Nice set of Components from $150 and below

Hey guys,

I am in the market for some comps to help level out my new system of 2 12" type r's. My car can take 6.5" in the front. I was looking into the type r comps which are 110 on ebay. If you have any other suggestions please tell me. I want something that will level out my system with nice mids and highs that are under 150 shipped that i can buy on ebay. I was also suggested to look at some PG's that look alright. But give me some more suggestions please.

thanks

mike

Well I am yet another satisfied user of the Phoenix Gold rsd's. I would say that they are everything that people are saying they are. For $87 shipped on ebay i dont think i could do better with out robbing some place.

RSds!!

Yes, the RSd's are hard to beat for the money. $129 shipped at onlinecarstereo.com or $87 shipped from AudioSavings on eBay. Just make sure you can feed them a clean 2x120-150w rms to get the most out of the midbass.

i just bought a set for $87 shipped from audiosavings on ebay, along with a zx550.2 amp and a set of rca's. they are in NY and so am i! so i might see them as early as monday. i will have it all installed tuesday. i hope they are everything people say they are. i have high hopes though cause of what everybody says about them. i will post a full review after i get them and get sometime on them. my doors are deadened and sealed already, so i should get the most out of them possible.

hows the sound though, besides just loud? i know everybody says they have killer midbass, but how are the highs? smooth, bright, clear? also how and where do you have them crossed over at? i'm hoping i can cross mine over at 63hz at a 12db slope without a problem using about 125 watts rms per side..

Here's a review of them on 170w rms per side.

Here's the direct link to them at the retailer that also sells them on eBay for the same price.

sweet, he says they are not bright at all. thats what i need. i listen to a lot of metal and like the highs loud and clear but not harsh. the problem with my stock speakers is that the tweeter is kind harsh at higher volume. i can't wait to get these in!!!

i don't know if i'm really the most qualified guy to base a review on. i have only had one other set of comps, Infinity kappa perfect 6.1's (they were far from perfect IMO) in one of my past cars.

but i will try and give them the best review i can. i am trying to get away from just being loud and more towards SQ but on a tight budget. anybody can be loud but i want it to be decently loud but sound as perfect as possible. i think the most SQ will come from deadening most of the car though(i'm working on that slowly as well, as i already did the doors).

id like to hear another review myself

We love reviews on ca.com //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

alright i will have a review of my initial thoughts on them on tuesday if everything goes well. i am off all day tuesday from my job and will have them in as long as they get to me by then(which they should since the seller and I are both in NY). i will also update after a few days of listening and tweaking them.

i'm pretty sure i'm going to mount my tweeters in the kicks. and the woofers will be in the doors on a 3/4 mdf baffle.

Awesome, thanks for the info. I am defiantly going to buy the PG's listed above. And what an awesome price too. Thanks again guys.
