Im looking to change my setup for my 2nd Z (long story). anyway, in my last z i had boston acoustics pro60 components with the tweeter axis mounted with the woofer(in wicked cas door pods) and an imaging system mounted in the stock tweeter location(4 tweeters, two woofers). and i had 3 10w6v2's in the rear. i tuned it and it sounded really good and got pretty loud too. but boston uses cheap connectors on their crossovers and speakers and ive experienced problems already and dont know if i want that in my new setup. so i did some research and found some comparable speakers around the same price range. now keep in mind that i like it loud but it still has to sound good(as hard as that might be)

heres what i found:
focal 165K2P UV
Jl Audio ZR650-CSi
RE Audio 6.5XXX components
Morel Hybrid Ovation 6
or keep the Boston Pro60's

Im most likely gonna run 2 sets of components in the doors(going to fiberglass the door panels) the reason for 2 sets is that i like to crank it up when need be at shows and stuff.
I listen to mostly rap music in the car but i also listen to rock. need a speaker with flexibility.
ive heard most in person except the RE audio's and the Morel's
sorry for the long post but need some advice from some people that have experience with all of these speakers.

 

other than the REs, whcih i have no heard, i have heard or installed the rest...

my preference:

1. Morel Ovation

2. Focal 165k2p

3. JL ZR

again, no idea on the RE...but i like smooth sound above all, wchih is why Morel is one of my favorite brands...along with DLS and AVI

Your lists is pretty short. It ought to take you a couple of hours to hunt them down and compare them yourself. Personally I like blondes and Asian women but would want to date either of them for a bit before getting hitched. You ought to listen to the speakers with your own ears. Trust me, she's pretty and she's got a great personality.

 

thanks for the input guys!!

ive heard everything except the morels and RE's, as far as i know there isnt anyone nearby that carries either of them. plus, speakers in a room sound a lot different than they do in a car. the bostons sounded like crap in the store, but when i put them in my car they sounded great. im gonna have to do some more research

 

K2P's all the way. I just put a set in and I have never heard anything sound that good.

 

I have a set of RE comps right now in my prelude,I didnt want to try the xxx due to how deep it is it would have touched the window track in the door,but the comps were very nice,it seems the higher the volume the cleaner the sound was

 

My vote is for CDT ES620 w/t upstage kit. I heard a set in a friends ride and all I can say is PHENOMINAL!
I now own a set and am ready to install shortly!

 

I was close to getting a set of the cdt ef61's,but then found a better deal for a set of cdt HD62's,waiting for the zenclosure speaker pods to be made for the 06's first,but they're suppose to be real nice speakers

 

Recently I saw some pics around here of someone using 8" mids in the doors... now thats pimp. If your gonna go custom on the doors, I would check that out.

CDT's do sound nice in Nazar door pods


Now if I could only stop kicking them when I get out of the car..

 

MB Quart is the only comparable to Focal in my opinion.

I have MB Quart and it is crazy loud!!

 

Same thing here.......I have a 06 and am waiting on BIG MIKE and those door pods!

 

Yeah .....but aren't the MB's very shrill. I had them in my 300Z for a time and had to get rid of them.
Thats why I love the CDT's ....very loud warm natural tone to them!

im not a fan of MB quarts, i went to a shop and checked out the focals and jl ZR's. their actually very close, the focals sound a little more natural but the tweeter is brighter, maybe too bright. the JL's sounded really good too, im gonna have to hear them both inside of a car.
