i'm at a point where i need new speakers. i need suggestions for 6.5" coax speakers. i've heard good things about the JBL power series. i currently have cerwin vega stealth series 5.25" which will replace my JBL 6x9s in the back.
if it helps any, i'll be powering the new speakers with a rockford fosgate 250a2 (90x2).
i'm looking to spend under $130 for the pair.

thanks

i had some image dynamics ctx6 and they sounded pretty good.

 

price?

 

Go to www.madisound.com and check out the phase coherent coaxials made by Vifa and Seas. I think the Seas units are better because they use silk dome tweaters. You will want to verify that the driver Qts is suitable for door installation as well and you will need a x-over. For the money, these drivers should sound better and be better constructed than a typical mainstream coaxial autosound driver. Vifa and Seas manufacture high end drivers for speaker companies all around the world.

 

$80 a pair

Maximadave sells them

you won't be disappointed

 

RMS rating? max power? hows the midbass? the highs are simple to clear out, its tougher to find a good midbass coax that i can afford.
also, maximadave, what would the shipping for these be to RI?
if it helps any, i'd be powering these with a rockford fosgate 250a2 getting its signal from a pioneer premier DEH-P630. also, since i'd be gettin 2 pairs of these, the rears would be run of the deck (50x4 max. i think its like 20 RMS)

 

it handles 40 watts RMS. the main reason i got these is b/c they are so efficient, sensitivty of 97db.

they are a lot more pleasing to the ear than my previous components.

check out the eclipse website for more info

 

The 250a2 is rated at 62.5 x 2. If it is as underrated as older RF amps, it will probably put out around 120 x 2.

 

the quality of rf amp now is not as "up to par" as it use to...it's still good enuff to kick alot of other amps around...i think the cutoff point was with the silver and gold series....but like i said...rf amp still kicks alot of a$$ tho...

 

that'd be nice if it is. i bought it last october(2000), its one of the older looking ones (which i prefer). we'll see as soon as i get some money....stupid clutch...
