Exodus Anarchy ? My goal: Up front Base My Thoughts: The Anarchy looks like the superior driver My Qualm: Is it worth the extra $82? (41 per driver) So what do you think? I have 100 watts per channel for them, but if the anarchies need more power I could always bridge the amplifier for 250 watts and drop the rear fill. The real question is will the anarchies be worth the extra money? The daytons seem to be approved of as a mid-bass driver. Also I have heard that the anarchies don't always do well in the automotive environment. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.

They're 8 ohm and not terribly efficient, so they'll appreciate the extra power. The RS-180 won't play as low with as much authority, but it will play higher.

Honestly if I go with the anarchies it just doesn't leave a lot of budget for work on the doors. I think that even though the RS180's aren't going to give me quite as much low end I am still going to be happy with them. And my doors really do need more work. Maybe sometime down the road I will be able to put some more money in for the anarchies, but right now the RS's just make more sense. Thanks everybody for the opinions, much appreciated.
