6.5" Coaxial Suggestions

[undeadxsunshine 10+ year member]

So up to now I've been pretty set on getting 2 pairs of alpine type r coaxials, but because of some things that changed with people getting them for me (was supposed to be a gift from a relative), I thought it would be a good idea to look at some other options. I want coaxials just for ease of installation. I want RMS handling to be at least 100w (going to be powered with arc ks300.4). I also don't want to spend much more than $120 per pair. So any suggestions of speakers better than the alpines?

I dont care for Coaxials, but I used some Infinitys a while back that were very nice.

i'd say the ID CTX65 or CTX6's but they are a bit over 120 but well worth it.

Look at ARCs Coaxials. Very affordable, and they can take that power too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. They sound great.

I have some Critical Mass RS coaxials...they are some of the best I have ever more...can be compared to if not better than any high end componets.......but a little more than the OP's budget....

120$ per pairs? Please do yourselft a favor and buy one of the set suggested here. When I got those type r coaxial , I tough they sounded good. Few sets latter they simply sound like shit. Midrange is disguisting and the high aren't just there.

Or buy some cdt's entry set from woofersect... at this price

I like the Polk dB coax's a lot. Decent midbass out of them and loud/clear highs...

what he say. They are efficient too and can take around 100 watt rms of power

Well I'm willing to spend a little more and get a better pair for the front and then get a slightly less expensive pair for the rear. Thoughts on these speakers?

CDT EF-61NEOX

ARC FD6025

ID CTX65

I'm a little bit concerned about the mounting depth of those, they seem pretty big.

How about the CDT or ARC, how good are they?
