Help with choosing componets<450$

[chrisct 10+ year member]

I am looking for a new/used set of components for around $450 or less that would get the most out of a Sundown Sax-100.4D amp. I am looking for components that will get "LOUD" to hang with a 15" RE-XXX sub, but not distort doing it. I would prefer a set that would get "LOUD" without sounding shitty, than one that one with not as much output but better SQ.

I have been doing some research and a lot of speakers fit in the price range. I just don't know which ones would be best for my aforementioned goal to get loud while still sounding good.

Here are some speakers that fall into the price range, feel free to suggest any speakers that u think would better suit my needs.

Focal KR2/K2P ----used or ebay

Morel DETECH OVATION 6 ----400$(ebay)

since you have a 4channel amp why not go with raw driver?

it will be hard to have a single comp set keep up with a XXX

Thanks for your input. That might be a good idea also. I will research that too. Any driver suggestions?

Thanks for the advise. Alot of people have been saying to go with the Boston SPZ60. Do yall know how it compares to the Focal K2P or kr2. Thanks

Depending on the vehicle, why not just do a set of horns and a good midbass. Loud as f**k and sound **** good doing it.

Out of all those I've listened to, I would suggest either the Dotech Ovation 6 or the MLK165. The Dotech gives great output and the tweeter is a little more laid back. The MLK165 gets LOUD as HELL but and the tweeter can get a little aggressive at times in the small chamber. Good thing is if you can fit it, you can use the large chamber. The focals are nice but a little sharp for my taste. Bostons are a well balanced set but they are like that character on a video game that has avg everything. Nothing stands out too much but its a solid performer. The rainbow germs IMHO have a great tweeter but lack midbass compared to some of the others listed. The vanadiums have a nice tight mid and great tweet but lack a little low end umph.

Hope this helps.

May not be the size your looking for but my Old School Kicker Resolution set would get as loud if not louder then most of those listed... People overlook them becasue the name. Just check out the build quality in my FS thread.
