Best Components for $300

What about these (added to your list) as well.
I often saw 2 out of these 3 options as the "debate" for people. The responses were usually mixed which meant to me they were all the same, being cheap I went with the CDT's.
Again, The Momo's would get my money given the $140 price. I'd rather fight to get them fit (1" spacers in my room and I don't mind having to do some minor tweaking) than spend a lot of extra money to get the newer versions (assuming I get them fit fine in the end).

The more I think about it, I may just save up for a set of Polk SR6500. I see them online for $499 which is A LOT more than I originally wanted to spend but I think it may be worth it in the long run. Any thoughts?
Pretty sure I no what most people will say but pick one:
Polk SR6500 - $499.99
Hertz MLK165 - $555
Is that a good deal for the Hertz, always thought they were more expensive.

I was able to talk of MLK165 place down to $500 shipped. I am guessing the JL 300/2v2 I wanted wouldn't be quite enough power anymore. What do you guys think of the Fosgate T600-2. (200w rms x 2 @ 4ohms). MLK165 are 150w rms but I have read of MULTIPLE people putting 450w x 2 to them and telling how they could take more.

I feel like a women hear not being able to make up my mind. Anyone have any input on Hybrid Clarus C61-2. Can get them for $399 and have been told they are better then the hertz mlk165.

Just out of curiosity, what are your goals in the upgrade.
You started in a lower price range and suddenly increased.
If I bumped up I was looking at Mmats 641 (I think) 3 way components, or similar from CDT or Rainbow.
I'm impressed by the quality of the CDT speakers, they remind me a lot of the Memphis M-class speakers I had (in terms of build). That said, I need to paint the tweeter mounting surround black so it doesn't stick out so bad when I mount it to my sail panels.

My goal is to have an audio system that will leave me impressed for the lifetime of my vehicle. I know like a lot of things in life your excited to get something, then you get it and after a week its like ehh its was nice for a week. I still love from car after having it for about 6 months and I just don't want to put in a new audio system and then look back and say I wish I had done this or that.
I haven't looked into door pods at all and for one don't even really know the pros/cons or them so if someone would be so nice to educate me some on them I'd apprieciate it. Probably end up googling it after I post this anyways.
BTW this has come a total obsession.
I was totally set of HSK165's until the place I was going to purchase it decided to raise the price they promised me. So I have been pretty much looking at the following
Polk SR6500 $499
Hertz MLK165 $500
Hybrid Clarus C61-2 $399
The place I am now planning on getting everything installed highly recommended the Hybrid (they sell them) The guy told me in his opinion they were better than any of the above speakers I listed. A bit bias maybe lol who knows.

Also, can you recommend an amp for these speakers that won't break the bank? I was thinking of this one: http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=6083
Thanks!

I'm in the market for a component set up and I am interested in the Momo's. I am considering picking these up since they should fit it relatively easy compared to the $140 (oversized) version mentioned in this thread:http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?...roduct_ID=2571

They make good products and have pretty awesome prices for their amps.
