Any thoughts on the speakers above, both have been confirmed to Fit in MY98 with adaptors...From all the place's i have called, have been advised that the Alpine SPR176a, may not fit due to the size of the Magnet...

Boston BOS-FS60 @ £129
Component Kit Consisting Of 2 x 6.5" Midrange Speakers, 2 x Soft Dome Tweeters, 2 x Crossovers, Frequency Response 60-20kHz, Power Handling 15-150 Watts RMS Mounting Depth 66mm, Speaker Hole Cut Out 144mm


The FS60 is a 2-way component set-up that offers a pair of ¾-inch neodymium Kortec™ tweeters (neodymium, an incredibly powerful magnet material, allows Boston to make the tweeters incredibly small, so they are infinitely installable). Dual 6-inch woofers (butyl rubber surrounds and copolymer cones) operate flawlessly, (standing up to extremes in both temperature and humidity) and two system-specific crossovers (the brains of the operation, dividing high frequencies from lows and sending them to the proper driver). It’s a killer system that won’t drain your bank account


Genesis Profile 16 @ £149
Designed to provide the perfect performance match to Genesis Profile Amplifiers, this entry line of speakers provide a warmth and subtlety unusual for speakers in the class.

The silk dome tweeter provides smooth high frequency reproduction with good detail and no hint of harshness making this line extremely easy on the ears. The clever mechanical design provides multiple mounting options for optimum imaging and sound quality.

Bostons are a great speaker.
Smooth sounding.
I have Infinity`s in my Impreza and if I upgrade it will be to bostons.

Both Boston & Genesis are very well respected names in ICE, it's all down to personal choice, try and get a listen to both if possible.

 

So which shall i go for?

 

Boston....
Genesis make amps, not speakers.

Just my 2p`s worth.

Sam, you can't got wrong with either. I personally like both Boston and Genesis speakers. If it was my money, I'd probably lean towards boston, but then given that Genesis is a UK company, I'd probably be tempted by them anyhow.

There's no "wrong" answer

 

Sam,

I'd suggest Boston but I am biased I run a set of Pro 6's so cannot really comment on the models you've listed.............the make nice amps too!

Your welcome to a listen if you're interested.

 

Boston it is...

Anyone seen these anywhere cheeper then £129?


How could these say compare to the Infinity Kappa Components? (cost i think £199)

 

Picked up my Bostons from a shop in Hendon....@ £130

Also some Dynamat Xtreeme for the doors...

 

Check this...

Finally in...well nearly...

i got boston Z6's in mine and they are excellent but they should be at the price, they do need lots of power and an EQ but worth it, genesis have an awesome rep and in my mind would not tarnish that by producing ****e! not heard their speakers though?
