CDT Setup?

[bradl79 10+ year member]

is CDT good enough to go all the way, doing fronts, rears, subs and amps

i currently have CDT CL-62 with WS100i imaging tweets, i was thinking of putting CDT coax or components in the rears and eventually getting a CDT HD-1000CF 10" Sub. Also is the CL-62 a good set to build around?

I'd go with the hd models at least. The cl is ok. But the hd sets sound better. The subs are decent sq sub as well as the amps

I've been running CDT speakers continuously in my car for 2-1/2 years, and I've been doing gradual improvements on sound deadening at the same time. As I keep improving the acoustics of my doors the woofers have proven to be held back by poor enclosures(bare doors with the sound bouncing around inside are a big no-no). Better EQ can do wonders as well, but that can't compensate for an inadequately prepared door, assuming that's where your woofers are mounted.

The CDT QES subs get a lot louder in the same or less air space than the HD CF subs, but the CF subs sound very, very nice. I don't recommend components in the back. CDT has a wide selection of 6.5" coaxials that can be built with your choice of tweeter dome material on the DRT-26 models. They are built on request. DRT-26CXA, for example, uses the DRT-26 aluminum tweeters. The SQA black top amplifiers are rumored to be a Zed design, but regardless they're very nice. The mono amp is Class AB.
