Help with some new speakers

I am going to put some different speakers in my car and am debating on witch ones to get. All are between $350 and $450. I was wondering what you guys thought of these options. Please let me know. Thanks:

Diamond Audio S600a

Focal 165 KP

CDT HD-62CF

Boston Pro 6.5

Iv'e worked with all of those speakers except the CDT's. The Boston Pros sound the best giving really good detail and high power handling. Diamond Audio would be my 2nd choice. I have Diamond audio M661 in my CL and those sound very crisp and detailed. Boston pros in my Astro van... flawless sound. Both of those are great. I don't really care for Focal.

Right on. I listened to the Boston Pro's at Quality Auto sound, and I really liked their sound. I even thought they sounded better than the $1000 Z series. But what really gets me is that they are charging $100 more than MSRP for the speakers.

Please keep the comments coming. I would like to hear if anyone has experience with the CDT's. Thanks.

I have the diamond 600s with the silk tweeters. I used to have a pair of soundstream exacts. The diamonds are the cleanest speakers I have heard and I have nothing bad at all the say about them. They are a wonderful speaker and you wont go wrong by getting them. The only thing you need to know about them is that they gobble up power like it's going out of style. The more power you give em the better they sound. I've got 140 going to each set now and you could easily push it up to 200.
