Budget 3 way active fronts

[mr_naler]

I am starting over from scratch. I have decided to not exceed the limitations of my stock alternator. As such, I will be doing a more SQ oriented install. The first thing I want to do is get a Clarion CZ702 and a pieced together 3 way front soundstage. I plan on using Dayton Audio tweeters (ND25FA-4) and midranges (RS75-4). As for the Midbass-Woofer I am still undecided. The Silver Flute 6.5 is quite appealing. I will be powering the tweeters and midrange off te stock head unit and the woofer/mid bass off of an older RF punch 125.2.

Eventually I want to add a subwoofer, but for now I don't want to have to address the issues that would entail. Something in the range of 500 watts in an 8" driver.

Anyhow, any advice on a woofer/midbass driver? My budget is quite low. I only have $10 invested so far, and that is in the RF amp. I want to keep it minimal, but still end up with an end product that is greater than the sum of it's parts. Also, will I need anything else in order to run a true active 3 way soundstage?

If you have the mounting depth exodus anarchy maybe a good choice budget allowing. Have you thought any of a subsonic filter or high pass filter for you woofer/mid bass. Probably around 50hz.

With my budget, I'm looking to not spend more than $30-$40 on each speaker. How much are those?

I would be willing to possibly scoot that up. I'm looking at the Dayton Designer Series 6.5" at $30 each.

They will fit. Just looked them up. Vehicle is a 2002 Ford Ranger EXT 4x4.

Are they worth it to go with those over the Daytons? If they are I feel like I should try to go with a better tweeter as well?
