ugh double post again.

I really don't like buying used. but my friend is looking for something just like that hertz set^ so I'll forward it to him.

I am really leaning towards buying the woofers separate and going active. That way I can save some money since I don't need the crossovers. So what I need is a midwoofer like a dayton rs180 or silver flute, but one that can handle 200watts a piece. and a matching tweeter. Since the midwoofer will be mounted off axis I'd like to get large format tweeters and cross them around 2000hz

how low could I cross the tweeters?

I generally start out around 3.2khz and move down from there.

changed my budget to $180. I'm very tempted to buy the JBL MS-62C comps. Unless I can out do those with buying individual woofer and tweeters. How would silver flutes paired with SEAS Prestige 27TFFNC/G tweets compare to the jbl's?

thanks for all the suggestions guys. I finally took the plunge and ordered a pair of the silver flute 6.5 mids.

now I just need to chose a tweeter. I want a fairly "laid back" or "warm" sounding tweeter. budget is $40 per tweeter. thanks in advance

Had alu tweeters with my diamonds and loved them.

is that basically the same as this one but in an aluminum dome instead of textile? would there be much of a sound difference between the two?

I love metal music and alu seems more detailed. Harsh at first but gets better after a while. Try both if you are not sure.. 40$ is not the end of the world.

yeah, but I have kind of found out over the last couple years that I absolutely hate any kind of harsh sounding highs/vocals. Although I also like metal music, so I'll have to think about it a bit more

Would you classify these tweets as laid back? What type of music do you mostly listen to?

Very much so. I listen to a lot of rock, house music, rap, and country. They can get very loud and take a lot of power while not sounding harsh.

sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. where did you have them mounted?

They are currently high and to the front in my doors. I'm probably going to put them in my a pillars to raise the stage a bit. Overall I really am pleased with them.
