Components

Better description of what i should've said but didnt In summary, the first concern for good sound is tweeter direction and power, then the mid-range - if directed where most likely to be heard, its a small plus, but not amazingly important then the bass which may as well be aimed anywhere that looks good or suits? Is that a summary of what you mean?

Pretty much, yeah, though some will argue that the mid is still quite important

I wouldnt argue it , But i would just say that the mid needs to be of a decent sound quality and loudness as to be at least equal the bass and treble so that it is not drowned out by either, although it is controllable, you cannot get full potential out of a set-up if there is too much of either treble or bass and not enough mid - agreed?

Of course, it has to be balanced to what the individual wants from their system. You want the bass, treble and mid to compliment each other

Dont buy the Alpine speakers. They make cracking headunits ok amps but there rest of there stuff meh. Theres better for the money.

Personally id go with something like these.

Just the alpine speakers arent great. And its not all about RMS output its the way the sound comes across that you want right and the rainbows are probably the best in that budget. And in most budgets to be honest. Afterall they do go all the way up to £6500 for a set of components.

Rainbows are good, as are Genesis
I'd also be inclined to give the MB Quarts a shot - I've not heard anything bad about them
There's also JBLs in your price range. At the budget end of the speaker scale, JBLs are widely regarded as excellent speakers for the money. I wonder if this applies for their higher end stuff too.........:chin:

And Wozza, my Alpine comps are awesome, about as far from "meh" as you can get
