to enlargen the holes a little bit.

Have Polk as home speakers, polks as boat speakers and Polk in one of the trucks....always a great speaker and their warranty is excellent. Just buy from a reputable source such as Crutchfield
