Just checked and you are right. Used to be quite a few around there. I can promise the tweeters are not harsh though. It's a silk dome not an aluminum one. They tend to not be as harsh.

Those image dynamics speakers can be found locally in br. Go to their website and search dealers in Br, but those tweeters are not harsh at all.
I can vouch for these CTX speakers. Not harsh at all and the mid bass/ woofers are solid as a rock. I have 75 Watts RMS (from a JL 5 channel amp- over your budget unfortunately ) going to mine and they sound great

I have listened to loud music for a long time, and metal tweeters still hurt my ears. Silk is where it's at

I'm gonna be that guy for a sec. I also found some JBL p660c components and they are comparable according to some forums to the ID CTX but costs around 115 and are 2 ohm. What is different from the 4 ohm and 2 ohm? I know from circuits that is just the resistance. What does that mean for picking an amp?
Btw thanks for y'all's help
Also wanted to add the Hertz DSK 165.3

essentially it reduces the resistance by half.
so
one 4 ohm speaker is going to be 4 ohms
two 4 ohm speakers wired in parallel is going to be 2 ohms
two 4 speakers wired in parallel is going to be 8 ohms
one 2 ohm speaker is going to be 2 ohms
two 2 ohm speakers wired in parallel is going to be 1 ohms
two 2 speakers wired in parallel is going to be 4 ohms
so at 2 ohms the amp puts out more power. The zapcos are good down to a 0.5 ohm. But I wouldn't push the zapco that hard, I would keep at a min of 2 ohm so the JBLs would require a much larger amp as they would have to be wired in a series to get a 4ohm load as a 1 ohm load would be pushing the amp pretty hard.
as far as the JBLs dunno never heard them. you won't be disappointed with the Ids though. If you wanna save a few bucks do the ID series thats on woofers etc.
BTW where are you getting the p660c's for 115? Also realize you would need a bigger amp to get the most out of the JBL's so that offset the savings. Also they use a textile dome not a silk dome, so harshness could be a problem.

Should read series.

OP,
I still have a HCCA 250 at my house i used to run 2 JL Audio W6-12's with.

Amazon. The amp is rated to 2 ohm. Wouldn't I just go off of the 2 ohm reading of the amp?
Why would I need to run them in parallel/series? Couldn't I just hook them straight to the amp?

Sorry, was typing fast

I apologize, I wasn't paying attention to what I was typing. They can be wired in straight to each channel from the crossover giving the amp a 2ohm load on each channel.

Did the squats make you that tired?
I know they do to me lol
I'm extremely exhausted the next day and useless the day after.
Got any opinions on Hertz?

Hertz is very good, as good or better than image.
And yea I was tired and distracted and wasn't paying attention.
