Been awhile. I normally just work with current audio equipment I own or buy brands that I trust. I'm a big CDT Audio speaker fan. Been running sets of their speakers since 2005. I have 3 sets of their comps. These speakers have been fantastic over the years but now I need 5.25 comps instead of 6.5 and I wouldn't mind trying something new. If all else fails I will just order some more CDT's but we'll see.
Okay so I need two sets of 5.25 comps for my 99 Lexus LS400. These will be installed in each door. I want to stick with 5.25" because that is the factory size and when I decide to sell the car I want to put all of the original audio equipment back in. So no; I do not want to modify the door openings to allow a larger speaker.
The amp that I will use is my trusty Diamond Audio D600.4 ( 90 watts RMS x 4 at 4 ohms (150 watts RMS x 4 at 2 ohms) )
My budget is not set in stone but I would love to pay no more than $500-600 total for both sets. I'm flexible though. I want SQ over SPL but I like my music loud and clean. These will be paired with one of my subs but I have not made a decision yet. I have a couple of 10's a 12 and a 15 to choose from. I'm tempted to use my SoundSplinter RL-p 15 but I may go with a 10 or 12 instead to save space.
Also I am not interested in Active setup. I prefer passive. I know I know...active is awesome...still not interested though.
Any recommendations? God it's been so long since I've looked into current comps. I like quite a few brands but would like some opinions if you don't mind.
Thanks!
Oh and ignore the signature below. I still own all of that equipment except for the deck but it's all in other cars now. I own 3 cars and a truck so lots of audio gear.
