Which component set???

[rjay 10+ year member]

I finally decided to go ahead and change the front speakers in my 09 Nissan Sentra to a set of components. Don't have the amp yet to power them, but will be around 60-75 watts per channel. I was debating between the Polk Audio db5251 for $100 or the Boston Acoustics SC60 for $130. I really can't afford to go over that, they both seem to have good reviews. What do you guys think, is it worth the extra $30 to get the Bostons? Thanks

The bostons are def better than the polks, these are inbetween that price and sound great. Amazon.com: Morel Maximo 6 1/2 inch 2 way component system: Electronics

Yeah I will probably go with the Bostons. Is it best to use the crossovers they come with, or the crossover on the amp?

The crossovers that most component speakers come with are to separate frequencies for the mid and tweeter. Most amps come with a crossover that is meant to separate the mid from sub frequencies, so yes you have to use their crossovers.

I'd try Morels. They have very good reviews. The bass quality is reportedly strong and the tweeter can be too loud depending on positioning, but for this price it's hard to find a mostly flawless speaker.
