i am finally buying my speakers this weekend. a pair of 6x9's and a pair for the doors...cant remember what size those are off the top of my head. ALL i am concerned about is performance. i dont have amps yet, but that is gonna be my next purchase. WHAT brand is better for performance?? WHY?? thank you

 

ummm r u planning to get subs??? and pound for pound they both are good.....but id go with the alpine, ive heard 6 by9s in my friends lancer, the sound quality is excelllent and has no distortion

 

go 6 x 9's

 

you've probably got 6.5" speakers in your doors, and 6x9 rear, most of us do.

I would say go either way, a midrange set of kickers will meet a lower type S setup of alpine. I like Alpine, but both are good companies, whatever's cheaper I guess.

 

im gonna have to go with alpine on this one....kickers are good but not until you get at like thier top line.If you go with alpine make sire its type-r or higher.

 

k...thanks...i always liked kicker but EVERYBODY seems to say alpine....so, alpine it is..

 

ALPINE FTW!
Ya!
Type S sound nice too,, if you don't plan on amping the speakers ever, go with the type s, they will sound great...but if you want to amp them, grab the type r's in the least

 

Sub wise wouldnt Kickers be better. 3 of my friends had kicker comps and some had type r and 2 had type s and the kickers destroyed them. I dont know about 6x9 speakers but for subs from personal experience I am going to def say KICKER FTW

 

I have had very great experience with my old Kicker KS series 6.5" speakers. I had a Kicker amp on them. They don't sound tinny but they have really nice highs, if complemented with a sub, perfection is accomplished.

The old setup included for a truck.

a pair of Kicker KS 6.5" coaxial 2 way speakers
a loaded Kicker 10” L5 at 4 ohms in sealed truck box
a Kicker KX850 850 Watt 4 Channel Amp running door speakers and other 2 channels bridged for the sub.

 

Alpine FTW!!! my favorite stuff ever, you cantbeat the quality or the sound of it man
