Component Advice

[wvufootball 10+ year member]

Hey, I'm new to this board but not to car audio. Right now i drive an 02 ford zx2. I am looking to replace my comps with my buget of ~$400. My amp is 4 channel and it does:

75 x 4 @4ohm

~100x4 @ 3ohm

125x4@ 2 ohm

Right now my comps are entry level bostons. They are the sl-60. The only problem is im in a smaller town and the only audio store only has boston acoustics pro series when it comes to higher end comps. SO the pros are the only set i can demo. Here is what i really would like to have in my set.

1. Solid midbass - (yes, i know this depends on install, and yes my doors are deadened)

2. Laid back tweet (silk)

3. I would love for it to be 2 ohm so i can squeeze out 125 x 4

Thanks for any help guys!

Infinity kappas should work their 2 ohm and can handle 100 rms 300 max or something like that.

OR

Infinity Perfect 6.1 a little more but they sound amazing. They are 4 ohm though.

If you're not going active, bridge the amp to 2channels for extra power. My vote goes for Rainbow Germaniums - 450$ if you can swing it. Solid is definetely one of the words for the midbass from these suckers. The tweet is nice and smooth while retaining excellent detail.

i would go with the cdt auido comps, silk tweeters will give you that smoooth sound and the over all quality is breath taking. do some research on them

The Boston Pro's aren't bad.

But also look into DLS, Rainbow, Memphis and Seas.
