man I really need to know...hey exalted what do I need to run for door speakers man?

[Exalted512]

how much money? just 1 set of 6.5 components? what amp?

[DirtyBlackHoe]

More then likely a kicker 350.4 for the front and rear speakers. Rears will be coaxil and front will be components...less then 400 for both pair.

well like someone said in the other thread, you could do with Diamond m6s. i had a pair that i got from onlinecarstereo for $230 shipped. pretty good speakers. didnt put out a lot of bass but theyre not 6.5s, theyre 6s. so that might be part of it. great sound quality though.
their rms is 170?? i think, i was running them at around 225 without a complaint but one of the leads came off the terminal. easy fix but im just going to send it back to ocs.
for coaxials, you can get the m361s(diamond) i believe the tweeter even rotates for better staging...

oo and i forgot to type this...on the m6 comps, you can hook up your rears to the components' crossovers. its called "raf" or something. i think it supposed to send like 20% of the power to your rears and delay the sound...or something like that...
that way your rears wouldnt be overpowering, be amped, built in crossover...etc

Hmm why bother with the rear speakers? Dump the $$ into getting the next series line of whatever brand you are thinking of. Here is a word of advice, a lot of people on here and many other "strictly car audio" forums dont use equipment that you can find at Best Buy or that you hear of everyday. But thats because its not mainstream stuff. That being said, they are often cheaper and produce much better results than any of the mainstream crap. So dont go to your local car audio shop cause they will take you for a ride big time. As far as 6.5" comps go, there are several to look into:
and in no particular order...

[Exalted512]

It will be in a tahoe so I am going to do something for the back speakers...where are some places to buy diamond or crystal componenets?

[Exalted512]

i got my diamonds from onlinecarstereo
-Cody

[DirtyBlackHoe]

[Exalted512]

I'm a rep for Arc Audio and the product quality and prices are VERY good(and they are a great bunch of guys to work for also :) ) If you have any questions please just ask on their comp

[DirtyBlackHoe]

right now I am looking at the Kicker RS's, MB Quartz PCE 216's, Diamond m's, or the Crystal's but i can't find the crystals

[Exalted512]

my vote goes to the diamonds, great price, great speakers. but i havent heard the crystals though
-Cody

[Bostonian Fats]

not to toss myself in here, but i had a 3 way Crystal set, a 2 way Crystal set, and a 2 way 5.25 Image Cham set sitting in my closet. i'm not sure how this forum works with for sales in normal threads so please delete this if need be. i'd part with any of them just because I have so many raw drivers.

getting over myself:

all the set's listed by dsz71 are nice. i've heard the majority, and with the exception of focal, are all pretty ear friendly.
