Looking at new speaker options - any thoughts?

[Kenny]

So I'm looking to upgrade my system again.
I was just powering my front and rears (cheap blaupunkts) with the head unit and have a 12" sub in the rear door panel (JL amp).

I just installed an Alpine MRP F-300 amp, now I want some nice speakers since the ones I have now are a bit overpowered and muddy at high volume. I want more clarity and power, clarity being my priority.

I have a budget for about $300 for a set of components in the front for now.
Here's what I narrowed it down to:

- Pioneer 720PRS
- Alpine SPX-17PRO
- Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1
- Boston Acoustics PRO 60SE edit

or just build my own set:
mid-driver: Dayton Reference RS180-4
tweet: Seas prestige 27TAFNC/D H1397
crossover: Dayton XO2W-3.5K 2-Way

Anyone have any experience with these sets, or have other suggestions?

I sort of narrowed down what I'm looking at based on being able to get these locally. ebay from the US is an option, but import costs can add $40 to any price.

One other thought, does anyone think its an issue going to 6.5" speakers in the front. These selections can go up to 100-125W RMS and my amp can only push 50W RMS. So I'm curious if they are oversized if I'm listening at mid levels, would 5.25" be a better option to get better sound quality at normal listening volume...

Then again, I may be considering bridging to get 150W to the fronts and kill the rear fill in the future...



on a side note: I REALLY want these for the rears: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tchlink:top:en

They would match up just perfect with my sub! but probably THEY sound like $#!t. Not many reviews on blaupunkts.



thanks!
