Hi guys,

I'm looking to buy some components for a budget project.

I have $180-$280 to spend.

I'll buy wherever is cheapest. eBay 2nd hand, etc.

Can someone recommend the best sounding speakers I can get for this money.

I was looking at Infinity Kappa Perfects, any other suggestions??

What size are you looking for and do you need a passive crossover with them?

Ok, theres MANY options.

I can tell you this though, in your price range there is many options and not much difference between most.

Theres a set of ALpine Type X's floating around new for $200 on some online retailer.

Smoker has some very awesome deals on Scosche EFX comps. These sound pretty damned amazing for Scosche. I would seriously consider these if your budget is tight, spend the extra saved cash on a good amp...

Justin can get you Elevation at a decent price.

Otherwise look at E Bay for CDT (always expensive and a billion options :rolleyes: )

Rainbow, ARC and Im sure there are tons of others!

CDT EF-61CF are a good choice in that budget, you can email me about them if you'd like. Also alot of people are looking at the Rainbows SLC, IIRC. BUt there are many choices out there.

Thanks guys! I can definately fit 5.25" but have to find out about adaptors for 6.5". So for arguement sake i'll choose 5.25" atm.

I've come up with a shortlist..
1. Alpine SPX-137R
2. JL Audio XR525-CSi
3. Elevation Audio Concerts???
4. CDT EF-61CF??? (checking prices on last two)

What do you guys think?????

EF-61CF is a 6.5 speaker, there is no CF cone for the 5.25 EF. I'll reply to your PM after I get 10 posts,lol.
