100x2: Whats the loudest CHEAP comps or coaxles I can get?

It's obvious the OP hasn't really thought about this issue deeply. If he's like most people, he doesn't really have a good ear for sound quality, nor does he really want to get technical. He wants a loud-*** front stage. If all he wants is loud, he's not going to miss the lack of response between 80 and 150hz, nor will he notice the massive peaks and dips throughout the frequency spectrum. That's seems to be the norm in Florida, and those people love their in-car PA systems //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm so glad I started out in the hobby with a much more grounded head on my shoulders. I was clueless of course, but I actually understood good sound a bit more then other folks. I didn't start out with piercing highs and BOOM BOOM sub setups. My first focus was midrange and natural vocals as well as broad range performance, kind of an odd place for a young kid just starting out in the hobby who really didn't know anything. At least it kept me out of all the stupid stuff and didn't waste my money.

Oh well, to each their own. I can only hope people eventually begin to learn the hobby more in depth and begin to see the err of their ways. Ignorance may be bliss, but there is a LOT of science in this hobby you really shouldn't be ignoring...unless you just don't care about music...which is a bit of an oxymoron being in this hobby.

I'm not discrediting anything you guys are saying, I actually appreciate the help and shared knowledge. If this were a SQ situation then I could better understand where you were coming from, but it is not. I'm putting 6K to my substage, and eventually another 1600 to my mids/highs. Once you get so loud, how "natural" can you actually sound?

Granted I don't want it to sound like a "Florida-East coast ryders" type of system, but I do want decent vocals and midbass as loud as possible on the power that I mentioned. I gave my power requirements in the beginning to give you an idea as to what I had on tap.

I've had PG RSDs, MB Quarts, and ID OEMs, and none of which would keep up with my substage like I wanted. I'm looking for something that will keep up with a single Nightshade 18 on 3K. I have some rear fill, but my front stage is lacking. Should I go multiple sets in the front, or go with one loud *** set of something? Thats all I'm asking.

Thanks for your above posts though, they were enlightening

CHEAP is also a relative term. I'm not saying "cheap" like a set of Sony or Pioneer REVs, but I'm not willing to shell out 5-600 on one set of Focals either.

100w per side, reliable, decent accuracy, and loud for under or around 250 per set is what I'm asking. I could go to Walmart and get 3-4 sets of roadmasters and call it a day, but thats not what I want to do. I want to still be able to LISTEN to what I'm playing, rather than hear it.

............and yeah, I'm MAD SON!!

multiple sets is your best bet to get loud and keep up with 6kw of subs. there is no 1 set of speakers regardless of cost ( not even $4000 worth of kit 6 utopias) that can do that. never gona happen man, you definately need multiple speakers.

I'm not on 6k yet, only 3k, but I get your point. That being said, what would you recommend? I'll double up once the rest of my system comes together when money permits, but what and how many of them would you think would be needed to keep up with my current situation?

how about a set of mids and 2 sets of tweets that would suffice..pm me for prices on what i can do to help you keep up...
