Bike audio 6.5"

[Tannerm]

Not happy with my current setup. Stock HU which is fine. Speakers were a slight upgrade from stock (Infinity Kappa 62.11 6.5"). Then I installed a 350w 2 channel amp. Sure, it's louder, but the sound quality is bleh. The kappas are 2ohm due to the HU (without amp) is mandatory. Now that I have an amp, I figured I'd get more body out of a nice 4ohm set of speakers. Thoughts? Not looking to add anymore speakers quite yet.

JL Mx650 series marine speakers, @ $200 a pair. Crisp and clear sound. I've got Rockford Fosgates Audiophile series in my boat I believe and while they sound great, they're not new the clarity of the JL. I'm looking to replace mine with JL this season. I can make you a deal on a pair of Rockfords if you don't want to spend $200.

I believe those JL speakers don't let u take the grill off. I wanna say I've looked at those before. If the grill won't come off, then it won't fit. Which RF's is it that u have?

The classic series will allow you to pull the grill I believe. I'll see if I can get the specific model of my rockfords.

In looking back at the picture of the classic I don't remember if the outer ring is fully removable. A call to crutchfield might answer that question though.


I'm fairly certain my rockfords are the marine audiophile series, but I have to see if they are the 6" or 6.5.

This is the most likely culprit for poor sound quality if you have a decent amp. Shit in, shit out. The amp is just amplifying the poor sound quality from the stock head unit. I'd start there before investing more into your speakers.
