not going to be in the same range as focal, herts, hybrid.

Also this would be a nice amp for a set of components. A lot of people have been buying these up, because CT Sounds stopped making them and they discounted them.

Those JBL are pretty much the best performance for the price, and once you get to the upper end of quality components they'll blow em away, but there's almost no other components capable of taking the power they can and sound as good as they do on that power for the price point , just be careful if you go full range on them as they'll tear the surrounds with a ton of power.

full range meaning bass, mids, and highs played though them at once? if that is what you mean, how do I play them "safely?"

Probably setting ur crossovers conservatively, based on the specified "frequency range" given with ur speaker. I think thats what ur asking. If setting crossovers is too much hassle, just get a component set. They come with passive crossovers that are already tuned and setup for the speakers in its component set.

I would suggest you go listen to as many sets as possible. What sounds good to you might not sound good to me. the type of tweeter in the set will make the biggest difference. I prefer silk dome tweeters as they tend to be more laidback, others like a more forward tweeter.

Sundown Audio SA component set is what I am going to try out here in the near future. I have always ran CDT component sets though and I would recommend them all day long. I have never had a bad experience with running CDT equipment ever. Good luck and tell your wife she is cool as shit for saying what she said!!!

You set your low pass at 80hz so it cuts it off from the lower frequencies that cause extreme excursion to the mids.

High Pass Filter at 80 Hz to stop too much bass on your mids and highs.

Low Pass Filter at 80 Hz to stop the mids going to the subwoofer, and let the sub play bass only.

Will vouch for those as being very nice at their price point. Used them in a couple builds and everyone loves them.
