Focal, CDT, and Alpine type R are all good.

the only way you'll get good response from any components the way you want though, is by using an amplifier for them. I'd recommend about 45-65 watts per channel RMS.
head units just don't cut it.

Depending on you tuning capabilities maybe you would like the sound of a silk dome tweeter over a metal dome.

wow, what does this have to do with this thread?

I'm not sure which is worse. That install, or that music. I've not experienced worse examples of either in quite some time.
The doors look good, but those tweeters are pointless and hideous with the wires just hanging out loosely like that. After hearing that music, I expected you to pan back and have the truck Donked.

GlassWolf, are you slow? Read the title of the thread, he wants good 6.5s, so yall are suggesting some and YOU even suggested Type R's.. So i post a video of my 6.5s so he can see how they perform...

I took that video RIGHT after i got the doors done, i had to find a spot for the tweeters i was listening how the tweeters sound on the dash.

EVERYONE loves them, but you're just a "hater" i guess. OH.. how can you say the install is bad but the doors look good?

Oh the paint job sucks but the paint looks awesome? no..


I came back to this shitty forum to help a little, then got some douche bag azz response, this forum hasn't changed since i left..

the doors look fine. that dash is horrid. the tweeters you stuck on the dash with what appears to be some elmers glue, look terrible.

The Type Rs sound fine. Your taste in music was what I was insulting. I've heard cats screwing that sounded better than that garbage.

geesh.

Mostly I was just razzing you.. but really, do something with those tweeters.. like throw them out. You really don't need them when you have coaxials in the doors. All they are doing is messing with your imaging and soundstage.

glad ya got a good job!

You can safely go with an amplifier rated for up to 150W x 2ch @ 4 ohms with music on them, but 65WRMS per channel is plenty for moderately loud volumes.

I have a big question that nobody has even acknowledged before jumping into your speaker sucks pissing contest.

Would the OP please define "decent price". $20-$50, $50-$100, $100-$150, etc.

FWIW, I used to have Alpine Type R 6.5s powered by an Infinity Amp at 100w RMS per channel. The Type R's are not good compared to the Focals or Infinities in my opinion. They had plenty of mid-bass but the highs and accuracy was not very good.
