looking for a new component set

[bdavies11 10+ year member]

I'm looking for a good 6.5" component set for around $150. I don't need anything with bright or aggressive tweeters but I am going to be without a sub for a little while so I'd like something with good midbass/bass capabilities. I know a mid-bass driver isn't a sub (I am going to add a sub soon) but for now, I'd like something that can at least do a decent job with the lower frequencies. I've got 80wrms to throw at them and they will be installed in sound deadened doors. I am not looking for loud but rather good sound quality. Any thoughts? Recommendations? Thanks!

You're asking a lot from some comps bud. $150 isn't a lot to work with neither is the power what ohms are you looking at that's 80rms? Most are 4 ohms but there are some two ohm comps out there.

jbl ms62, crazy midbass. i have them and give them 7/10 because they arent loud enough for me if they were a tad louder theyd be 10/10. although they sound really good and have such good midbass you might find them for like $200 or used for cheaper somewhere.

It's awesome. It's only seeing about 450 watts max but its also in 3 cubes sealed. Very large box for 1 12" sealed but that's what that sub calls for. It's crazy accurate and plenty loud enough for me.
