Recommendations for 6.5" Component Set for about $250

Can someone recommend a good set of 6.5" components for about $250 for my friend. He has a nissan sentra with only 2 1/4" depth clearance in his front doors.

He also wants a set of rear coaxs to match his front components.

He also needs a small amp to power these speakers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Guys!

Re: Recommendations for 6.5" Component Set for about $250

A good set of components to check out teh new Infinity Kappa 60.3cs mounting depth is 2 1/16" so they should fit. The matching coax's would be the 62.3i's. Another option from Infinity that's a little less expensive are the Reference components 605cs and 652i is the matching coax. Both sets have rotating tweeter on coax sets. To check the specs go to http://www.infinitysystems.com/caraudio/products.asp What type of amp is he running, how much power is it putting out?

Second vote on Infinity systems.

Call me picky, but if you go get Infinity components and coaxials pair it up with a Harman Kardon amp or a JBL amp. They're all owned by Harman so chances are they're a better match.

Then again that's just me

If you get the JBL amp. Choose the JBL 80.4. Should be pretty cheap at Yahoo shopping.

I can only suggest where to find a good deal on Infinity Kappas components: check the ebay, there's one company that sells brand new sets for 159.99+15.00 shipping, you can not beat that!
