6.5"

I am upgrading my front stage now. I need a pair of 6.5" coaxial type speakers that sound about as good as a coaxial can. I don't want to make any mods to my doors, so that is why i won't be getting components. They need to play with authority down to 70hz, have a nice smooth mid to high range, and handle around 80-100 rms each. I plan on spending up to $250 on the pair. Any sugguestions?

just looked at some rainbows, what do you guys think of the sound line coaxials?

From what ive heard rainbow is top notch for comps so i would assume that there coax. speakers are good to.

Look on ebay for c/d/t, mb quart, and ive heard good things about diamond and boston acoustics.

You shouldnt have to spend more than 150 for a great set of coaxial speakers, if you look at compnents look into ones that arent flush mount, you can usually mount them from the back of the tweeter so you can put them on your pillars, dash etc.

decided i am going with components, what do you think of these:

anyone know where i might get them cheaper?

Honestly, thats a bit expensive for some component speakers...you could upgrade many more things rather than component speakers for $319, just my opinion though, check ebay.

goin SQL little man. biddin on some cmx265 on ebay now.
New system (in progress):
Alpine CDA 9855
Rainbow components for front stage powered by
Sundown SAX 100.4
12" TC-5200 1 ft^3 sealed powered by
Sundown SAZ 1500d or 2
Some decent but cheap 6X8s for rear fill powered by
either head unit or VR3 4 ch amp

Id go HU before i go vr3 for the rears, as for the rears id say a set of mb quart discus series, ive had mine for a long time and they sound amazing, for 6x9's on the HU.

Actually thats respectable for a set of comps, ive seen them upwards of 1500 for the top of the line ones, i paid 170 for mine, they where new but i got them from someone else offline.

i got these off of ebay:

sounds like bjboertje is turning to the darkside :D

To me it's a natural progression, the problem with ALL bump is .... that's all you have, on most of those systems you can barely hear what they are saying. It's VERY impressive when the sound is crystal clear AND you have deep, authoritative bass.
