Im not real sure what to look for with a front stage. I'm looking for 2 tweets and 2 6.5s for <$150.
I have 120wrms x 4 @4 ohms to work with and it needs to keep up with a 3krms substage.
Opinions on these here?

Crescendo makes nice mids and tweets on the budget friendly side
You running active? If not, you will want a component set.
Just curious, what's your highs amp going to be?Quote:

yep. that is a fine pairing. how good it sounds depends on what you do to your doors. i recommend fiberglass batt insulation in thin PVC bags (for water proofing) inside the door - as much as you can fit.
Hmm. I was planning on deadener and closed cell foam. Im not sure what that is Rich, any links?
What would be a good way to keep the insulation out of the way of the window?Quote:

the fiberglass batt alternatives are also fine. either need to be protected from water. i secure the bags with aluminum foil tape to the outer skin to keep them clear of the window. aluminum foil tape sticks very well to vehicle metal. my build log has details.
seriously, it's probably the best addition to any sound system with door speakers. night and day improvement regardless of speaker quality.
Gotta find some of that insulation..

I have used these before as well in the past,seemed to have worked fine
I had also thought of something like this. I could make something that would work. Advantages/Disadvantages to either way.?Quote:
