For a car of that size,I would suggest upping the high frequency output from 5.25 inch to 6..5's or possibly doing a pair of 6x9 with 6.5's. If you're gonna have at least 2 12's in your car then you're gonna want to even the highs out The audio store that I worked at did not sell the MB quartz line, but I have seen really nice systems worked out with the Kicker Solobaric series as well as the Rockford Fosgate competition series. For your mids and highs, the Inifinity Kappa series as well as the eclipse line will give you excellent clarity and are pretty durable. They're a bit more expensive than the rest,but will last much longer.

A reason you might be getting shitty midbass with your components could be that you're not giving them enough power, that or you just need to tune your system better.


On a side note...I would recommend looking into some home audio mids. A friend of mine went from a set of $700 Rainbow components to some $30 home audio mids and they blow the Rainbows away. You just have to know what you're doing and have decent crossovers because home audio speakers can be picky. I'll see if I can't find out what brand he got if you're interested.

Ya let me know. I'm all for saving money, I just want to have very loud and clear highs/mids.
