best 6.5 components for 200 250

I'm building a system and want some opinions on 6.5" component speakers for about $200. I'm using a Rockford Fosgate Punch 25 to Life amp (birthsheet specs. 216W RMS per ch @ 4ohms) and will have 2 sets of Kicker SS6 Mid-bass wired parelled together and seriesed with the componets. In this wiring configuration impedance to the amp will be 8ohms and power output should be about 108W RMS. The components I have narrowed down are:

Rockford Fosgate T162S

Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1

Boston Accustics Pro 60

I want objective opinions from folks who have heard and/or installed any/all of these components. Also any other options that are in the power/price range would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Scott

Anyone who says "buy these guys, they are better" are blowin' smoke.  Any audio enthusiast who's got any kind of reputation will say only one thing in selecting your speakers..."Listen to them, and buy the ones you like the most."

Everyone's ears are different.  Don't let anyone tell you different.  Buy the speakers that sound the best to you.  I've lost sales of high-end components to this very idea when the customer likes the sound of the $150 component speakers over the $600 ones.

You know I completely missed this before.  WHAT are you trying to do?

"will have 2 sets of Kicker SS6 Mid-bass wired parelled together and in series with the componets." How do you get 8 ohms from 2 ohms series with 4 ohms?

I stand corrected, that would be a six ohm load. I plan on using the amp's high pass filter to cut off any bass response below 50-60Hz. I would then like to build a low pass 2nd order passive x-over for the mid-bass and cut the highs out at 500Hz. And finally use the componets x-over to handle the mids and highs(above 500Hz).

I really appreciate all the comments, but wanted to hear opinions from someone who has accually heard these particular speakers. I know how different speakers sound is very subjective, but car audio professionals should be able to give an objective opinion regardless of their personal tastes. I live 200 miles away from a large city and have no practicle way of listening to any of them, that is why I am asking if anyone(hopefully a professional) has heard these particular speakers and try to give a objectional opinion on these particular speakers. Has any heard these componets Rockford Fosgate T162S , Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1 , or Boston Accustic Pro 60?
