So this go around I think Im going to run raw drivers in a 2 way active set up. currently my doors are sealed and deadened, and looking at going with raw drivers from madisound and/or parts express. I want a high end sound, but on a budget (champagne but on a beer budget!) I was looking at the these drivers the sb acoustic mid with the seas prestige tweeter or the dayton rs mid paired up with the image dynamics mid or some combination of the 4. For this build Im going for a detailed sound. I want to best front soundstage possible within my budget! Im not married to these options, so feel free to give me any input or suggestions.
