Speakers that are RAP music proof


Hi there I and most of my friends listen to rap and hip hop. I am always afraid of it on my system as its almost always equalized for Car Audio.

In a car you typically crossover your highs around 160HZ give or take. Based on this I am looking for an older pair of speakers in the 400-800 range that are a good solid go to with a 200+ WPC SS Amp.

Legacy Focus's are Ideal minus the price tag as they have a 12" Mid woofer for 80-300 HZ easing the work from the 6.5" Mids. I am looking for something like this that looks decent and sounds great that I can install for friends with a couple hundred watts and will rock with subwoofers

Infinity, JBL, VMPS?

Thanks

I'm not sure where you are, but there is a set of Klipsch Epic CF-4s for sale in Lombard, IL. I sold them to a guy about 3 years ago and he has them for sale once again. Dual 12" woofers in MTM. 104 db @ 1w/1m, and they play in to the mid 30hz arena with some authority. I really cannot think of a better suited speaker. I believe he is asking $1,000 for the pair. They were absolutely mint when I sold them to him, and since he is a huge Klipsch collector, I imagine they still are. He also has a pair of KLF-20s for sale, but my money would be on the CF-4s.
Johnk, not true. Audiofiels also listens to the old LPs of Haunted House, etc. recordings that are used to scare the little trick-or-treat'rs:)
If you truly want Audiophile quality and I assume put some big power on your speakers, this is a tough question... I suppose Klipsh or maybe some old Altec's would typically handle it. Basically, look for the largest voice coils and highest crossover frequencies and you have a shot for them to live. If you want it to sound good, but not hard core audiophile, I would recommend BagEnd. Yes, Legacy Focus would be great.
