Is this a worthy set-up?

Alpine 9887

Sundown 125.2

ID CTX65CS

I'm not looking to go real big, just something nice that I can keep awhile. The 9887 just went up $120 recently on woofersetc.com :/

It's only going into a 95 4-dr Sentra, nothing flashy.

that should be a really nice combo. Those sundown amps sound very nice.

Are you planning on using a sub?

Looks like the mids and highs will be good. If it was me I'd have to have at least a small sub in there though or you will have very little bass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Every time I get out of car audio, a few months later I get tired of the components in my car sounding good, but having no bass at all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Maybe in the future but not right now. I wanna see how nice this set-up is before deciding.

It's just so expensive //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The set-up I posted is ~$1,100 and that's without install kit and install cause I won't be installing it myself.

And, what if I don't have tweeters currently? Do I NEED to use them?

Do the CTX65CS come 2 speakers to a set?

What I'm asking is, does the $190 kit come with 2 speakers? Meaning I would need two sets total?

I want to witness the coaxial speakers that can make me think I don't need a sub for more bass.

that should be for a pair, 1 for each door.

Just never heard of paying ~$400 for components but I'm totally willing to.

Ouch man, thats pretty steep for what you listed. I wish you lived near me and I'd help you out with the install one weekend and try to save you some money //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

EDIT:: And yes, you def want to use the tweeters as well as the woofers. It would be kind of silly not to.

Pricey but nice none the less.

Would the installer just cut holes for them?

You would have to talk to the installer and see where would be best for your car. They can go in the door next to the woofer if there's room, in the A-Pillar is a pretty popular spot also, mine are in the dash in my truck in the factory spot and they sound ok there. It really depends on your car and where you want them at. Without them your music is gonna have no highs at all though and not sound very detailed.

you should build some boxes for the tweeters, to maximize their acoustic performance.
