i don't really have a budget in mind i don't care how much i spend money is not much of an issue. i would like to keep the 6.5 under five hundred but whatever works.

The first thing you should do is take a trip around town and listen to some in stores. I would split your $500 in half and use $250 for the amp and $250 for the speakers.

Don't worry about the amp first, just the speakers. It's easier to find a good amp than it is to find speakers that you like.

Refer to the 2nd post in this thread for what you should look for:

If money is no object, with them 500 get some infinity kappa p's and spend the resont on a better HU. Then it will sound good. Or.....get 500 commponends and run em off a sony hu.... :-\

RE has a nice comp set. http://www.reaudio.com/html/comps.htm

Elevation audio has a nice one too. http://www.elevationaudio.com/concert650.htm

Look in the F/S fourms, Justin is selling these for only $200 I believe. IF they are still for sale.

*I just checked they are still for sell, and a Eaudio dx80.4, and for $375 you can have both. I'd jump on that if I were you.*

you really want an amp with any speakers you get because the sony cdplayer has a very dirty output and itll make good speakers sound like ass. on the infinitys id suggest not getting those if you want to get them somewhat loud. id suggest getting a set of bravox kevlar comps or some arc audio comps and put an amp on them and they will get loud if you want them to and very very clear and the bravox have out standing SQ for the price.

I tend to be kind of eccentric when it comes to comps. I agree that install makes the sound quality, but I also believe in excellent equipment too. If you have 500 bucks to spend on comps, take the advise given here so far. Use 1/2 that for some good comps, Bravox or Elevation Audio, and use the other 1/2 for an amp to run them. You never want to run a set of components from a headunit. There just isn't enough power to get the full benefit of having a separate tweet/mid. If you already have an amp for the speakers, then go with some nicer components. I am not asking you to plunk down 500 bigguns for a component set, but look at the JL XR series of comps. They are around $350 and sound amazing. There aren't much better speakers out there...just better crossovers. this is coming from a guy who has every speaker including sub from Focal.

there are always the raw drivers from Dayton that could fill your needs as well. Just be sure to get the right crossover to properly disperse the soundwaves.

okay i found some components they are diamond audio d661a 6.5. do any of you know anything about those? i plan on using an orion amp for them. also would be better off buying a whole new equlaizer instead of using the one th cd player has
