[QUOTE="MrAndyLopez, post: 8076912, member: 653993"] Ok, thank you. Let me first say I know the word "good" is subjective. Next, I listen to this kind of music: Fleetwood Mac, Rage Against the Machine, War, AC/DC, Brooks and Dunn, The Police, Earth, Wind and Fire, Dr Dre, Michael Jackson, and on and on. I want to be able to "mostly" appreciate these recordings while I drive. I don't really "bump" my sound, but I want it to be available if I ask for it. I am mostly wanting presence and clarity at any volume. I feel it's reasonable to think I can find 6.5 comp speakers that will combine with my "good" amps and processor to "sound" good in my truck for under $600. So that brings me here asking you folks with knowledge and experience for advice to help me make an informed choice. Can you guys help me out?
