Active 2-way front Suggestions

Here is what Im looking to do for my front stage in the next little while and was just looking for some opinions. I'm either going with these for woofers http://www.mach5audio.com/zen/index....roducts_id=183 or these http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=296-600 and these tweets http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=264-555 or maybe these due to their great off axsis response and cheaper http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=264-865. What setup would you think is the best ?

From my previous experience with solen is that they are over priced and rarely keep anything in stock. Every time I order I have to wait, I'm not much of a waiter.

I checked on Solen and you guys were right some of the prices are better, but I still don't know what opinions are on the equipment I have listed. Any suggestions?

I fixed all your links..

Both of the woofers are midbass drivers IMO and better suited for a 3way setup.

Both of those tweeters are decent.

I dunno, I know the Usher says it can do 8k but I have a hard time considering a 7" driver that high up.

Plus it would be a bear to install anywhere a midrange should be installed (KP, dash) but can live happily in a door as a midbass in a 3way setup.

Just my reasoning.
