6.5 Speaker Comp. with depth under 2.5

[llShakenBakell]

So a friend has ID ctx65cs components and i loved the way they sounded. I tried to put those in my accord knowing that it will take some work to make it fit. Tried shaving down the grill on my door panel had a 1 inch spacer and everything to make the speakers fit. End up not fitting, so im looking for something that sounds similar or better with a depth under 2.5 inch. Looking to spend around 150 but no more than 200.

Found someone who got the CDT HD62im for under 200, any thoughts of it? they look solid.

Also interested in any other recommendations.

Thanks

how would you suggest wiring it with alpine f300

That amp wouldn't be ideal for a pair of 2 ohm components. And it is a little weak for the P660C's if you just run 2 of the 4 channels unbridged.

Your amp can only have a 2 ohm speaker on each channel or it can be bridged to 2 channels into 4 ohms.

Yeah I know. Would've jumped on it if it fits into my setup. Any other recommendations? I checked sonic electronics but not sure what's good. Still new to the audio world

2009. Should be any depth under 2.5 would fit. Tried with a 2.75 but it was only a bit too big.

Again looking for something that sounds similar to the ID ctx65cs. Or anything with great SQ

A 3/4" spacer would help on the front side clearance. The JBL speaker suggestions are good. Alpine MRV-F300 is a little low on power compared to many other newer amplifiers, but it will be fine on any speaker sets suggested thus far.

Yeah I know. bought a spacer to try to fit the ID ctx but then realized I needed an extra quarter inch to fit. Made a quarter inch mdf ring to put over the spacers and ended up finding out the door panel wouldnt fit even when I sanded down the door grill. All that work for nothing lol.

I bought that amp to bridge IDs. Anything else that has more power? wanna take the most out of the f300

Thanks for the posts so far guys. Been helpful so far.

JBL MS62C- JBL MS62C * 6-1/2" 320W 2-Way MS Series Car Audio Component Speaker System * at Onlinecarstereo.com

Alpine SPR-60C - Alpine SPR-60C 6.5" Type-R Component Car Speakers

JBL GTO609C (3ohms so im guessing wouldnt work in my setup, right? Looks fantastic, ****) - JBL GTO609C 6.5" GTO Component Car Speakers System

You can bridge your amp, and you may need to set the high pass filter a bit higher to protect the woofers. Here is my suggestion on components: MX-6CV
