Coaxials that can be ran active?

[rc10mike 10+ year member]

Im looking to run active 6.5 up front but lack a decent location for a tweeter, to keep it simple I would rather have coaxials.

My old Infinity Kappas were coaxial, but had external crossovers. Anyone know of any more like that? I dont want to rip apart my Revs....

Why not make kicks? Tweets won't work in A-pillar?

No, the stock door location is good enough for me, plus my car is still too new for me to start tearing apart!

The PCE 216's look nice. What would a good price for them? A lot of places say they're not in stock, woofersetc has them for 199.99. Is that a decent price for these?

you can find em on ebay for ~150 sometimes.

but 199 is a good deal. i paid 310 for mine.

ID CX comps or XS comps can have the tweet mounted coaxial style.

They're talking about the ones with a mid and a tweeter, but the tweeter is mounted on axis. Most of the time they're hooked up like normal coax's, with a passive crossover built onto the basket.

If I judged a book by its cover, I would say that the ID CX's look pretty cheezy with that cardboard outer surround like speakers from about 15 years ago. Im sure it has some special purpose.. but I see they're pretty expensive. Are they actually that good? Im not trying to bash your reccomendations, Im just curious.

Nothing wrong with a cardboard outer ring...function is much more important than form.
