Best components $500-$600 range

I know this threads been done before but I didn't see any recent ones and I know some new speakers have hit the market. I know everyone has their preferences. I have been looking at Hertz and Focal speakers but am open to other suggestions. Budget is 500-600 but if I can get something a little cheaper that would be nice.

I just bought the fosgate t3s for the front of my car, and for $350 on ebay, they sound amazing, and get extremely loud. they have great power handling at 125rms. if you looking for a sq speaker that can get loud this is it.

i have no buyers remorse.

great power handling at 125?? is that for the whole set? if so.. no thanks.. My Id xs mids take 500.. Each.. just saying..

Well not one person has asked the right question so I will.. What are your goals? 500-600 trying to get loud as fuck while still sounding good? loud not a huge deal just want to sound amazing? how much power do you have?

Op for that pricing I would do Id xs and then with the left over money get the id full body horns and you will be set for a nice sounding and get pretty freaking loud system..

I run 500 to my mids for the horns ask around you will not need more the 100 to each if I had to guess but never run them myself but have heard nothing but amazing things

I found the Hertz Hsk 165 XL for $449. Do you think I should pull the trigger or wait and get something else?

I don't have a whole lot of power to play with. I have an Arc audio FD 2200 amp. It's only rated at 100x2 at 4ohms. I want a crystal clear midrange and I want the midbass to have authority. I have no preference between soft dome silk tweeter or metal ones. I'll be listening at moderate volume levels. Eventually I will be adding a FD 600.1 and a couple 10" subs. Source unit is a Pioneer Premier, i'm not sure about the model but it's a couple years old.

Hybrid Audio Technologies no contest, for SQ they are the best for your money.

125rms per comp.......... i assumed that he wasn't running a huge, speaker amp, because most people don't.

Is there a dealer on caraudio.com?

Not that I know of, but you can contact Scott Buwalda himself on Diyma. He is the owner.

You really need to go demo them.. All comp sets have a different sound

I know exactly what you mean, if you ever need a set though, they are the company to look into though, even the imagines are amazing! They got me first place in IASCA Rookie SQ.
