After witnessing a friend of mine torch a set of CDT's and then they still played all the while smelling the whole shop up with electrical smoke sold me on that brand. And in my honest opinion, I would put CDT's over Cadence any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Better quality, better baskets, better components, better crossovers. better overall components. I think you will like them better in the long run too.

Anyone got any experience with either one of these?

Leaning toward the Cadence's but read one review where the tweets seem harsh and he had bad popping when trying to get loud in the midrange.

Kind of scared me the other few reviews I found seemed good.
A/D/S 246's are also in this mix also I suspose.

I ALREADY TOLD YOU!

Ok, I originally wanted the A/D/S 346's but honestly I'm out of money. I sold my amp + sub for 200 bucks and have to use as much as possible of it to pay for some other stuff. The pioneer speakers I have in my car aren't cutting it.
I realize the price diff in these and I just want something that I can match up to an 18" sub and turn to moderate levels and still be able to hear without a lot of distortion.

I will be powering these with a PPI 2300.2 Amp
