I'd get the Alpine SPS-600C or the Alpine SPR-17S for a component setup. I hooked up some Alpine Type-S SPS-13C2 to 140-150 watts at full volume, ran them for awhile, then realized I didn't turn the crossover from full to high. Really good speakers. Power Acoustik had some good speakers out called XP2K. They have a new XP series out, with better surround and tweeters. For mid bass go with Elemental Designs e3.6 subwoofer.

try not to take advice from those who can't hear if a mid is highpassed or not.

I have yet to hear a CDT speaker that I like. Besides the fact that every single one I heard had a crappy midrange reproduction, you have those horrible Ronald McDonald colors to boot.

You may want to look at the Pioneer PRS comps .Fit you price range and will shit on those cdt's in all aspects . I know first hand being that Ive owned both sets. The ID comps are very good comps for the money also .

i just installed pioneer ts-ai702c's in my s-10 4 days ago and have them running on an older fosgate 500x @ 250rms each x-overed at 65hz and they sound great.

what type of power are you planning on feeding them? if your limit is 300 if you can squeeze out 60 more i'd recommend these

Don't listen to them Alpines are good. Image Dynamics aren't better than Alpine.

Alpines are good. BUT imo ID is better. it's all a matter of taste. i've seen plenty of ppl who went with alpine pros and are completely disappointed with the sound. but it goes both ways. so saying that ID aren't better is your opinion.

i disagree. i hate the prs tweets, way too harsh. i have also had experience w/ both sets, and i think that the lower mid response on the pioneers is WAY better than the cdts, but the real higher (like 60hz & up) mid bass and midrange is better on the cdt's than pioneer. but the tweets are what makes me think otherwise, cuz i love the cdt's silk tweeters //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
