Recommendations on front stage

[05flareside]

I've got a 2005 regular cab f150 with a high performance PSI Platform 2 12 in right at 3 cubes and currently have crappy mids and highs now. I would like to have mids and highs that can keep up (also have good SQ) and wasn't sure to go with a pro audio style or component sets. I plan on getting an amp to power them as well and budget for the amp would be around 300 and around $200 for the mids and highs

Are you good with fiberglassing? Look into 3way comps..glass tweeter and mid in a-pillar..all you need is a nice 2 channel amp you can find those fairly cheap.

I picked up some PPI 3 way comps for 235.00..haven't heard them but a member here recommends them for the price.kingsuv his name.He is a sq guy..

Decent pair of components would keep up no dramas...... throw as much pwr to them as you can , and tune from there

I've never done anything with fiberglass myself, but have helped some with non audio projects (patching a boat) and thank you both for the responses.

Also I will look into the 3 way component sets

go with crescendo or ct sounds highs and mids

If you just want your mids/highs to keep up, then go with pro audio gear like Crescendo PWX/FT1, stuff like that will def get loud. But if you want better sound quality, sometimes at the cost of a little loudness (not always though) get a component set. I wouldn't bother with a 3 way component unless you want to reallyyy make a decent sq setup, but that also takes more time/knowledge to do.

I see a lot of 3way that are not sq..mine is 3way no were near a sq build .but sounds really good and gets loud...

or any of the other hundreds of brands out there. personally I wouldn't use either of those.

For his price range there are not a ton of options though. I mean maybe a pair of JBL comps or somthing but $200 bucks for mids/highs won't get you much more.

For your application ...

In that particular truck you would be good to have a 6.5" coax driver in each door location with some good sound deadning and strong 2 channel amplifier ... Your drivers should be high enough to where external tweeters would not be needed.
