6.5 components that can handle 200rms?

[plyer3 10+ year member]

Thinking of replacing my Type-R 6.5 components with something that can handle 200rms. Any suggestions? i see that the re XXX 6.5s can handle 150 and that's the most i've seen. i'm more towards spl, but would like quality for my fronts.

Getting rid of my rears, so my pdx will be able to do 200rms x 2 bridged 4ohm or 2ohm. rears will have no speakers.

i heard they were sound good, haven't heard them in person though. if they can handle 200rms i'll probably give them a try.

edit: wait are you running 100watts to each or 200watts to each?

I have some Dotech Ovation 6 for sale if you are interested. They can definitely handle that power.

Boston Pro's can probably handle 200, I was pushing 180 to them off a Zapco no problem or the Z's deffinitly can.

I had a set of DD W6.5LT's on 150 watts each and they took it with no problems at all.

I would go with something with great SQ, and stay around 100 rms. Adding a few more watts won't really make a difference really. Those Type r's probably sound pretty harsh given their rated power i can imagine.

I think running 200 watts over 100 watts will actually make a difference.

choosing components by power handling is silly.

The CDT m6 could probably handle that.

well i can either have both 6.5s and 6x9s or just 6.5s. my amp does 100rms x 4 @ 4ohm. how does type-rs sound compare to the rockford fosgate t1 6.5s? thinking about getting all rf for my mids and highs.

how much? wonder if mounting depth will be ok, will probably need to first make a kick pod.

OP: JBL c608GTi Mk2 can handle that power no sweat.
