out of them id personaly go for the black airs, you are amping them ye?

[OvEr_KiLL]

mate how much you prepared to spend?

[Sati_007]

my buget is tight £100 for 2pairs of comps...

yep they will be amp'd ...want to get the comps then get an amp to power them. ive got a huge 4ch amp but anit got space to mount it as its the same size as my D5000! might get an alpine V12 T505 to run these.

[alje]

I've got the black air 5 components, not overly happy with them so in the process of changing over to DLS RM6.2

[Sati_007]

i had 5" comps and just had no mid bass at all..so 4x6.5 sholud have som kick ...thansk for the veiw any way it all helps...will have a listen to them and see...how about JBL and fusion

[Ian@BeastBoxes]

mate ive got a set of those 6.5 blackairs if you wanna hear them first they are not installed but could do a quick install in the mk4 if you gave me a hand?

[volxstu]

Do you have to use 4 mids? A single good set will be able to handle similar power and have similar output. Especially if you go second hand.

[Sati_007]

well i have heard lots of single set ups and they dont get lould enough or have enough midbass ...i have ready started making the pods for 2 mid a side..and with 2x15's in the back its seems like a must have.

DjUPLIFT:
the mk4 is quite diffrent to the mk2 doors...i installed a set of 6.5 alpine type-e in sis car running of the headuint and they sound good..even the Stock speakers amp'd have afair amount of bass....Thanks For the Offer tho mate.

[volxstu]

Ha ha the good old point of no return.
I will be using 360w RMS on each of my Morel Elate mids. The most i have put through them before now is about 150w and they were good for keeping up with around 140 db of sub bass.

[Sati_007]

lol ..i know went from pair of 6.5" 20wrms ported and now at 2x15" 2.5krms ported...same with the engine from an 1.3 carb to an 2.8 vr6! lol if your doing to do somthing might aswell overdo it the frist time around.

[volxstu]

Not that i will be using the whole power as i am only using a little 10" sub this time round. Its more for SQ so i have plenty of head room on the Gain but still the mid bass will be intense.

[Sati_007]

found some 6.5" sub's on ebay claim to play down to 35hz! a pair for under £30
rated at 125wrms..but there 8ohms so will give 4ohms per side.

^^^ those are abolutely Shyte. Iv hears better sounding farts lol

[graine]

I've got SEK-60 (kinda in-between the 2 shown here) Vibe CBR12 sub(no longer active) and Vibe 4awg cable but I can assure you that Vibe will not be getting another penny from me. (If that helps!)
Something from the classifieds here, thats your best bet and when i've got some money together for a couple of nice 12" JL subs, thats exactly where i'll be looking!!

[owens130]

I had some vibe comps a few years ago and wasn't happy with them, the tweets were far to harsh and no midbass and they were amped @ 100w rms and the doors were fully deadened.
I'm now running a set of cheap ( cost me £5 second hand) JBL comps and they are fantastic in comparison and a set of matching 5" comps and they keep up with my 2x 12's

[Brill-Edwards]

2 sets of these would do you pretty well
http://caraudiosecur...s_id/10235.html
and fit in with your budget
also they come with all the wiring necessary - very handy
if you want to see some pics - I put them in a friends car

[lol4fun]

havent read the other posts but go for blackairs or better everytime over slicks, i have a pair in my car and are doing nicely off the HU, will be adding a 2nd pair up front and amping them eventually

[Sati_007]

i was looking at those fusions aswell how about the JBL: GTO-607C ?

[owens130]

I've got the older versions and they have a nice warm sound but I did need to tone down the tweeter
