i can get both of these sets that were used for 150 shipped is that a good deal and will they sound better than polk momo comps
i would run the dynamics for the front and use just the coax of the arcs for rear fill they would be ran off a kicker 650.4 would that sound better than polks

I've never heard the ID's but I do know they make quality sounding equipment. My ID sub has some issues w/ cosmetically falling apart.

You must be kidding. The Chameleons are awesome. I have not heard the Foose speakers from Arc but, the older Arc series were fantastic and their subs are great too. I am not sure what you are baseing your "POS" comment on but, you are way off base on the Chameleons.

I was just refering to the ID.
Off base I may be, but there is a reason they warranty them for 90 Days. Mine lasted for almost 1 Year before they started to delaminate. Tried to talk to the company and all I ended up with was the run around and them trying to sell me another set. NO THANKS. But thats just my opinion.

I have had 4 or 5 sets of Chameleons over the years with no problems at all. The 5 1/4" are a little tiny compared to the massive 6 1/2". But I have never had a problem with them. The 90 days if not installed by a dealer is a bit weak. One year if dealer installed, but who does that.

I am surprised you had trouble talking with ID. I have talked with Eric several times on the phone and via email any time I have had questions on tech issues. To me, it says something about a company when the main guy in charge answers the phone and responds to emails personally. Just my opinion though. I am pretty much an Image sub owner for life.

Some of the higher end companies are really pushing the warranty stuff to the extreme. Zapco will not even work on an amp that does not have their verified serial number on them.

I would throw my vote for Rainbow SLC or the Phoenix Gold set that has been getting awesome reviews.
