Looking for entry level (say up to $500) 5.25" (maybe 6") components, with sweet tweeter and a bassy mid - any experiences?

They'll be seeing around 80-90wrms a side :D

TIA....

Around this price ($500) people will always suggest the Boston Acoustics Rally or Focal (not sure which model though)

Rally's don't exist anymore, they have a NEW range to replace the Rally's which are now known as SL, very very nice might I add...

the morels are quite punchy... that'd be my recommendation...
the Hertz HSK's also have plenty of midbass, and they're well under your budget!

Have a look at the Rainbow Kickbass ones - heard them the other day and was very impressed! For $500 they sounded like $1000 speakers!!! The silk dome was sweet as, very mellow and warm. The kickbass attacked with some serious force.

Give them a go.

Our 6.5 is now available in a componet set, at $599.

They deliver incredible mid-bass, ask Marc, he auditioned a set in his car and was impressed.

I'll need some lov'n from a sledge hammer on my doors to fit the 6.5"ers, I'm looking for a factory finish so they got to stay behind the standard EK civic grilles (oh and I ain't go the funds to do too much modification / custom work)...

the AVI misd that DJ2NV uses are great. they're a meaty 5.25"
not suer about the tweeters, cause i haven't heard them, but i'd be surprised if they will disappoint.

oh, and i'm not sure about the price, but i'm pretty sure they'll be within your budget, perhaps even the next model up will be too!
