Looking for a 6.5 and tweeter combo possible with a midrange. Any good sets out there in the 450 dollar range? I need to balance with a JL 12 W7

high end components in that range would be the new diamonnd audio D9 component set (if you can find them), a used set of rainbow audio comps, or a set of focals...all will suffice nicely...or a set of diamond audio s600s hex components ( i have two sets in my ride..one in door locale and one is custom f'glass kickpanels)....Bama350zMD

I wasn't happy with the Diamond He's but you may listen to different music than me. I am trading mine in for PG Elite.

Any chance you have a link to a dealer? I am looking for a pair of the CW17E 002 (L0012) & the CT25AF 001 (L0001). I found one in Oregon but am having a difficult time contacting them.

If you want good quality components you can't go wrong with focal. I used to swear MBQuart was the best. It was what I had in my last vehicle and i had 3 12"JLw6s in the bed, but that all changed when I heard focal. They do range in price though. Anywhere from mid 300s to over a 1000 for the Utopia series. I have the Focal 165 K2P Polykevlar Components which retail close to 900 and they are incredible. My friend's audio shop carries them so I got to hear all them first hand and they all sound good and doubt you will be disapointed with them.

CDT and Dynaudio make very nice speakers.

I have an Elemental Designs eDi6500 setup.. its based on the CDT HD series, runs about 320 bucks shipped with a 3 year warranty, and they sound pretty amazing.

CDT Audio, Boston Acoustics, & Dynaudio.

www.wooferetc.com has Boston Pro60s at incredible prices and I promise they will beat anything under $500. That are absolutely amazing for the price.

im looking for speakers atm too

my last car was running GTi JBLs up front and Power Series rears, and was planning on going for the same setup again

what do u guys think of the JBL GTi's? How do they compare with say the Infinity and Focal?

i listened to some MB Q-Lines and they were too high and uncomfortable up loud

I'm diggin the Phoenix Gold Elites I just put in. The tweeters on non-rotational, so I'm not using them, but the mids and Xover are great.
