Run active with your 880.......

Maybe a set of AA poly mids ($80) and some LPG tweets ($90).......comes in quite a bit under your budget too.....

Best way to learn is to do it.........Ive never ran a decent front stage at all, closest I came was a set of RE comps shittily installed, for a couple days.

You would need a small tweet amp, or a 4 channel. Or, you could try the tweets off your deck, might be enough power for them.......

That will work...remember they are 3 ohm speakers so you will have about 33% more power to work with.

I second the active move knowing that you have such a capable HU. If you go that route the choices become nearly limitless...which may only add to your frustration!!

Best comp set for $250 IMO is the OZ Audio Matrix Elites...if you can find them for that.

rainbows...

which model?

 

[sic402 10+ year member]

im a newb...... what the hell does active mean speaker wise? Also, how much can you get the pro's for compared to 259 for the elites.

I have $10 via PayPal if someone can find a thread where Slick doesn't recommend Rainbow speakers!!!

And to answer your question about which are better the Pro's or OZ....it's impossible without defining 'better'. The OZ's where in an install which received a perfect score in a sound off competition.
