300+ W RMS for fronts...

so if you had 300-340ish watts to throw at a component set for your front stage what would you put in your car?
i'm just looking at the possibility of replacing my front stage.
thanks

I've got a CDT 3-way and I'm throwing (ES-07, ES-4 and DRT-25) and I'm throwing a little over 400W at them (both channels combined).

Sounds great !

I have 320 wrms for CDT DRT-26 Aluminum and 6.5 CDT M6 mids. Not sure if many more speakers are rated to handle that much power, but in the past I have always fed more power to my speakers with amazing results.

e.g. speaker rated 100 wrms, I would give it 150 wrms.

Look up user Ross on this forum. He is CDT dealer. He is from Canada, and I have not found better prices on CDT. He beats everyone out including Ebay. Very good to deal with.

If money is an issue, I suggest you go for regular CDT HD set, as the new set already comes with DRT-25 tweter, the mid pounds loud and clean, and CDT is known for making amazing crossovers. This set would be best bang for the buck.

MTX TXC4.1 and TXC6.0

I run 900 watts to my front end and they take it with no complaints.

Yup, Ross is great to deal with, and it's very unlikely that you'll find higher-end CDT in Canada for less $$.
I'm still shocked that I paid as little as I did for my ES-620s. Ebay wasn't even close....

If you do get CDT, the HD and Eurosport lines are probably your best bet with that kind of power.
