    I mean if you have like 100-125 rms per channel at your disposal I would go with the new 2007 model Alpine Type-R comps or some Polk Audio comps. If you only have like 40-60 rms or are going off of the HU. I would prolly go with some JBL GTO comps or some Phoenix Gold Rsd comps.

    yeah.. just make sure you get the 2007 model Type R as they are a major improvement over the previous years.
    It has a flat face plate that goes over the woofer is how you can tell.

    I heard from a lot of people in the past that CDT's are good especially for the price. You can check them out on woofersetc.com

    wow those cdt's are a great deal, i checked out the specs on them ,they look good but how do they sound? my local shops only carry brands like kicker, fosgate and kenwood witch sound good, but theres other brands out there, i just want to see how far my 125$ will take me, i just might have to fork out some $$$$$!!

    the equipment is far less important than the install. Concern yourself with that first.

    maybe you don't understand what I was trying to say.. and if you think that you will get better audio information from a dodge forum.. go for it. If you only have 125 dollars to spend. You need to buy your deadener and materials to make baffles and seal the doors off first to get the best sound out of whatever speakers you choose. A properly installed 25 dollar pair of speakers will sound better than your 125 dollar speaker or a 500 dollar speaker for that matter just screwed into the door sheetmetal like most people do.

    o, i didnt understand, and the other forum was for ideas and posibly pics of the same exact car i have, deadener? baffels, is that like some plastic or wood between, the speaker and door frame, or is it like if the door holds a 6.5, buy a 5.25 woofer and screw a 1/4in board the size of 6.5 with a 5.25 hole cut in it and mount the 5.25 woofer onto it? dam i dont even know what i said, i dont expect anyone ells to eather!
