[QUOTE="whitemax, post: 8297409, member: 572612"] Stay away from the Boss stuff. For a little more ($149.99) you can pick up a set of Polk Audio db6501's that will sound way better than the Boss listed. The crossover also gives you a little tuning ability on the tweeter. The good thing is that if you don't like them, Crutchfield has a great return policy.
