4 Inch Component Speakers : Lots of Choices

[liliceman13300]

I am putting 4" components in a BMW E90 and trying to pick what to go with. My budget is $200 for a set.

These are what I have picked out so far:

Rainbow SLX 210 Deluxe

MMats Pro 4.0

CDT Audio CL-41/22

I would really like to go with the CDTs if the improvement to the Rainbows or MMats is not dramatic. Does anyone have any opinions on any of these speakers?

edit:

I just found these:

MTX TX4001

For $91, how would they compare to the list above?

Also if anyone has any other recommendations I would really appreciate them.

mtx is a no go...i have heard great things about the cdts and the rainbows but have never actually heard them for myself. i would choose one of those two over the mmats if it was me buying them

I just found these too, so it is down to the CDTs or these DLS Reference PS4s:

DLS Reference PS4 - PS4A 2-way system 4"

You can never go wrong with anything MMats makes. But I'm a little bit of a nut-hugger //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I've run Rainbow and DLS....in general, the rainbows are a little brighter than the dls. But I'd highly recommend listening to the different sets (if possible) to see what kind of sound you like best. I once bought speakers based on reviews and recommendations without actually hearing them, and when I finally bought and installed them I HATED the sound. I kept improving the install (more deadening, etc.) and tried running active with eq-ing and t/a, but could never get them to sound good to my ears.

 

[liliceman13300]

I ended up ordering the DLS set and hope that they sound good to my ears as well as my girlfriend whom I bought them for. My friend ordered Polk Tweeters for a car he is doing which happens to be almost the exact same as the car I am installing the DLS's in. He keeps telling me I wasted my money and the Polks are going to sound "so much better". Does anyone think his claims could be some what right? I feel that the setup I'm doing SHOULD sound better overall.

Hope you didn't order from Dealercostcaraudio.Alert: Dealercostcaraudio.com - CarAudioForum.com

DO NOT ORDER FROM DEALER COST CAR AUDIO it is a scam.

 

[liliceman13300]

Don't worry guys I did my research. A quick Google search and its pretty obvious not to go through them. I used Sonic Electronix and actually had a huge issue with back orders but after 2 phone calls they fixed everything. But could you give your opinion on my question from before about my friends Polk setup?

 

[pyfocal 10+ year member]

The DLS's are nice.The Polk coax are no big deal but I think the Polk DB100 tweeter is as good as the DLS tweeter.But they should be for what they retail at.I put a set of Polk componenets in my daughters car with that tweeter and I was impressed with it-the woofers were nothing to write home about though.What do you have for midbass after the 4 inchers.
