New components

[AcesHigh]

I have an older set of 5 1/4 Boston R series components mounted in pods at the bottom of the doors with the tweeter about 3/4 of the way up the door. I had to put them in pods because where I wanted to mount the mids I had a huge brace where I started to cut the hole in the metal. So the pods are kind of vented into the doors.

I want to replace them with some 6 1/2" components, I don't think the sound is full enough. I don't know if my install has any bearing on the type of components I should get. My vehicle is a 1988 full size Blazer 2door. I'm looking to spend around $200. Less would be better, but I'll spend a little more if it's worth the difference in sound. I listen to mostly metal and classic rock, a little country and rap also.

Looking foward to hearing your responses.

I just installed a set of Crystal SSCS 6's in my car up front, and they sound VERY nice. I'm still not turning them up as loud as I'd like, because I'd like to give them some time to 'break in' before I start really feeding them some volume, but so far, I'm very satisfied.

I'm giving them 200W RMS a side (bridged), and I'd had to turn it down because the midbass woofers were 'popping', but that's just a tuning issue on my part.

I listen to mostly metal, hardcore, and hard rock in general, with a little techno and rap mixed in. I'd definiyely go with these again, but if you're looking for a tweeter that's a little brighter, I'd recommend a lower end Focal component set for a litttle more $$$.

Bump for a great deal! ^^^

For your taste in music, either the Crystals or those Focals will jam like you want them to.

Do you have the grills for those?

How would those sound off of my zx200.2? Big improvment over my Boston RC51x's?
