Looking for some nice mids and highs

[DylanH]

too many speakers make a confusing sound stage. one good 3way set will do about anything you need.

Would I be able to do 4 6.5's and 4 1" tweeters? or will the 6.5's do?

its all up to you and what you want man. you only have a pair of type r's to keep up with so i would say your going way overkill. to me, when i want loud i only care about the subs. when i want loud SQ i turn the subs down to a balanced level. but then again the MECA guys have brainwashed me to think like that now.

remember with all these speakers, they all need crossovers. going active would be the easier and probably cheapest way. not to mention it's the best way to go lol. your mids will need to be bandpassed, your midbass will need to be bandpassed as well but that can be done with a lowpass crossover and setting the HPF on the hu, or the amp. then the high pass for tweeters.

im curious, how much do you think your idea will cost you? speakers, crossovers, and amps? what kind of stuff are you looking at?

[DylanH]

Okay, so appearently this is alot more confusing than I thought lol. My plan was to get like 4 6.5's and running them off an amp. I didn't know I would need crossovers and all that.

I got 2 sets of the RE's for 200 from Audiosavings.com they don't need a lot of power to sound great. And besides 4 mids & tweets are better then 2 for the money.

well think about it, if you just put them on the amp they will get a full range. you dont want them trying to play 6,000hz-20,000hz do you? you can get a 3way crossover for less than $150. lanzar makes one that will do what you need.

define better. louder?

i can tell you it wont be better SQ, better sound stage, or better imaging.

Okay, so you put RCA's from headunit to crossover then from crossover to amp right?

Also what are some good 6.5's that will handle 50-100rms

My link

hope this link works its for soundstream pro components my friend is a soundstream dealer and he has installed quite a few of the pro components set in cars and I love how they sound your lookin around 380 for mids and tweets no crossover meant to run active or if you can find a cross over or have one built or use an amps or the radio's

CDT audio components PWN.

Just got my cdt comps in. Haven't hooked em up yet, but they look impressive. Two sets of 842 and a set of 642. They have excellent prices, customer service, etc.

Soundstream SST6.9

I like soundstream speakers cuz they are 3ohm, and then i get more power out of my amp

Edit:

I like the tarantula series speakers

I have these, they are good. Recommend as well.
