[QUOTE="tobz, post: 393267, member: 550322"] Here is my two cents. I purchased the pair of CDT CL-61's from thezeb.com $149 Then I purchased a Profile CA400M amp off of eBay for under $100 shipped. So for $250 or so, I have a great sounding system. I have the 6.5"s in my doors, and the tweeters custom mounted (with double face tape, no less) in the corners of the windshield. It sounds great, and I couldn't be happier. Here is why I went with what I did: Price and good SQ was a factor. I love listening to any kind of music, so harsher titanium tweeters were out. These come with 1" silk tweeters. When I'm listening to opeth and the high hats hit, I don't cringe, it just sounds really crisp and doesn't hurt my ears. The comps are rated at 80wRMS @ 4 ohms. The amp is 100Wx2 RMS @ 4 ohms. It's a great match. They have decent midbass, although being mounted in my doors and using plastic mounting brackets, I do believe that I can improve on the midbass response by changing it. They have no trouble getting really loud to keep up with my subwoofer and I believe that they can keep up with yours with no trouble. The imaging is great and if you want to add a second set of tweeters, there are outputs right on the crossover. All in all, $250 and I have much higher quality sound that my friends who upgraded all of their stock speakers in their cars with 3 ways from best buy [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Did I mention I paid about the same? Peace out, if you're from MN, I'd be glad to let you hear my system. T.J. [/QUOTE]
