Question Resonant Engineering Components?

So here's the deal, I have 1 RE 12 XXX and a USA amps AX-3200DE and I plan on getting one more of each. I was looking at my mid-bass and tweeters and I'm thinkin' about going with RE XXX components as well. I know they are expensive but I just wanted to kind of have a 'matching' system, more for looks than anything else. I was planning on getting 4 6.5"s and 4 tweeters, Then I would have 2 subs as well. I was wondering if anyone had used the RE components or had any feedback on them?

Thanks for the help!
Scott

well i was thinking about getting the RE components too... just to find out that they wont fit in my car which sux! but anyways, ive heard/read/watched alot of things on the components and their suppose to be simply amazing... you can watch a few videos on youtube and see for yourself, they are very efficent, wont blow up even if u send 2x the rms and run it constant, the bass etc everything is just very good. its like how they say, you get wut u pay for! and also, i had qs! with that re 12 XXX u have and US3200amp, how much power r u sending to that sub? and what kind of alternator/batteries u have? thanks!

I've only had the sub hooked up for 2 days now, the sub is getting 2k RMS at 2 ohm. It is MIND SHATTERING! I'm running 1 auxillary battery, a 200 amp alternator, and a 3 farad cap.

Hey guys. Since no one mentioned it, and I missed it when I was looking for mids, the XXX comps are 2 ohm, not the usual 4 ohm on most comps. Thats the main idea behind these speakers, draw all the power out of the amp!!

I want em too
