The plan is to keep the factory location (tweeters pointing at the glass) and deaden the doors. Tweeters might be sunk into the a pillars if there is a noticeable difference in SQ.
So far I have seen CDT Classic comps with 1" silk dome tweeter, some older models seem to be selling for pretty cheap.
Another thought is a Planet Audio set. Anyone know how much these cost?

Get up with Terry on the Planet Audios. I have a set of the 6.5's and I really like them. They have a real good sound, and mine aren't even amped yet.
I have had mine for about 6 months.

Wouldn't look past the used sets, either. You can get some really good used mid-level comps in the $100-200 range. I got my Aura MRs for a little over 100 bucks.

the CDT's sound good for sure... not alot of "bass" from em, but they may in the right environment i guess is the word.. but mine get nice and loud and crisp without alot of distortion, and i just think they sound be-uti-ful .. another set of comps i think sound good are the JL XR's comps and them REV comps(yellow ones) from Pioneer

Probably some good bang, but too much buck. The CDT classics can be had for around $130. The car its going in, the owner is on a tight budget.

i have a set of classics in my truck(CL61a's).. the mids in the doors and the tweets are flushed into the sail panels on a JBL 180.2.. sounds GREAT.... i also just got some kick pods and will be adding another set powered by my little 80.2 for the time being. for the money i think they sound wonderful.. although mine are backed with the 880prs, whatever that may mean to you.. i think it helps a little :cheers:

the tweets have a swivel, so i have them directed towards me..

Cadence has the Clv kits for an alright price direct.

I think $170ish?
