Well i just got back from a local car audio shop. Took a listen to some memphis speakers and wasnt very impressed at all
Took a listen to some JL c5s (out of my price range), i liked their sound. Kind of bright - the guitar picking sound had pretty nice intonation, very little distortion in the deep "chugging" metal riffs.
Unfortunately their Focal display was down, and i was really hoping to take a listen to those.

Im lookin for a set of comps for around 200 (Im upgrading from a pair of infinity reference p.o.s. comps) and it seems like Image dynamics, focal and rainbows are all really well respected. But i cant take a listen for myself.
Could anybody share their input on which would have cleaner midbass - after having those infinitys with no sound deadening I really miss my mids
Ill be matching them up with a DIYMA 12, 1.1 cuft ported at 30hz off a Clarion dpx1851

If its any help, my ideal sound would be to replicate my Ultimate Ears fi.3 headphones, im in love with their SQ.

Have you thought of getting parametric equalizer instead? Sure you can spend hundreds of dollars on a great set of component speakers, but most of the time, with an aid of spectrum analyzer and good ear, you can achieve good sound quality with mid quality components.
