I don't want to mess w/ components at this time. I saw the CDT CL-6x on thezeb and had heard good things about CDT, but some other threads on here downed the CDT CL-6x even in rear-fill applications.

So how are the CDT CL-6x?

 

ive never seen anyone down the cl6x's. i have them in the back and they are great for rear fill, especially at the price. however, i highly recommend you mess with components, aka the cl61a's. its not that hard but its def. worth it.

 

I have had tons of component sets in the past, in the max and in other vehicles. I just hate fooling with the aiming and all, b/c if not properly aimed, you might as well just have coaxials.

 

this is true. but what about the a pillar? in my 2k2 i have them there and the imaging is good imo.

 

Not many brands of speakers (components, that is) have tweeters that will fit in that OEM Bose location.

So BTT- what do people think of those CDTs as a prospective front-stage speaker?

 

i dont know how the bose location is but mine fit perfectly in there. im guessing as long as the tweeter is 3/4 it wil fit. but anyway, what about getting the cl6x's, putting them in the front, and if you dont like them, throw em in the back?

 

I need to measure the stock location when I swap "A" pillars. Good point on moving them to the back if I don't like them.

How many wats do the coaxials need to sound good? How about the components?

 

well the coaxes are 40 watts rms and i have them off the h/u in the back and they sound good. i also have the components off the h/u and they sound good, but not much midbass but my bass would make the midbass hardly audible anyway. cdt says all the cl61's need are 40-50 watts even though the rms is 90.
