I have a 2002 protege with a kendwood kdc-mp5032 head unit and am looking for good speakers to go with it. Currently im not looking for an amp or for subs so i would like some speakers that give me a good range of sound but are also reasonably priced, around $300-$400 total. Ive been looking at the alpine type-r speakers and would like some feedback on weather or not they are good and what other options do i have.

with 300-400 $, you can buy an amp+speakers.. no problem.. and they can be real good quality,also no problem.. i suppose you're not looking for some entry to a real high-end level, therefor you'd need so much more money anyway...
look at my sig...
i got a used soundstream picasso amp for like 80 euros (~100$) and aiv/rainbow speakers for 88 euros [~110$] and this a really pleasant combination to listen to... some nice wiring for 50$ and you're good to go..Last edited by TStarGermany; 07-30-2006, 07:12 AM.

I purchased my Polk Component set for $130 on Ebay brand new and I have an amp, but haven't hooked it up yet, but I bought it new also for $60. If you're looking for front and rear speakers and don't want to do components, Polks' db650's, that's what I have in the rear and they sound great and run really well off the headunit only and can be purchased on Ebay brand new for around $55 a pair, which is half price.
Everything I've read though shows the Polk's to have the widest range for the money, the components I have are a great example with a range like that of $600 components sets and cost less than $200, the same can be said for the 2-ways.
Check Crutchfield.com for reviews and specs, then buy on Ebay from outstanding sellers, all of my car audio with the exception of the Sub and Amp were purchased on Ebay for this car and my last and I have never had an issue.
Good Luck.

Good luck.

dont spend your money on a small amp you dont even need. you dont need an amp just to run your hi's, you have a pretty good head unit and it will have enough amps push em. all you need is a 2 channel amp. subs, and a bass control switch so you dont blow your 6x9's when you turn the bass up on the head unit. they bass control will let you control your subs seperate from all of you other speakers and its well worth it, and easy to install.

Would anything bad happen to my speakers because of the extra power going to it or can the speakers safely handle it?**SOLD** 93 EGT with more suspension mods then your average riced out civic's # of decals + useless "bling/style/culture" mods! **SOLD**

so far, running on my stock radio still, i like the kenwood 1660s speakers in the front, from crutchfield they were very easy to install except that i had to screw the mounting bracket to the car first, then the speaker to the bracket. i'll post more once i get a new headunit, but overall i like them. not a huge amount of bass but like i said stock headunit probably makes a difference there.
crutchfield said these were the only ones that fit the front speaker spots, are they right? not to second guess myself i just wondered for other people's sake1990 Mazda Protege SE
