[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7374316, member: 614752"] Spending a shitload of money on expensive speakers is very silly. Head over to zaphaudio.com and look at some of the relatively inexpensive drivers he uses to make some reference quality home cabinets. Focus budget on deadening, processing power (EQ, and time alignment) and an all around sound install first then get whatever components you can afford. Your money and time spent there will make just about any avereage driver perform very well. Partsexpress and Madisound are full of good performers. You can spend 400$ a piece for tweeters, but if you don't have decent processing or pay attention to install location and aiming they'll sound like ***. Ditto for every other part, but I know the snobophiles generally spend boat loads on their tweeters. IMO just moving location and aiming a tweeter a few degrees in a different direction can have dramatic impact on overall sound, and a lot of ppl are throwing money at something that a little patience and testing could have accomplished with a 50$ component. I would reccomend the Zed Audio amps. Full range class D, plenty of power, superb sound and a small footprint. Also very efficient so shouldn't overtax your stock electrical. They look really clean too. [/QUOTE]
