what are my optiom in terms of 4' component sets for good SQ
planning on doing a 5-4-1 in the front any pointers?

dont bother with a 4" and 5" basically counter productive, either will be able to drop that low and both play pretty much the same midrange fr.

THus I suggest
8-4-1
8-5-1
61/2-4-1

or you want to be different you could...

go with some horns and 8-10 midrange/midbass driver.

Good read on eca recently about the ideal sized midrange. Winslow and Kevin K made a damn convincing argument for why a larger midrange in better.

3rd. forget the 5-4-1. if the biggest speaker you can fit in there is a 5, then just go with a 5.25 comp set.

but a rsd6 isnt much bigger then a 5.25 really....i might work

I guess the 4" RSd coax is now distinct?

OK, so I think Ishould be able to do 6-4-1 without much problems
True a 8-4-1 would be great
either way, what drivers would you suggest?
good SQ but not on the pricey side

im not sure who makes a good 4" set, but ywhat you COULD do is buy a rsd 6" set

then run the 6 as a dedicated midbass, then mate the leftover tweet with a good 4" mid and use the leftover RSD passive crossover...

well I'll need you guys to source those out for me as there's just nothing really decent here, let alone prices

RSD6 seems nice. don't know much about vifa's
specs on these? Price?

The older Boston Acoustic 4.5 ProSeries was 4" component. I never have use the 4", but I liked 5.5's & 6.5's. The 4" midbass atleast looked beefy.
