i'll be giving 100 to mine when they show up... I'll tell you all what i think. I'm so excited to get those Kicks...

Give the Kicks right around 100w rms and you will be good. Anymore is not really needed as they are a pretty efficient speaker.

Tiny mags...My cdt 61a's dwarf those things. Of course it's not like you can tell much from magnet size. All i know is I bought a set of Boston SL60's a while back thinking they would be as good, or slightly better than my CDT's, and those things sucked. Magnet looked almost just like that. Set them at anything below 100hz, with 110w of power and they would sound like popcorn popping. Ended up keeping my CDT's up front, and using the Boston's for rear fill.

Thats a very ignorant statement...ur basing how a driver sounds based on the magent?

As i stated, you cant tell much from magnet size. Read the whole post next time.

So am I to assume that the Crystals will be a step up from my CDT-61a's?

The biggest mistake you'll mkae is buying a set because its recommended on the forum. What sounds good to me or you may sound like complete crap to someone else. Go around to a few shops and listen to different sets and get a taste of what you like/dislike. The Crystals and the Rainbows both sound good to me but that doesn;t mean they'll sound good to you. Also, you can have a 10k component set but without taking the time to get the installation right, they'll sound like $100.00 set. Installation is just as important if not more so than the drivers themselves.

Yeah, that sounds like wonderful advice. If you could compare one set of components properly installed in a car to another properly installed set. Not really practical.

well for me the Rainbows were my first choice and ive had them installed since summer. Right now my right side is gone and my left side is going too .. and i dont know why they are going/high pitched static sound. Maybe they are blown? maybe the crossover got wet and short circuited .. i have no clue but it makes me sad to spend 250$ or so and have them only for 8months or so ... and i had them installed by a shop.

Are your crossovers mounted in the doors? If so, it probably would have been better to mount them inside your ride somewhere; like under the seats, on an amp rack, or back in the trunk..
