bump cuz I'm impatient... lol

Alright, so here we go.. I want to upgrade my front stage while waiting on the Icon sub I have coming sometime this month.(already ordered) What I want to do it get rid of my Alpine 6x9s I have in the front doors and eliminate that horrid speaker the factory Toyota calls a "tweeter" ... I've somewhat bugged //M5 already and instead of continuing to fill his inbox I will give the SSA community a chance to jump in.. So I had found this chart: http://www.listenhear.co.uk/general_acoustics.htm I asked //M5 and he already stated that it is a decent chart but needs somewhat more range. So what my goal is and obviously this could be the wrong way in approaching it, but I hope to purchase some components that can cover almost a majority of that range without breaking the bank or windows.. I am only looking for it to be loud inside my vehicle and to be able to keep volume loudness with the Icon I will be installing soon hopefully. Info: 1. My budget as far as the set goes is $200 - $250. $300 means I need to get a better present for the lady for Xmas so lets keep it at $250. 2. a. I will be mounting the set in my doors with some modification to the skin(sheet metal that the door panel mounts onto) in order to get them in properly. b. If it will be somewhat better for imaging to mount higher in the door panel or dash let me know how well that works with keeping the mid inside the door cuz I have heard a few negatives about putting distance(more that 6-8 inches) between the tweet and mid... 3. I will continue to use my current amp, a Kenwood 60x4 cheapy(but solid built) but I am also looking into the Crescendo 1000C4. 4. This is going into a 2003 Toyota Camry. The sets I have looked into were: (these are in order of what I'm leaning towards) 1. CDT CL-61A.2-25 PRO @ $169 Reasons: It is actually under the $200 range, runs at 2ohms which will pull a little more juice from any amp I use, and has a glorious 3yr warranty which feels kinda nice. 2. Image Dynamics CTX65CS @ $189 Reasons: Heard alot of great things about build quality and sound quality, price of course is great for me, and power seems to be somewhat on par with the CDTs. 3. DLS MS5A @ $219 Reasons: Older buddy of mine who is into home audio has a few sets of bookshelfs and towers which sounded amazing and one set, the Ultimate series which I don't really want to spend the money on. Anyway, they sounded really good but again I think he paid $400 for his particular set. Side note: I was thinking about being ghetto and just throwing tweets in the dash and leaving the Alpine 6x9s in the doors just to give some better extension which I know is WRONG but I was thinking this. Luckily I take too long and think too much to just ghetto rig things up.. Help me SSA!!! I want my car to sound better. p.s. - If you have other equivalent or better recommendations then please give them to me. I am all ears and could care less about doing more research.

welcome sir!

Hmm... Just a quick question... a few days ago I upgraded the Alt to Batt+ ... and the Batt- to chassis ... Couldn't really figure which was right.. I kept reading the 3rd to be engine block to chassis... Is it the mount bolt for the Alt actually that? I'm confuzzled atm... Also, if I don't upgrade that last one, how bad is that?

Then we are like the movie twins, he is nice I am an arseho. lmfao... you got it bro.. lol

nice setup... !

May God bless you and your family.. He has a plan for us all..

thanks for clearing that up.... Impious is //M5's other half.... at least thats how I see it... lol

wow really??? then I am in the same boat I guess... .. i need bass!

I decided i'm just going to stick with AA Carbons and some Seas tweeters I see fiberglass in the near future! Fuck everyone who doubts me haha Nice Signature by the way!!!! "baby amp" thats awesome. Yea that's all your fault.. I ain't too happy about it either... lol

I could be reading this all wrong but I was looking on madisound and found these... : https://www.madisound.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=45_248&products_id=90 Not sure if this is totally what you want to go for or even if it will work, but if I understood what I read from //M5 then I think this might be right...

i like the alternating angles for the 6x9s ... best part.. lol

again... very nice setup...

FTW!!!

hottness!

Madisound.com

silk is smoother.... The hard/metal composites as far as I know give off the harsher sounds ... at least with my aluminum tweeter set it did....

darvex and parts express have alot of wiring and extras... check them out...

sounds like a really good idea... I never win anything though... I fail @ life... lol

It was opposite... ex's didn't want to stay ex's ... so they were harassing.. anyway, yea that is why there is no facebook in my life... life has taken the fun out of the internet... lulz

bump because I'm curious as well.. Been looking into CDT and would like first hand impressions or opinions.... Help this guys out fellas!

nice... I ended up going straight for Icon because I didn't want to have the feeling of wanting more after purchasing the Dcon... I want more pics btw . Get on it!!!!

nice one man... like the hang time..

associated drama which is unavoidable because people take the website too serious and actually care about it like it is special... I think its cool if you use it to get some skin and check on family and friends... I had it for a few months but within that time period I had many people I did not want to contact so I did not add them. Then received messages about why and had to deal with a mess of ex girlfriends who found me and the current one being upset that I wouldn't use it to write to her... So I hit delete and smiled more everyday that I don't have it...

this is always a great way to get the name/brand out there to the public... it's too badd I forbid myself from using that vile website otherwise I'd rep SSA and friend you guys...
