6.5 Components for $200~

[REDLINEZ33 10+ year member]

Few years ago I put together a very basic (and mediocre) system in my Nissan 350Z

It consists of

MRV-F450 AMP (50W RMS at 4ohm~)

and

CDT 61A i believe it was

I am looking to upgrade the speakers to possibly get more midbass response, I feel these speakers are lacking there. I already sound deadened the door some, and it helped, but I think its just time for me to get something tad different..

For $200~ or so, would there be any 6.5 component speakers that would be a upgrade to my CDTs? I know the person that is buying the speakers needs to listen to them to decide if they like them, but I am just looking for recommendations so i can see what to shop for and not go look around totally blinded //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for any info

upgrading that amp might help a little bit. if you wanna stick with cdt, the ef-61's are aroung 200 give or take some. i've been told the rainbow slc's have a nice, natural midbass to them. the crystal mobile sscs6 also have the midbass you are looking for, they run about 160 shipped i think?

Not to mention install. Just screwing in new speakers can be a bad thing. I had fine midbass with my EF-61's..IB in the door.

listen to the man! spending 200 bucks on components you better deaden your doors and create a baffle to get the most out of them!

alpine type x components. they have great crossovers and only need 75 wrms per side

i heard cdt's get power hungry, try bridging the amp to see if that helps with the midbass, otherwise try making a wood baffle instead of using the plastic baffle if you havent done so already... if that satisfies you, then you just saved some cash...

were is typically a good place to buy car audio stuff, besides crutchfield and sounddomain.

what exactly are you looking for?

If you are looking for brand new I hear the Elemental Designs eDi 6500S are quite impressive. They retail for $250 but they are offering them for $185 as a part of a special forum deal....see http://www.edesignaudio.com/groupbuy.php

 

If you are looking for something pre-owned I have a nice set of Fosgate Fanatic Q's that I will let go for $175 shipped. See here for all pics, specs and info....http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=169613

 

And I also second the other ideas of more power and a more "custom" installation...auto manufacturer's arent thinkin about SQ when they place and design speaker locations, like a lonely fella on a friday night they are just lookin for cheap and easy!

 

 

Hope this helps!

I've got a used set of DLS MS6's for just a tad less, they're wonderful components, read some reviews and keep asking around before you make a decision though bro.
