I would do the W6's. Yeah they may be a little out of your price range, but at leats you can count on what your getting. Not to mention they sound great, and can get crazy loud.

not doing a thing with audio right now. got a bit tired of it for a bit. I've got all four of the PCs here apart right now being upgraded in various ways.. so that's got me tied up and mostly offline.

Ive got 2 W6 AE10's right now. Had one of 'em in my car with a 300 watt amp in a ported box i designed and built. It did good, restored good sounds quality and still got crazy loud, 140 to be exact. I liked it, but its rough on the rag-top back glass so it had to go. It's on ebay now. Check it out if ya want, i gotta get rid of it.

im not a fan of memphis.....i have a couple of their speakers here that i replaced with quarts for a customer and the cap on one of them wasnt even soldered on one end and the speakers were just coming apart...so i took them apart, lined the basket with duct tape and use them to hold screws and parts when i am installing my stuff in someones car....

it was pretty funny one day when someone was telling me about the memphis audio speakers they had in their car, i was like, hey i got some over here and showed them to him and he like to filled his britches..............what did you do??? those things rock!!!

Tell him you think he's asking too much considering the way he abused them & offer him $70 ;)

He may either haul @$$ or agree to the price...

i really dont like memphis i think all their stuff sounds like ass or lets say kicker. and they over rate what their subs can handle to. one o fmy friends has 2 sph12 i think thats the number and memephis told them rms was 1200 watts and and peak was like 2000. so he had them hooked up to a 500/1 and they got pretty loud and sounded alright but not too good so we hooked them up to a 1605d hifonics at 2 ohms which is suppose to be 1100 watts so 550 each. that is half of thier rated rms power and they got hot very hot you couldnt even touch the cone it was so hot.

jszar you could go with some bravox or arc or rainbow or DLS anyof those would be a great choice for comps.

and darthness if you want a decent sub thats pretty cheap check out an alpine type r they are pretty decent for the money (ebay price)

and me i currently have no projects except a '39 chevy street rod im working on but thats about it.
