What do you think?

I was just looking on crutchfield getting an idea for what to get for new speakers for my car because the stock ones suck and I happened to see Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X168 for sale Was $149.99, Now $69.99. Now I was going to go to an audio shop today to see what they had but damn that sounds like a good deal to me. I wanted to ask if anyone has used these and if they would be a good investment because I don't know they might suck and if so I will just end up going to that shop today and see what they have. Here is a link if that helps, http://www.crutchfield.com/S-eyMmp6A...0&I=113KFCX168 Thanks

Yea they look good... remember when in doubt you can always resell them on ebay...
i've actually bought decent 5X7's from Circuit City for $25/pair and after 2 years blasting them, they still havn't worn down... so yea that sounds like a great deal.

There ya go.. that should be more than enough power for those speakers and it's only $80.... so there you go, you're basically paying full price for the speakers with an amp included

Thanks for the amp link fishbulb, yeah I just ordered the speakers and am gonna connect them to the HU to see how it sounds. I think I will order the amp either way in a little while. I just have to spend my money on some other things yet so I am not sure I can aford that till this friday or next.
evil motors what other kenwood audio do you have? I mean I understand your whole system is kenwood but I am wondering what amp you are running if any?
