[QUOTE="keep_hope_alive, post: 8616649, member: 576029"] the main reason oval vs round speaker debates aren't valid is because driver quality is limited for oval drivers. Very few companies have made quality components using 5x7 or 6x9 drivers. The primary concern with an oval driver is cone flex varies when the suspension isn't equal in distance, and the polar response varies based on orientation - consider the effect on "beaming". If the door speaker is oriented vertically it will sound differently than horizontally at the driver seat - all else equal. There are many amps to choose from. $250 is a low budget, hard to build an "SQ" amp when the internals need to be that cheap, so i'd look for a used amp. Footprint usually matters as does input voltage range and desired crossover flexibility. What can you fit physically? The JL HD600/4 is a nice SQ piece but out of your range usually, would be a great used find. A JL 300/4 or 450/4 or similar slash series would be a good find. I'd also look at the Audison SRX 4 or Hertz HDP 4. [/QUOTE]
