RE XXX 6.5"s?

Ok for these speakers...what else would I need? Right now they are selling just the 6.5"...the tweeter and crossover aren't out yet I believe. Here is what someone said you would need:

"An active crossover (or an amp with a bandpassable crossover), and either a dedicated midbass amp or a 4-channel amp with two channels dedicated for the midbass. Then, you'd also need a tweeter to go along with them, and 2 more channels of amplification (either via the extra 2 channels on a 4-channel amp or another 2 channel amp) for the tweets. You'd need to use the active xover to highpass the tweets aswell."

Basically, that doesn't really speak to me. Is it worth getting all that extra stuff just for the XXX's? or should I just get some high end CDT's ?

I believe the price for the xxx's is $179.00 shipped (pair).

You won't really "need" an active crossover for them, although they're nice. You could custom make a passive crossover (capacitors and inductors, good ones, aren't that expensive), or simply buy one based on what tweeter you plan to use.

i dont know, the only reason i would buy them now is because they are on sale for $180. I think im just going to buy some CDT's.

yeah i was thinking the RE series, but I can get the EF-61CFi/25 for 200$ shipped from an authorized dealer. i read somewhere from someone who had the RE comps and the EF-61CFi/25 and they said the EF were a lot better...so thats looking like the best deal irght now.
