best front stage for $150?

[sanguine79]

I have a 98 k1500 ext cab. Gonna get a HDS315 and a 1200 amp from SQ for it. Now I'm looking for good mids and highs. I have a 400 RMS old school Rockford fosgate that I would be using. It's a 2 channel but I would wire it to the mids and highs. My budget is $150. What are my options?

I am a big fan of the polk db6501 set of components.

Low Priced, Soft Tweeters, Decent Midbass and get loud and sound good. I have mine at -3db on the tweets. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bigwave.gif.16324171cad2db62cf4f16568b038478.gif

Check the speaker classifieds. I've seen some cdt comps for sale around 150.00. Or check with @mylows10 ;

How should I run the mids and highs on that amp? Just keep the gain down?

No. The ones I saw were a complete set. 61's. Yeah if that Fosgate is 400 per, just set the gains at roughly 120% of the RMS rating on the comps. Good to have headroom.

Yea I guess that's true. It's old so that way it won't be worked hard

Yes sir....2 way atm. I'm running the pwx 8" at 90-500hz. I have some Kappas 6x8 for the mids and highs. I moved the tweets to the sail panel. Did the door treatment Keep_hope_alive style and I'm really enjoying my front stage now. Got the Vifas that I'm going to match up with some pps4-6's that I have.
