The diamond audio componets are really sweet, I would have gotten those if I didnt get the premiers for cheap. Either diamond or boston acoustics, well thats my two pennies

Typically your hard dome, or metallic tweeters are going to sound "bright" (read: ear's bleeding on the highs). What you want to look into is a larger soft dome tweeter, preferably silk. In my opinion, it's hard to beat Rainbow. I've got the Rainbow Pro 265 2 way components, and I've had quite a few people hear then, then proceed to tell me they were selling their speakers and getting Rainbows. They have a soft dome tweeter which is very smooth, defined, and accurate. I've also had people ask me if I had an 8" sub in the car because of the great midbass of the Rainbows as well. They cost a bit, but if you were looking at MB Quarts then these are right there with them. Go to www.ampmanaudio.com and check out a set of Rainbows that are in your price range. Best of luck in your search.

I would go for a set of the Image Dynamics Chameleon series components, they sound awesome and are not that $$$$. I do also agree on the Rainbow's but you are going to pay an arm and a leg. The ID's sound much better than any MB Quart that I have heard, they have really crisp highs, not outragously bright like the Quarts, and the midbass is excelent. Listen to a few and dont just take our words for, you might like something completely different. Good luck. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Try a a set of DEI's. I had a set in my BMW a few years ago and they sounded great. You can buy them from www.mmxpress.com . He has great prices and service.
