Then build your own ported Dayton Classic 8" subwoofer with these amps:

You'd also need a RCA Y-splitter and a RCA to headphone jack adapter.

I'm about to get the final piece... a Jet belt driven table saw for X-mas :D Then its just an issue of money for car projects or speaker projects :blush:

bhg41088, the OP is looking for ported loudspeakers that utilize 5.5" woofers and ribbon tweeters, not a sat/sub system.

Yeah, I know. Just seems like overkill since they are right in front of your face. I'm not sure most 2 way designs are meant to be listened to near field like that. Just throwing out another option.

Yeah, I have a pair of these Aurasound (http://www.timn8er.com/Aurasound%20NS3.htm) speakers myself. I have a subwoofer in the plans but these put out insane amounts of bass.

Wow, I had an extra pair of Neo3's until I drilled a hole in one of them. :rolleyes:

I'm sure I can pick another one up though ... thanks for the link 'cuz I was hoping to find budget bookshelf to build with them - nice! :D

The excel and CD3 is exactly what prompted this. I am just looking for more options in that direction. The rs and neo is nice too.

The reason I am choosing these drivers is that I have all the amps, processing and what not to do it for in house, then I plan to move them into the car in my next car.

Not a 5.25", but here's a link to a ribbon/tang band Ti 4" design.....

What about the Swans M200MkII?? MDF construction, 35x2 amp, RCA ins, volume/bass/treble control and all put together for you (non-DIY). I have a pair and the soundstage and imaging are really nice.

Here's a coupe of reviews:

I built a simple sub-less MTM system for my computer using the 4" version of those hi-vi drivers with silk LPG's. I thought it sounded pretty "good" subjectively until I replaced the drivers with tang band w4-1052SA's, which were much better sounding even though the enclosure wasn't designed for them.

I recently picked up some of the titanium tang band w4-1337's, and they blow either away. They also seem perfect for either kick panels or computer speakers because they are optimized for a tiny box. There is a tang band aluminum cone driver with similar characteristics (that I haven't tried) for about half the price as well...

I am thinking about doing the Tubular kit from PE useing those TB's.

I don't know why I am just stuck on some really nice monitors. The 5.5 and ribbon just stick out to me. I have plenty of subs and processing so it just might be trial and error.
