Amp- Elemental Designs NINe.2 it is a 300 watt amp so thats 150 watts a speaker/tweeter so i need something that can run like a continuous 120-180. preferably 150.

im looking at the Elemental Designs 6500's cause they go perfect with my amp

I tried replying to your PM, but somehow I deleted it and what I wrote.

Anyway, what do you have to spend? I recommend Rainbow SLC 265 or SLC 265 kicks (if you are running a sub). You can see them here: http://car.rainbow-audio.de/products...=2&pro=1&lin=7
or http://www.audiojunkies.com/Categori...g[cid]=154

They can easily handle 150 watts.

I might be downgrading my system...if I do, I will be going with a pair of the SLCs.

I can get decent prices on Rainbow so if you are interested shoot me an email. brypink@***.net or brypinksr@yahoo.com

hey what about the http://car.rainbow-audio.de/products...n=7&art=231569 ??

they will fit right in since they are 5X7's and they handle 150 watts too.

and what do they mean by "System needs approximately 10 hours running in time for optimal sound reproduction." ??

Pat,
Yes those 'Bows will fit no problem.
The statement means that they require around 10 hours of break in period. After 10 hours of playing time, they will sound much better than the first time you throw them in and listen to them...

Rainbows > anything else


I always wanted to put that. Of course that is on a price basis. You get more for your dollar with Rainbow.

Thats was they said when I was first looking at speakers a few months ago....
