If I am powering 4 6.5 speakers in an avalanche with the pioneer double din DVDs 1700, am I better off with these or the reference?

Well first of all yes u can power these with an after market head unit or factory head unit, and these speakers sound great trust me I have these, but ur gonna need an amp to run these to get the full potential out of these guys cuz a simple head unit doesn't do these justice but yea bro infinity makes some high end speakers u won't be disappointed with these

There really isn't such a thing as a matching receiver for speakers, other than you must be sure you buy an 8 ohm receiver, since the speakers are 8 ohm.I have a few receivers and a few pure amplifiers running thru preamps.I did find one "receiver" that really drives these speakers well and sounds very good. It is an "Outlaw" receiver. They are sold direct from "Outlaw Audio". Amazon may have it.Every now and then "Outlaw" runs a promo on this receiver. Listen to the various receivers and check the reviews in the A/V mags. The beauty of these Klipsch speakers is they have a high DB rating which makes them easy to drive, even with lower power.

Memphis car audio (Reference Audio), XTC, Targa, and Digital Designs all make themselves look good on paper. The only amp I have seen and heard are the Memphis (Reference) and a Sound Stream blew the Reference away. Your looking at all cheap equipment, sorry to say. The Pioneer may have good price, but as far as performance, the Pioneer will put out. May damage your 5x7 and I know will blow your Lightning Audios. I'm running Pioneer amps, but with Infinity components. On my Pioneer Mono amp, for fun I took a Audiobon sub that said it was 1000watts RMS and blew it up in 3 minuets. Never look at Peak Power of any car audio. You want to look at RMS Power. Rockford has become a crap product in its years. They use to be good back in the 90's. Hate to tell you, but Lightning Audio is worst. Lightning Audio distorts even at mid volume. If your wanting to build a system, save your money and do it right. I'm not trying to sound like an a@@ but your looking for trouble using cheap amps and speakers. As far as comparing Pioneer to the others you asked. If you don't know or under stand Watts Peak and RMS or ohms and amperage I would be talking Chinese to you. All I can say is the amps you are looking at are cheap crap...

I currently use only my Pioneer head unit. They sound ok. Keep in mind, having an amp does provide a cleaner sound and better control over power to your speakers. I will however be replacing these speakers with Kickers that provide better mid bass response. The renegades are ok entry level speakers. Just not enough mid bass for my taste.

I have these speakers connected to the Harmon Kardon AVR 2650. I would say it's a middle of the road receiver, but performs very well. The type of AVR you go with will depend on what speaker setup you plan on (5.1, 7.1, 7.2, etc), so it's more of a personal preference. I also, have a pioneer that I've had since the early 2000s and have nothing but good to say about it even after all these years. I'm sorry if this wasn't too much help, but I don't want to give you a line of B.S. because I can only speak from my experience with my receivers. Good luck, and if you have anything else I can be of assistance with feel free to contact me again.Kind regards,Chris I have these speakers connected to the Harmon Kardon AVR 2650.

Great choice of speakers. I d say as long as the oem speakers are same size. Then yes. Go for it! !I'd pull one out n approximately measure old one. Then go from there. One thing to make job easier I'd spend the extra n buy the aftermarket to Oem speakers adapter harnesses. Not that expensive n will be able to leave existing wires uncut. Which is huge plus for later down the road n ya wanna sell vehicle ya can put the old junkers back in.. With out splicing!!Goodluck. Jam on!!Hope this post helps.

It depends on what car they are going in. I would recommend using Rockford Fosgate prime speakers over the Pioneers they will sound a lot better.

I was wondering the same thing. I did a line by line comparison of the specs from the Pioneer site and noticed very minor differences between the two. It could be that other than for an extra connector or two they are the same under the cover.

I have 4 of these powered by a Pioneer super tuner 3, plenty of power, No Amp needed.Trust me, These are the Best speakers out there! They sound Awesome!

as I understand the higher the ohm the less efficient they are. I would suggest you call a reputable stereo store in your area for best answer. I put mine in a stock system and they work fine.

No problem with that at all -- I have a fairly-customized setup in my Mazda "6" with two dash speakers (Polk 3.5" crossed over @ 800Hz) and the stock speakers in the door. I route everything under 125Hz to the sub, so the door speakers are mid-bass to low-midrange with the midrange and highs in the dash. The rears are full-range. The Alpine drives all six without a problem (the sub is separately powered.) Note that the amp will drive 2 ohms so a purely-capacitive crossover is ok (6db slope) but you don't get an uprating on power doing that as you do with some other amps.

?? Must be an old one.........I do not know what this question is about..?? May have been for the Pioneer... I just bought one yesterday from a local guy who has about 10 of them..and a room full of speakers and receivers... Thanks..

Fellow aftermarket Pioneer stereo user here, they work fine just plugging straight into it. Havent had to bust out a spare amp yet.

The P143 Infinity are decent for surround, but nothing more. I'm not familiar with the Pioneer for comparison. I have the Infinity P153 for my surround, and they are a much better speaker than the P143 (4 inch) for usually just a little more in cost.

They are a good sounding speaker. But I guess you will get out of them what you put into them. Mine are Powered by a Pioneer FH-X70BT which 60 watts per channel drive's them. Also bought a simple under the seat sub woofer for the base punch. All in all sound great ! The 6 x 8 are standard for the F 150 and the Mazda 7, I had put them in. My personal impression is the 6 x 9's sound is much more superior though. All that being said you won't be disappointed with the TSD6802R's. Good Luck.

I have front and rear door speakers, as well as the in dash tweeters in my Subaru Outback, and they are all indeed functioning through the Alpine amplifier. Trouble is, I bought the Alpine from Amazon, but had it installed professionally and I'm not at all sure about the actual wiring setup. You may be better off calling the manufacturer. I can attest to the to the amazing sound, though. It Absolutely Rocks!!!

I have a Denon AVR X3000.These are power hogs, but excellent, all the bass youhave ever wanted. If you are running a lowerpowered amp, best talk with Cerwin Vega, as their documentation is sketchy beyond peak handling of 400 watts.
