CDT or PG rsd ? for < 200.00

[abqrb2000 10+ year member]

After research I can't decide which 6.5 comp set to get. I like rock and hip hop? Looking to spend less than 200.00 and less than 150.00 would be great. I have 100 rms to put on em'.

Eww Lanzar comps ****, i would suggest the 720PRS or the Cdt EF61FG's with fiberglass mids

720PRS if you can swing $250ish. If not, then RSd.

I am currently running a set of the Rsd's 6's, Tweets are a little harse though. other than that, good comps for the money.

Those are 50w RMS, and he has 100w RMS. That's not really safe, in my opinion, unless you are very experienced with gain setting.

Regardless, I wouldn't even touch the Phoenix Golds. (At least their RSD series.) CDTs are really nice in my opinion, I'd do something like their EF-61FG's (I think they're like, two bills right now) or CL-61A's. Friend of mine actually has the CL-61A's with TW-25 tweeters, they sound really smooth, and I think they're in your budget.

When you hear distortion it's too loud. You dont have to be very experienced. They can take more than 50w.

And your reasoning would be?

I have installed a few PG sets for my friends, and I wasn't really impressed with them at all. They were... mediocre, at best. Nothing amazing, in my opinion.

Which PG sets, specifically and how where they installed and configured (deadening, kind of power, etc)?

Ok, I'll spend around 200.00 and I think I am sold on the Pioneer 720prs..

That must be install dependant. Me and my buddy installed a set in his car and although the tweet was medicore in my opinion the midbass/mid range was nothing short of spectacular. Beats the mid bass in any out of the box set I've ever heard including the SSCS6, Boston Z6, most of the mid-lowe line CDT lines, etc.
