What components?
 

Hey guys, complete audio noob here with a $150 gift card from BestBuy :icon17: I'm looking for a set of components. I don't have an amp nor sub YET so I'll be running them from my HU (xnv-770bt) for now. I am not after a perfect sound or super loud setup. I pretty much wanna keep it simple and affordable, just looking to upgrade from factory setup. I was looking at these, let me know what you think:

Kenwood - Kenwood 6-1/2" Component Car Speakers with Polypropylene Cones (Pair) - KFC-P709PS - Best Buy

Clarion - Q Series 6-1/2" 2-Way Component Speaker System (Pair) - SRQ1621S - Best Buy

Alpine - 6-1/2" 2-Way Component Car Speakers with Poly-Mica Cones (Pair) - SPS-610C - Best Buy

Any of those worth it or should I be looking at something else? Thanks!

Image dynamics! Best speakers i ever bought

polk dB's... if bestbuy sells them.

if thats all they have, take a listen to each and hear which you like the best.

These ones?
Polk Audio - 6-1/2" Component Loudspeakers with Poly-Mica Composite Cones (Pair) - DXi6500

What are you going to be running them off of?

If you are running it off the head unit than the polk db's would be your best bet. Or the alpines.

For amped power look at the alpine type r's if you can only buy from best buy.

They will work but would recommend running them off an amp.

No amp for now. I do plan on getting one soon, and a sub too

ron- humm... i was thinking the DB6501...

Amazon.com: Polk Audio DB6501 6.5-Inch 2-Way Component System (Pair, Silver): Electronics

If you plan on building on the system and later adding an amp and sub then don't cheap out on the components now. Personally I went with Alpine Type R's I haven't installed them yet. I had the Type S awhile back in my old car and I like them.

Than I would get the alpine type r or the higher end polks.

Can I run the Polk DBs with an amp? That way I can just buy the Polk's somewhere else and get an amp from Best Buy for pretty much the same I would spend if I go with the $200 Polks. Remember I am not after perfection, just something that sounds decent, not gonna crank them up all the way or anything.

you can run the DB's on an amp but not necessary. it's not a super powerful component so it will work fine with most HU speaker output including the stock base HU.

Ok so if I wanted too add a sub I can get a small amp for it and run the components off of the HU. Right? I hate not knowing stuff haha

yah, you can add the sub later no issue. you can get separate sub+speaker cabinet or a combo like the basslink.
