6.5" separates with most BASS?

[E368 10+ year member]

The title might be a bit misleading, but...

I am in the market for a pair of high-quality 6.5" separates for the front of my small car.

My goal is to have good SQ with lots of punch and good/low bass since I won't be able to use a sub in this car - 4 front speakers only! I like to listen to it loud with the windows down on deserted back roads...if you get the picture //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Price isn't a major factor but I would like to stay under $1000 for the speaker set.

In a pinch I could probably build custom mounts to fit 7" drivers in the doors but I don't think 8" drivers will fit.

So...can you guys please offer up some qualified suggestions?

Thanks //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Going Active? With a $1000 price limit just on speakers your going to have a sick set of mids. I use Image Dynamics X69s and they absolutely get down without any deadening. I have no issues shaking my rear view mirror with them crossed at 80hz/18dB.

Please tell me you will be powering these speakers with an external amp, right?

Yes! I should have mentioned that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif I will use a high quality amp, likely in the 75W x 2 range.

The HD-62AS set is $350 and I don't know how much it would cost to upgrade the woofers, but I can find out if you'd like.

go with the x69's 727kid recommended over the cdt's.

They sound quite a bit better that cdt's IMO.
