What is the best component set. ($2000 and under)

[CP5000 10+ year member]

I have been using my 5 1/4 Eclipse components for 3 years now and would like to upgrade. I am crossing them over on the HU so all I would need are the mid and tweet. I'm sure most sets have the cross over I just don't need it. The Eclipse mid kinda sucks now that I am running only fronts and a sub.

Any opinions on what some really good components are. I would like to use my amp. 85 watts per channel rms X 4.

They make some Rainbows that are like 5g and come in a suitcase..

so I have heard.. or maybe they were 10g..

Well obviously that kind of money is a problem. I am not competing, just want some nice sounding speakers.

So just to clarify. $2000 and under.

Your running them from the HU for power and crossover????

Thats not a good way to do it. And your limit is $2000 US dollors right.

If your running it off your head unit you might as well just buy some decent coaxils.

you know you can get very good ones for like 300-500...you can buy an entire *great* system for 2000

They are crossed over on my Eclipse 8454. Powered by my Eclipse PA5422. I believe 85 watts rms X 4.

Just remember; the best speakers in the world will still sound like crap in a poor install. Especially when dealing with speakers of this caliber, install is everything

I paid around $300 for my current set up. I guess what I really want is more mid-bass. So even a new mid with my current tweet would sound better.

Ok now I understand.

How about some RE XXX6.5's and some morel tweets

Check into a long-throw midwoofer; like the RE XXX6.5.

Refer to the RE XXX6.5 mid.

Are the RE XXX 6.5 available separately. Or only as a whole system?

Who sells them online.

Only the mids are available. They are not available as a full comp set.
