Don (PearlMax) swears by the Arc Audio Flatline subs. They're about $450.

No, he doesn't. He never has. He simply 'showcases' them.

Moreover, Rick isn't even talking about subs!!!

'That car guy' indeed...

Thanks Dan for the clarification.

Rick...Both very nice sets but what exactly are you looking for? Whats your musical preferences? Power that will run them? Two way or three way setup?
Also...both of them are above the $600 mark, especially the Elates..

The budget of 600 is pretty much out the window. I was thinking of a zapco 350.2 and either the elates, lotus, nobelium. Originally i wanted 2 ways but am now considering 3 ways. I like a nice warm tweet thats why im leaning towards tho elates now.

With that in mind then I would Strongly consider the Dyn system 360. The Elates are nice, but will require substantial work to get that midbass going as they tend to like being sealed.

Very cool i was also considering the dynaudios. Do you carry these? If so how much would the three way set be?

Tin snipping points around the OEM mounting hole, pounding and rolling the slats into the door, making an MDF ring, mounting, sealing.
