[QUOTE="baronkatz, post: 8281300, member: 634607"] Hello All, I currently have Infinity Reference Series Coaxials installed with an Alpine 3553 Amp. I am looking to upgrade. I ended up buying The Alpine Alpine SPX-F17T and wanted to use it as a two way system with the 5.25 and tweeter. Unfortunately the tweeters are way too deep for the cheater panels and the crossovers are humungous to the point where they won't fit in the door panel. The SPX-137A is what was recommended to me as the maximum that could fit (for both the tweeter and the crossovers). Does anyone have any other recommendations? As far as SQ I want someting similar to my ADS L690 or ADS L1230 but I want the build quality to be the same as the SPX series Alpines made by Scanspeak that I mentioned. My budget is around $200 New old Stock or Used. Is the SPX-137A the best I can get in terms of that size and build quality? I don't have a chance to listen to ANY of them but like I said I really want an excellent sound that's not too bright similar to my ADS tower speakers at home. MB Quartz looks cheap and cracks easily and the ADS are usually overpriced for ome reason. I also need a high end amp to replace my 3553 which has a channel out and which I never really liked the sound of that much. I bought a Planet Audio HVT 4CH Tube amp but unfortunately it gets in the way of the trunk latch Clarity and depth is really important to me. The maximum size is 11.5" Wide and 12" Tall so that really limits me. I want the best oldschool amp that $200 can buy. I found an Audison VR404XR that will fit. Any others that one can recommend for that pricerange used? Thank you. Looking forward to all your replies and recommendations. [/QUOTE]
