However, IF i decided to go the component route what would you suggest as really good components at a good price like the Crystal 5X7's are?




Do a search for "custom components".

Should I stay w/ the Crystal brand? What size works best in the doors? The Crystal cSc model seems to be a good quality component. Any takes on it?



It's your money, so it's up to you. I've never heard the Crystal components, which are likely very good speakers.

I think I want to stay w/ the silk dome tweet and 2-way set up(remember hearing anything over 2-way is a wasite) also a set that comes w/ a crossover is a must.



I'd agree.

If i did go this route Im sure I would definatly need to run an amp to the componenets for them to sound good since they for the most part require and can handle more wattage.

Any tips or suggestions are welcome



4ch amp - run some components of your choice and bridge the rears to a single sub.
