If you want to go passive a car audio comp set is probably a good idea unless you are ready, or have a friend who is ready to make a passive. I made a passive for my current active/ passive set up and I am pretty pleased but there is a lot of homework for a proper design.

yeah, any "best of" regarding components has to have Morels and Focals at least mentioned. Quite frankly, the new JBL 660gti are damn fantastic and the price keeps dropping...seen them for 799.00 now..initially they were close to 2G's, that's got to put them on the list of great comps for the money now. I'm saving my pennies as we speak, was going to go Morel supremo but at over 800.00 cheaper (US online prices) the JBL's are looking better and better.

The website has 4 different "Best Comp" catagories.

I believe PPI has stopped making the 356CS.

Hi guys, I am new to car audio. I have been purchasing lots of consumer speakers from crutch field, and i keep sending them back... long story short i have a pdx 5 amp, a p3d412 sub and no speakers currently. The amp is rated at 75 watts rms to four channels or 150 bridged. i have been looking at all the brands mentioned here ( dls, rainbow etc.)and i just happen to stumble across this thread! I am very interested in using home audio speakers in my car! I am hoping that one of you guru's will help me out with what to buy... woofers, tweeters, cross overs and placement. I am hoping to fabricate some adapters for the woofers and get them into my chevy malibu. As far as i know, the pdx 5 requires the speakers to be 2-4 ohms. and from what i could tell the ones listed above were 8 ohms.

I can see this is an older thread, so i will start a new on the topic. Any assistance would be SOOOOOOO APPRECIATED!!!!!!! I can't stand driving my car with out music, so i am hoping someone can help me get a game plan together asap.

My background with audio reproduction is mostly studio monitors, but i do have a set of polk rti6's (which i like the sound of). I only started this project to get my car to sound a little more like the various speakers/ monitors i use at home on a daily basis.

HOPEFUL SETUP:
- a set of 2-ways in the front stage @ 150 rms each
OR
- a set of 2 ways in both the front and rear at 75 watts rms each

Thanks in Advance car audio guru's!!!!!!

PS if I have missed any details, let me know and i will fill in the blanks ASAP

I'm pretty happy with my Morels so far, And they are not even amped yet... So that tells you something.

They are especially good for string music, They are very warm and give you a live feeling of music.

The Tempo series are 120watts RMS and my HU is probably only giving them 18watts per channel.

And they are a passive setup.
