Opinions on good budget 6.5s


Recommended Posts

I'm looking to upgrade my front 6.5 stage with something else. I am currently running Cadence 4 ohm 60 watt 6.5s. I'm looking for more power than that, atleast 75 watts rms per or more. They'll either be running off a Hifonics 500.2 or a Hifonics 600.4 I haven't made up my mind just yet on the amp to use. My budget is maxed at about 100 per set. The subs are just 2 10" Skar IVXs.

I like the infinity refrence 6030cs line. Amazon has them for around $100 bucks shipped. The tweeters are a touch bright but nothing too bad. Plus the read 3.2 ohms so you get some extra power from your amp. They play loud too.

No Sir ... I'm running 150 watts plus (each) to a pair of 6.5" Blues Car Audio Drivers ... I will be soon upgrading that to 250 watts per channel ...

no, they are rated 90 watts, I'm giving them more than that and they take it fine. I'm not talking about the coaxials i'm talking about the components.
