Im looking at replacing the speakers in my car and i am looking at 2 options.
1) Cdt's in the range of $300 (EF 61)
2) A nice set of JL XR653 3 ways.

what are your opinions of these

I have done a search but nothing really has any useful information.

Thanks ahead of time

BTW, the amp used to power them will most likely be a JBL 180.2 so they should have close to 100 watts each going to them

I'd try to find a DLS dealer, I've been happy with my DLS reference series comps since I got them

Hmmmmmmmm, General Chow's Chicken dish is better.... [img]graemlins/deal4u.gif[/img]

Two way is easier to setup "right". Three way is fun and a good way to get around problems "IF" you have such issues. It gives you more options to install the mid range in a "GOOD" location if you are hurting for space/depth/install skills....... and you plunk the midbass driver in the door (most of the time).
