[QUOTE="CiminoUM5, post: 2521578, member: 572947"] Alright, I've done an absurd amount of searches in this forum and I think I've narrowed down my choices a bit. Here's my current setup: Pioneer 7500mp DEI 2055 comps ESX q1204 (2) JL 10W0-8ohms The JLs and DEIs have seen better days and are going to be replaced. I'm likely going to go with the AA Assassins (whenever they're available/in stock again) to replace the JLs. I love the way the DEIs sound, for a reference of what I like. Clean but smooth tweeters (not a fan of super-bright ones) and some nice punchy midbass. I'm SQ all the way, don't really care about SPL. What 5.25s would you guys recommend for $150 or less (preferably less)? So far I'm thinking my best options are: - CDT C51s - Crystal SSCs - a/d/s 245ix I'd love to have Rainbows, but they're out of my price range. I believe I've seen a some people recommend a set of reasonably priced Orions...how do they stack up to the above comps? Also keep in mind that the ESX will be pushing ~ 120w to whatever I get.
