New Front Stage

[Vipervenom18 10+ year member]

I sold my last ride, and now am in search for a new front stage. I already have my substage siting in my room: Two 12in TC1000s with a Mmats D1500.2 mono amp to power them. They will be going in a custom sealed enclosure with a net cf volume of 1.1cf.

Now, I need a new head unit, comp set, and amp to power the comsp.

I am going to leave this thread to just the comp set I am looking for.

Here is what it needs to be: 6.5in 2 way comp set. This is going into a 1999 Camaro coupe. I know there are a lot of people with f-bodies on here, so if any of you come across this thread let me know if there is any mounting depth issues I am unaware of. My truck had deep doors so there was no issue there.

My last comp set were the Image Dynamics 6.5 Chameleons, and this is the best front stage I have ever had. I kind of want to get speakers on par (or better of course) to the IDs. I plan on getting a 4 channel amp and bridging it to a 4 ohm load, as that seems to be the cheapest way to get uber power at a 4 ohm load. I am looking to give 125-200 watts rms to each side. I also liked the silk tweeter a lot of the ID speaker, as all of my prior comps were metal dome, and even though they were very detailed, they were harsh. But I am still willing to look into metal domes as long as they are not too harsh.

So give me an idea guys. I have been out of the Component realm for a bit, and am not sure what is really good out there anymore as of now. I head a/d/s had some good deals going on?

Any help on what to look for would be great guys. Any recommendations are welcome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I prefer the Adire Koda's Im running now to the Chameleons I ran before.

Yeah? What do you like about them better?

So far I have also been recommended the Type X comps (I have heard them, and they didn't leave me too impressed) and the Oz Matrix Elite 6.5 comp set. Two people said that component set rocks.

More low end output... although still not enough for my taste. lol But to be fair, now that I think about it the Chams were 5.25's and the Koda's are 6.5's.

All in all the chams were solid performers, dont get me wrong.

Right on,

So what else is out there these days? I am not sure what good comp sets there are to look for for my needs.
