Where can I find good cheap speakers for my van?

Didn’t get what I wanted during the sales, so I’m still looking. Facebook Marketplace felt a bit sketchy. Should I try pawn shops, Best Buy outlet, or local audio shops? Will there be open box deals after Christmas?

I’m just trying to upgrade the factory 6.5” speakers and tweeters in my van. Thanks in advance!

What’s your budget for cheap?

I’m looking for something discounted. I almost bought the JBL Club 64csq for $130, but now they’re $202 on Amazon. I could spend more if it’s worth it, but since I’m keeping the stock head unit, maybe it doesn’t matter much.

Amazon and Best Buy had solid sales. I grabbed the JBL Club C for $109 on Amazon. If you’re keeping the stock head unit, look for something with low RMS and high sensitivity. The Kicker DSC or CS lines are good options and don’t need discounts to be affordable. Hopefully, you’ll see some Christmas sales pop up.

Amazon is always worth checking out.

I got some open-box Pyle Blue Label 6x9s for my daughter’s old Camry for $25. They sound surprisingly good for the price!

I might get flak for this, but I bought MB Quart FKB126 6.5-inch speakers on Amazon for my daughter’s car. Two pairs were only $63, and they sound decent. I know MB Quart isn’t what it used to be, but for the price, I’m happy with them. :man_shrugging:

I’ve had good experiences with Sonicelectronix.com. Dayton Audio from Parts Express is also a great option if you’re looking for quality without breaking the bank.

Check out Down4Sound. They have their own brand of speakers, and some models are surprisingly cheap. They get good reviews too, so it’s worth a look.

You can find 6.5 coaxial speakers that sound better than factory ones without spending over $100. Amazon, Crutchfield, Best Buy, or even Walmart are good places to start.

Brands like Sony, Pioneer, JVC, or JBL make affordable coaxial speakers. Compared to the paper-cone factory speakers most cars come with, even budget options will sound better.

JL Audio C1-650 6.5-inch speakers are $119 right now. Solid deal!
