Adire Extremis 6.8 Questions

Ok, so I'll scratch the mids since apparently the Extremis is fairly strong. Its not like I can't add down the road.

Now recommendations to fit in the place of the Morels? I mean honestly, budget=good. $100 less would be stellar as long as they'll give a pretty damn close performance. I personally like the R Type Alpine speakers(atleast in comparison to the power series metal domes) a LOT. And I'd say something similar or a bit better might do me.

And honestly could use suggestions for amps to drive. I'm thinking this now:

Interiors:

Also what else will I need to properly run this? Crossovers for example?

Edit: CSS WR125, would that be for a tweeter replacement? And isn't like 4.5" kinda big for that? Just inquiring. If it'll do the same for less $$ then I'm entirely for it.

And can someone explain to me why I'm using home audio equip? :P And will they work well enough with the amps I can get? I'd say logically yes, and you guys wouldn't suggest it if no. But I don't wanna find out some work to be done down the road. :P

A ribbon tweeter is different from conventional dome tweeters in a way that its diaphragm is a ribbon of metal suspended between two magnets (or in the center air gap of one magnet.)  They do not have seperate voice coils as the ribbon is the voice coil.  There are several advantages to ribbons VS conventional tweeters, and a couple of disadvantages.  First the disadvantages, a ribbon has relatively higher cost and can be much more fragile.  But some of the many advantages include:

1. lower mass, hence higher efficiency, lower fs, wider frequency response and better transient response

2. better heat dissipation, hence better reliability and less thermal compression

3. lower inductance, hence flatter impedance and frequency response

4. homogeneous diaphragm movement, hence low distortion

5.  a "lighter, more airy" sound, due to the extended high end response and very, very fast transient response time

Ribbon fans swear they will never use another type of tweeter.  For many years they were simply too fragile for automotive use, but I have heard of people having good results with the G2 series.

OK, you go ahead.  I seldom use it.
