Colin,
Funny you mention those drivers, I am working on making a budget component set using those drivers with a 2nd order crossover for 60.00 (i hope) depending on the assembly time.
Are you interested in teh crossover design? Measurements look promising and the off-axis response should be quite good as well.
They appear to measure better than some 250.00 component sets i have seen but the real proof will be upon using them in the car.

Hiya Dave. I'd sure like to take a look at the crossover design. You can e-mail it to me at colinmthompson22[remove]@hotmail.com, PM me, or just post it somewhere. 
Are you planning on cutting out the phase shields or leaving them in? I can't decide...

Start with them on, the most likely remove them.

One thing to keep in mind, and I only know this because I asked earlier in this thread, is that anything name brand won't be as good as any of the brands like what you see on PE. Although those will definitely be better than coaxials, and better than stock, they may not be better than the components you were looking before. If you are going to buy those, I would also advise finding them at a local audio store and listening to them. I almost bought some Alpines and went to Car Toys to have a listen and they sounded terrible. I would also think about maybe some JL TR650-CSi's at that price point.
Just my $.02.

On a separate note, I have been trying to find an amp, and can't figure out what kind of power rating I should be looking for. The tweets are rated at 60WRMS, and the woofers at 80WRMS. I was originally going to go for the JBL P80.4 but at 40WRMS per channel, that seems a little weak. Is 40Wx4 sufficient for these speakers or should I look for more power? How much power is too much power for those speakers?

Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific.
