Whats seems to be the most popular component set in contours? I'm looking for the cleanest sound for under $200 (just for front stage no rear fill). They need to play down to ~125hz and handle about 35-70 watts RMS preferably (i have a small 2 channel crossfire amp(35w X2 @4ohm 70x2 2ohm)). Also, what is the best place to mount the tweeters? I'll probably get an adapter baffle for the 6.5" components in the stock door speaker location, but the tweeters would still need to mounted separately. I was thinking mount it in the little triangles on the inside of the door behind the side mirrors....Qforms are out of the question unless i can get them cheap, i also don't like the idea of giving precious up leg room. I'm a big guy and need all the room i can get to be comfortable

i asked the same question a while ago, and the guys helped me come up with a system. vifa tweets, peerless mids, soundstream crossover. parts express has all the stuff. let me know if you want links. ~ 160 bucks, plus shipping.
now officially a troll, i guess. used to have a black 96 SE, until it broke down one too many times.
now I'm hunting for a motorycle.

I did the same thing with some Vifa tweets, Vifa mids, and some Soundstream Exact crossovers. Total cost was about $150, and (IMO) the sound can't be beat for less than a few hundred bucks with the brand name stuff.

Don't seem bad, but I wouldn't use them without a good passive x-over. But, I think you could do better with that kind of money ($100 PG components + $30 x-overs = $130 + shipping).
