need help! getting new speakers!

[er1kkull 10+ year member]

wasabi, if you cant tell by what i write i am just beginning to get into car audio(noob) and need help. iam seeking advice on the best speakers for my 02 S-10 and iam looking to get component speakers 6 1/2 (tweeters and crossover) for the price under $300 and 4x6 under $150 I would like them to hold at least 75 watts rms and iam looking for the best quality amp to push them for under $400. I would be thankful if someone can help me out. I listen to mostly metal, alernative, rap, country and blues. so basically i need the best all around ones.

even the best name brands that you think are good and around these prices i can look for the exact model numbers. the names i was looking at were Eclipse (course), mb quart, ma audio, Diamond, CDT, andFocal. but eclipse dont hold much power on there 4x6

Thanks to anyone that feels like replying

My System of now:

HU: Eclipse CD5433

Subs: two Eclipse aluminum cone 12"dvc (SW8122DVC) want Ti.

Amp: Kicker 800.2 (KX)

http://www.thezeb.com/caraudio/CDT_Audio_Components.html - CL-61a's....I own a pair myself, great all-around speakers, and an even better price. But the best advice I can give is to go to all the local shops around you and listen to what you can before making a purchase.

Gauntlet: I have yet to find a shop that has Focal or CDT on display to listen.

You should probably be able to find one if you look hard enough....but if not....you can pretty much flip a coin, both are great. I'd personally take the CDT's because they're cheaper...

i second the cdt's they are amazing. And easy to install. I am powering mine with a usx 2080. 80watts is nice.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Where are your 4x6s in the car? If they're in the back, you will not need them. A set of comp speakers up front and an amp is all you will need.

they are on the front dash

Where are you 6.5's? Doors?

 

[er1kkull 10+ year member]

Yes 6.5s are in the lower left hand of the door.

I say ditch the 4x6's....put the 6.5" driver in the doors and the tweets in the dash
