I'm looking for a new dash midrange to replace my current 2" Vifa NE65W, something with a little more oomph. I've replaced the entire stock premium system with the following:

Iphone digital out to Pure I-20 DAC
JL HD900/5 and JBL MS-8 running the tweets, 4-way active.
2x6.5" CDT M6+ subs in back
2x6.5" Polk woofers in doors
2x2" Vifa NE65W mids in dash
2x1" Seas Neos in A-pillars

What I want in order of priority

1. Plays LOUD without distortion (req partly due to the fact that I have a convertible)
2. Good ~infinite baffle performance (no sealed box)
3. Good off axis response
4. Can be crossed reasonably low
5. Low price

The Legatia L3, Peerless and FR88's have been recommended, currently I'd lean towards the FR's. L3's are too expensive.
