I've been looking at the JL's and the cheapest I've found is $320. If they were about a 100 cheaper I'd be all over them.

The tuff part here is ---
Its like sayin - I want the Ferrari but as long as its the same price as the Geo next to it ..
Good stuff isnt always cheap...
Most 3 ways - We do DiamondAudio - Are in the $599 -$699 range if they are of any good quality.
I ve done LOTS of Vettes C5 /C6 with 3 ways - 6-5-1 or most commonly 6-4-1
They Always rock ...
but are in this price range --
Good luck in the hunt for an under $300 3 way set ..

you can't afford an extra $20 for some great speakers.You are driving a car with a $50,000 dollar sticker price. I'm sure you are paying some serious $ for tags and insurance too. I read your replies in this forum many times and agree with most, yet this post has me

they do make a q-form kick panel for that truck. You can fit a 5.25" and tweeter in there and get your best imagining possible. You can get them for less than $150. No hacking into you doors then. You can also run the orignal 4" at a lower volume for added stage height. A pair of good 5.25" componets can be had for $150.
Just an opitional idea for ya

I was gonna get the kickpanels, that's why I was thinking 3 ways, and use the 4" mid in the stock location. I never thought of a 2-way then using the full range 4" off the HU. Sounds like a plan to me

What do you think of the Diamond Audio M651 ?

CBRstereo and ebay have them for around $150.

that would be nice...
but I don't think you will need the 4" speakers anymore.
They are going to stomp all over the output of those drivers.
Good 3-ways have crossovers to control things like that.
I have 3-ways in my 92 vette... 6" mid bass in the kicks (so to speak), 4" mids in the doors and 1" tweets in the doors... and yes, it's seriously custom!!! True 3-ways are the only way to fly!
