Which components would you get for the most SQ + loudness?

Diamond Audio HEX D651

Infinity Perfect 5.1

MB Quart QSC-213

Focal 130 A1

Rainbow SLX 230 deluxe

Rainbow SLC 230

(all range from approx. $150-250)

please give any other suggestions you have for SQ components (5.25")

I have a 02 Ford Explorer, and the best pair will go in the front!

i pick rainbow SLC 230 due to superior tweeter

infinity and mb should be scratched from the list on basis of they all sound like shit, IMO. the diamonds i like, i've not heard the rainbows. i hated my focals after awhile. they are like jl in a sense, your really buying a name, not necessarily a speaker. personal preferance? either memphis msync or sq 5.25s ( the sqs are silk tweeters, crossover allows for biamping and are componet only. the syncs allow coaxil mounting, titanium tweeter and the crossover is single amp only) or the kicker ss stuff.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i like the focal's midrange...very detailed and clear, but the tweeter sux balls

rainbow or diy

I'd make a 6.5/7 fit. If you do 5.25 I'd do a diy set.

I have a few pair of MB Quart PCE 160's (6.5) I'd be willing to let go. NO tweet though if that's the way you want to go.
