Components

I need a new set of components. I don't know if it matters, but the head unit is pioneer dvh-p7000, and I won't be pushing them thru the external amp any time soon if ever. Amount of money that I'm willing to spend is $200. What could I get that won't dissapoint me?

ok first off you do need components if you don't have them. regardless of what anyone says, components are a MUST. and so is an amp, you really won't appreciate new speakers and/or your purchase if you use hu power. save up for a cheap 4 ch or 2ch if you only want new fronts...

CKOTuHA, if you put a little more I will sell you my new set of Eclipse SC8263 Components. They are 6.5 with tweets and X-Over (obviously). I bought an extra set for my Q-Logic kick's but they dont fit. These sell normally for around $400. PM me if you are interested and we maybe able to work something out.

Those are good speakers, however understand that DA does not warranty inernet products, so the warranty they are providing is as good as none!

Eclipse is a good brand. I dont know about their components. My criteria for speakers were that it had to be full, and there werent gaps between sound. As in, tweeters werent too high and tinny, and there had to be a reasonable amount of midbass. Eclipse in general is a pretty high level brand.

My speakers sounds great, and aren't too expensive. Just like a few people mentioned.
