Thumbs up

Just installed some Polk db 6501s and I love em....$219 per pair so not exactly cheap, but not terribly expensive. When I bought them, crutchfield was running a special where if you bought one pair you got the second pair half price. Not sure if this is still going on though

all depends on your budget. I've always been a fan of Kicker.

My budget is like Blazeplacids I buy speakers once every 3-4 years. So I don't mind spending the money on that. although I haven't bought a set of $1000 speakers I don't rule it out. I look at it like this $1000 over 4 years = 250 per year. And you may not like the sound out of those $250 speakers so next year you buy another set in the same price range plus install if you aren't handy.
Although $250 might get you some decent speakers they may not give you the same enjoyment as the $1000
So to me speakers are an investment.

Ya 500 and less for the front components. I just want a simple system,comps up front a quality sub and amp. Aiming more on quality than quantity.

There must be a company that makes quality speakers for a reasonable price ??

there is... but best thing to do is go listen to speakers, all of us have different tones they prefer, amazingly a lot of people like infinity speakers. to me they sound tinny and lack depth and richness of sound but their mids are decent.
but listen to a variety of speakers, sometimes price isn't the best determining factor

I have Kappa Perfects in my Maxima and they're pretty good. Not as good as the Boston Pro 6.5s I had prior, but good value. Nowehere near the $500 mark. Focal 165 KF, JL XR, DLS UP6i, Boston Pro60SE, some options to consider

Also wanted to know what you think of Boston Acoustics sub G5 (10")

Infinity comps to me sound ok on a budget, the referance to me have a decent tweeter, kinda bright but you can turn it down to -3 on the crossover

sides from that I like CDT, they have a laid back tweet.

Whats a rough price you wanna pay?

Are you putting them in yourself? If not then the install will eat up about $150-200 (possible less or more) depending on what you want to do and where you go
