awesome speakers

hey guys, when i decided to update my speakers in my 300ce, i went for a new brand at circuit city called eclipse. i was so impressed that i wanted to tell u all about it. these are some of the best speakers i have ever heard, and they were only $100 per pair. i got the 5.25" and they are 3 ways, so are the other sizes except for the 6x9s, they are 4 ways. anyway, the ones i got have tweeters, super tweeters, and a midrange with a freq response of 90hz-40khz. altho they arent crazy powerful, only 90 watts peak. i just wanted to let you guys know about this, if u get a chance check em out.

I've got Rainbow KX-120 koaxials in my W124. Totally plug'n'play, no need for any modifications. Sound is awesome, I just love it. It did cost 56 euros plus shipping, I think it is a real bargain.

I don't know, I was kind of disappointed when Eclipse replaced Infinity at Circuit City.

the infinity's that my circuit city was carrying was the lowest end, reference series. before they got rid of the infinity i listened to them both side by side, and the eclipses did sound better, in my opinion. if u miss the infinitys, best buy started carrying em pretty much as soon as circuit city stopped

Eclipse isn't a new brand, just that they usually cost so much that some stores don't stock them or people just aren't paying for them but very high quality they are. I've had 2 eclipse decks and an amp in my past and now I have another amp of theres for my door speakers and a subwoofer of theirs. But hear this is you love sound quality you must get one of there decks, they are just the best in my opinion.
