looking to spend $450 or less. currently, im looking at the cdt audio es-62i or the re audio xxx components. i know these components sell for a lot more but there are places online that are offering deals on them. i have a 200watt eclipse amp (willing to upgrade if necessary). im looking for a set that will go well with 2 ported 12s (like fi q or icons) that will be either powered with 1500watts or 2500watts. i dont have any access to listen to different components so i have to decide from experiences people have online. if you recommend other components, please post them as well. appreciate the help!

Best is subjective and you didn't say anything about your preferences. Personally I don't like either set you are looking at one bit.

not sure how to go about stating preferences, i want nice, clear, crisp sound with a good midbass. mostly listen to rap/hip hop but want mids and highs that can keep up with my 12s whether i decide to power them at 1500watts or 2500watts. the amp i currently have for the mids and highs is the eclipse 3422, but willing to upgrade if necessary, hope this helps.

what components would you recommend?

You don't want my recommendations as our listening preferences are on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Nothing is going to "keep up" with what you are using for subs, not in a musical sort of way. If by keep up you mean hear the words well you can pretty much use anything just keep turning up the HP. *gags
