onlinecarstereo.com has the JL XR 2-way 6.5" Components for $269 shipped right now. Do you think I should pick these up or get something else? It seems like a pretty good deal to me. Let me know, Thanks.

it's a decent price....their the same price at woofers etc as well..

Don't go by prices...find the components you actually want..then price shop for them..

Well I went to the audio store and i liked these and the boston acoustics compenents the best but i have heard bad things about the bostons. Would it be worth it to get the 3 way ones instead?

the JL's or Bostons..the bostons are great..but the tweeter can be downright harsh at times..the JL's are very good as well..and have more midbass punch..

Also, and I know this stuff has been covered many times before but I can't seem to find it.

For these components that are rated at 70 W continuous, do I need a 2 channel amp that puts out 70 W @ 4 ohm?

Also, what does everyone do with their rear speakers? What should I look for. I want SQ but not so much that I am worrying about doing custom panels and stuff like that. What type of speaker should I get for the back? I have a coupe.

get the JL audio VR components for the rear get a good 50+ Wrmsx4 amp and use your fader to set your front-rear stage...

If you like the boston accoustic speakers, I would take a gander at some mb quart components. You can get the PSD 6.5" component set off ebay for around $230 shipped. You could go with the mb quart qm 6.5" components for around $360 shipped.

MBQ has won numerous awards for quality throughout the years. The only bad thing, which is really personal preference, is the tweeters can get a little harsh at high volumes. Like I said, if you like the bostons, I think you would be very happy with the quarts.

How can i put components in the back? There is only room for a 6x9 unless there is a special holder i can buy or something.

I saw a plate that turns a space for 6x9s into a place for components but concentrate on the front first. Many competition systems don't even have rear speakers.

Get a nice set of components for the front. Wait a little longer and get a nice set. If you want to put something in the back, get a sub.

no. people have given XR's up to and over 200 watts RMS and been fine. this is not to say that YOU can do the same, i can tell you EXTREEME caution was taken to ensure the signal had perfect clarity to it, which may not be an option for you.

but yes, a 50x2 amp is more than enough for these speakers, and even sound pretty decent of head unit power. but dont think they cant handle 100+ power, theyd love it (clean)

I should be looking at the 4 ohm rating though, right?

4 ohm fronts, 4 ohm rears, 4 ohm sub, 4 ohm amp. Yes.
