Good speaker suggestions for metal

[NoH]

Hello all. I am looking for some speakers to replace the stock crap in my '01 civic LX coupe. I have an aftermarket head unit and plan on powering all four speakers with an amp at 45w rms each. I listen mostly to all kinds of metal. My rear deck has 6x9's and front doors are 6.5's.

Here's what I'm currently looking at:

JBL GTO938

JBL GTO638

or maybe some Kicker DS60 instead for the front

Many thanks.

budget?

I'm not trying to go too crazy here. I'm thinking I'll probably keep it within the $200-300 range for all four speakers put together.

I have a BNIB box set of CDT CL-62 comp speakers. A really nice set. I have a mini and have the same set and I listen to Marilyn Mansion on them a lot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I could do $175 shipped!

I've run JBL's in the past and also Kicker KS series. I'm an 80's metal head. Both sets sounded good. Try to get out and listen at a few stores/shops and bring along the music you like...

I think you could get some good sounding metal with that budget, but you're leaving out sound deadening. Metal music is full of energy that can really make your body panels make some nasty noises, and a few well-placed pieces of deadener can help with that.
