AudioQue SDC2.5 series. the 10 is 129 the 12 is 139 and the 15 is 159, just under your 160 tag. Ive heard their HDC line and if the SDC line is half of the quality of the HDC line as far as build quality, they are best bang for the buck.

woman..cant live with em...cant shoot em...guess were all fucked
