Good components for $150 to $250

I am looking for a good set of 6.5" components for my coupe. I was looking at a set of MB Quart RSC 216's. Any other recommendations?

well there ALOT...

Better midbass than the MBQ's you mentioned there's JL Audio XR components.. as well as Focal Polyglass. DEI Studio's have shallow mounting depths and very smooth tweeters with good solid midbass.. Diamond Audio M5's have VERY good off-axis response and pretty good midbass.. tweeter has been accused of being a little harsh though.

There's alot more in that price range dude [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

By the way, how well do these components fit in the Civic? I already have spacers now, will that be enough to fit them or will I need to do more? Thanks

Spacers will do..they fit plenty allright..

In that range. I'd look into JL audio XR components or Focal 165V(polyglass) components. The infinity Kappa's are good. But just not the same [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]. If you can find Infinity Perfects in that price range those are quite awesome too.

Thanks Guys, I think I am going to take Mohawk's advice and get the Focal 165V's. Their power rating is perfect for my 4 channel amp.

i wouldnt recommend Diamond audio M5's if you are installing yourself, i have those and it was a big pain in the A$$, they sound great but i dont think its worth all the trouble
