Component suggestions

[rich017 10+ year member]

Well, it's time to change up my system again. I have an Eclipse DD, Cadence amp running a 12" MTX TR-75 in a ported box and a Kenwood Excellon KAC-X4r running 1 set of older Diamond Audio, M3 components. Before these Diamonds I had 2 sets of 6.5" Alpine Type X's and LOVED them until the tweets took a crap.

Now, these Diamonds are an older line and they only handle 60rms. I am looking for something new in a 6.5" and plenty of power since I will only be running a set of front components. I have heard a lot about Image Dynamics, Eclipse, Etc... I would like to spend around $130-$200 online for a set. SO any suggestions?

I have no clue how to use this Kenwood so I will be paying a shop for a tune. Thanks!

Here is a pic of my 1st system. I am on my 3rd now

lol, aren't those like $5K? Looking for something that's $200 max online. A reliable online store too.

I am running a set of image dynamics ctx65cs. For the money they are a great deal. Going off the fact that you had type x's i am assuming you are aiming for sq. The ctx's have great sound quality. The mid bass is strong, and the tweeters are very detailed and never too harsh.

you should run the ype X's with different tweeters?
