I'm looking for an afordable component set for my car, and found a set of Phoenix Gold R 6.5 components for a relatively cheap price. I've had Phoenix Gold Subs several years ago and had good luck with them. Are there products still good to buy?

Thanks!

I had a set of octane r 4x6's (not that they would compare to the components) that were crap. I would personally stay away from the octane r stuff unless you are runnin off deck power. However the RSd series have gotten some good words said about them from a very experienced car audio guru.

And the RSd 12" sub has also gotten praised during a head to head battle with some VERY reputable subs.
