RE RE component set

are these good sets or what? (im open to suggestoins... obviously my price range is around $150-$220

im leaning towards the focals, JL, and diamonds... (maybe the JL's would match up well with my sub)

i would advise away from the diamonds if you value the warranty... i know some info that i cant legaly speak of but i would advise against them...

I dont like them Rainbows!

I would honestly go with the JL's given the choices.

Also the RE series comps are in the 150 area and are probably better than most on that list and give the JL set a run for the money (still probably better).

Crystal, a brand I wouldnt mind trying. They got some nice looking comps, the csc line.

I'd go with the RE's for the price. I haven't heard any complains from them.

alright. we'll see how money coems in over the next few days. My main issue right nwo is power.. as i don't have any plans to upgrade my amp right now.

I'd go with the JLs. The BAs aren't bad either. I haven't been too impressed with REs components, or the XXX midbass for that matter. Sometimes you can find the Alpine Type X components in that price range, and IMO they're better than all listed above.

I've pretty much limited it down to the RE set or JL set.. i think i've heard the JL set. now its down to how funds are looking.going to mount them in my a-pillars, im hoping to use fiberglass for this project.

along with that i need to pickup a JL remote bass knob for my amp. Hrm, i've got lots of stuff to do to my car!

I guess it's got a lot to do with your personal tastes. I can't comment much on any of these sets, but I do know that some people would enjoy a $150 set of components over a $1k set of Rainbow/Focal and other high end components..just comes down to what you like.
