Whatever you feel sounds good...CDT's tend to sound good where ever you stick them without much work, but may not be the most sonically accurate. I was reading something and they feel significantly around 16khz, which for most people would not be the end of the world. That is a good deal on the ef cfs, but those need power, and lots of it, so i'd hope you have a powerful amp to drive them.

You may want to try and find a dealers for just about anything postedin this thread and go listen to the speakers yourself and see which you prefer.

i love my ef's with 180w to each side they are really alive. but like he just said they sounded like crap with my previous amp that was 75w x 2.

how about the kicker kx650 4 channel would that sound good

 

[Srt2fast4u 10+ year member]

would an alpine type x be better

I didn't check the specs on that kicker, but I'd assume it has plenty of power.

The Type-x's are nice speakers but they have a few flaws. First their midrange is enourmous, if this is going in a door you are going to have a hell of a time getting it in there. I also did not care too much for the tweeter. The CDT's would probably be great for you as long as you give them t he power.

Don't need one, hence spend nothing on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
