Suggestions Please On 6 1/2" Convertible Components

[Nightshade]

Anyone out there have any suggestions on some of these types of components? For those of you that don't know a convertible component is a component system that can be converted to a coaxial. Or it offers a bridge that allows the tweeter to be placed over the woofer. I have one in mind that I'm looking into and it's the Alpine Type X model SPX-17ref 6 1/2". They are a step down from the top of the line Alpine Type X pro's, but none the less look to be a good component for the price too. I've owned MB Quart Reference 6 1/2 convertible's and they are nice, but I want to try something different. Please list any that you know of and how well they perform. I can get the Alpine's from a local shop for $200 so I don't want to go over that price.

I was thinking boston pro's but they're a bit out of your price range, not many companies make convertables, the offer coax and component, the companies that do only offer the convertable in that series usually. Good luck finding a set, update us with what you get.

Companies that make convertibles that I know of are MB Quart, Alpine, CDT, Boston, Kicker, and Rockford. I'm kind of leaning towards the Alpine's cause they look badass and I'm sure they sound as good as they look. But in the back of my mind I'm kind of thinking the CDT's. I have locations for 6 1/2 in the doors and I plan on adding a 4" component in the A pillars in the future too. I have a 4 channel that I'm only using 2 channels of so that's why i want to do 4's too, so I can use the other 2 channels and also bring up the sound stage.
