I feel like this topic might deserve its own thread, but here goes anyway. It is going to be hard to recommend something without a budget in mind, and knowing exactly what you are going for. Personally, I think you are going about your system backwards, but I am a SQ guy so if you are going for loudness, you might be okay. If you were to ask me, most people should be spending more on mids and highs and less on subs than everyone thinks, but you say that you will spend the opposite, which is why it would help to know what you are going for. I spent more than 600 on my 3-way fronts alone and they were used, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Actually come to think of it, I would rather run those well-amped than skimp and run crappier mids/highs just to have a sub, because the 8's in my doors can handle enough midbass. Once you hear how good mids and highs can really sound, it is hard to go back to crappy equipment. So like I said, this might deserve its own thread because this one doesn't seem to be going anywhere, but Matt's post explained why that is.
