I have registered here more than a year ago and this may be my first post (I really have no idea). I am over at ecoustics and Fishy has said good things about CAC, specially for speaker help.

I am finally looking to spend my money on a nice component set. I want a 6.5" 2-way set with a silk tweeter. I have a US Amps md-22 which puts out 200w @ 4ohms. I can always turn down the gain a bit if needed. I have a 12" Fi Q which is going to be ported @ 32hz and I want a nice set to compliment and keep up with the Q. I have a $300 budget, but can scrap together a bit more (~$50) if really worth it, but let's just go with I have a $300 budget.

I have looked into the Rainbow SLC 265 regular, kicks, and Boston Pro60s. I am still very lost on what to get though. Can anyone help recomend?

might want to check out the fusion powerplant series or nv series, jbl has some nice stuff....of course there is always quart and jl audio xr series....

Yeah I would sugest the JL XRs, but I don't know if he would like the tweeter.

But they are one heck of a bang for your buck component set.

Or you can do a set of Brazox Kevlars. I FINALLY got my friend over so we could install his, and was VERY impressed for the price. Put them in a well dampened door, and they have a ton of mid range output.

That's Bravox you mean :)
I have the 5.25s in my doors. They don't do bad at all. You'll need an EQ to get the midbass out at decent levels but it handles. I think having them more on-axis would really help the sound though.

CDT EF or HD series.

Them Bostons look alright, pricey. Some on E bay selling for $150 mark.

The JL XRs are always a possibility as mentioned. I hear they are pretty damned good set.

ARC audio is always decent.

With the Rainbow, I think you need to pay a bit more (go up more levels) to start getting really what you paid for. So I would pass on them.

yea i wasnt thinking about the tweet on the jl set.....although they are a very good sounding set........im still in love with the fusion powerplant comps

So which one of these sets can handle 150-200rms?

Any other suggestions? I really want the CDT hd series but they are a little to pricey, maybe if I found them used somewhere..
