Hey echo 1434.
CDT's line is a good line at a lower price piont.
I have played with CDT mids & tweeters, & there Mids can be tonality good, not great. there tweeters are or can be harsh, yes very harsh.
if you're looking for that hifi home smooth sound , then maybe you can look into raw drivers.
You have Scan Speak,SB Acoustics,Peerless,Vifa,Aurum Cantus,Seas,Fountek,ETC......
Partsexpress & Madisound.
Tuning is your biggest challenge.
Before you buy another comps set why not try active?
when your'e looking at spending $500 plus doesn't mean you get a better product.
Hertz,Rainbow,Image Dynamics,Morel,Dynaudio,dls,Focal, Etc.... all sale raw drivers.
If you have the ear to hear the drifferent as in tonality midrange, smooth or harsh voices,detail, yes i love detail.
sparkle on top,etc.....
Your install is the most important part of caraudio.
Placement,aiming,deadening,etc....
myself i like the sound of a F.A.S.T. sound stage vs 2way or 3way set ups.
Please before you buy CDT do more reading on other forums.
$500 is a lot to waste on a good to average comp setup
