-
- It'll run < $250 for the component set CS 215. It comes with the 5
- 1/4 plus the QM19hc 3/4 inch tweeter plus crossovers. My suggestion is to
- avoid it.
-
- 1) The door mounted 5 1/4 that comes with the set IS NOT the
- regular quart woofer and IS NOT as good as if you bought the seperates.
-
-
- 2) Plus, the tweeters are set up to be placed in the factory
- location for the 3" in the dash. They do not provide proper imaging in that
- location and if you wish to move them at a later date they don't come with
- grills or mounting hardware to surface or flush mount them
-
- Also, I would recommend the QM25 over the 19 or go with the polk
- 1" tweeeter MM3000 $120/pair. The polk is smaller, less expensive and
- sounds better than the QM19 and comes with the parts to flush/surface mount
- the tweeter. it's also easier to mount and would be the best thing for you
-
- The QM 25 will run about $189 a pair plus are only the equal or
- slightly better than the polk
-

- > IMO. In terms of amplifier, just get a good one, PPI, ADS, Pheonix Gold etc.

- ditto
