i use to use the up stage kit as well which can be quite good thats if you have bad imaging.

my imaging was ok with cdt tweeters.

I since replaced the two sets with one large home format tweeters which are more open than the two sets that i replaced.

The ES-620Z might be the best bargain @ $400. Wish they were that price when I was component shopin'//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wallbash.gif.1310150c49dd52e0fbe1813a0681e5c3.gif

I dont have the upstage kit however i have the cdt cl-62cf set and i have the mids in stock location and the tweets in the a pillars, the doors arent deadened or sealed at all and not a great job with installing them in factory locations, and the midbass is decent not the greatest but it could be much better with proper install.

I don't give a shit about what my passengers hear. The driver seat is the sweet spot.

WHY IS THAT? YOU EXPLAIN?

I was actually getting all excited about the EF w/ upgraded tweets for $169. So, maybe at the quoted list price of almost $600 you can get better, but are there really better-sounding comps at that sale price? That's cheaper than list on Kappas (I know they can be found for less...still).

Another reason why I don't recommend it, is because I don't give a shit about what my passengers hear. The driver seat is the sweet spot.

i can see that. considering most of the time i'm the only one in the truck and it's not driven very much anyway, i wanted it to image well from the driver's side. but in competing, they judge from the passenger side also, and the truck is partly a demo for the shop, so we wanted people to be able to sit in both seats and it sound the same.

I am using the entry level CDT CL comps and they sound amzing, very nice midbass, smooth tweeters and very detailed mids. I have owned MBQ, Infinity, Polk, Excelon and plenty more and the CDT's sound better to me.

Pretty easy to answer. They are peaky. After Diamond Audio changed out the Eton drivers, they are nothing but garbage. The silk is just as peaky as the metal, regardless how you tune or install them.
