In general, which is better, audiobahn or kicker? assumin specs are comparable

 

the two sets i am considering between:

and

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...;rd=1&rd=1

the specs arent the same...ie: audiobanh has a lil over twice the rms wattage (200) as kicker (90), however, kicker is 3-way...which is the better choice?

 

and what size speakers are in the doors (04 civic ex)? and is there anything wrong with mixing and matching, as in puttin pioneer in the doors and audiobahn or kicker in the back? thanks

 

those kickers will be alot better then those dubs....and no it wont matter if you mix the brands its just some guys preference on here to stick with the same brand.Just make sure you give those kickers a decent amount of power to them...once again anything else just ask. (thats my opinion on the choice BTW)

Audiobahn's look cooler...lol

My opinion...Alpine components and coax speakers own everything...get yourself a set of Type S or R and you will NEVER regret it

 

+1 on the type S alpine coax's!(I actually have some for sale if you want them.A set of four 6.5") And as a mobile A/V installation tech, I HATE AUDIOBAHN. They're the industry ******. JL and Alpine rule the car stereo world. But kicker isn't a bad investment by any means. They'll last you a lot longer too

 

on the newer models where they have the tweeter at the corner of the window....do the speakers on the door have tweeters as well? if they are not stocked that way, will it hurt to have a 3-way, or even a 4-way speaker on the door? thanks

 

ya, i actually was planning on putting sony's Xplod on the doors. they are 6.5" with 220 Watts and they are in fact, a 4-way speaker

 

All that 220 watt rating on the speakers means is you'll have to go and buy an amp to power them. The alpine's have adjustable tweets built into the center, and run great off a nice head unit.I believe they're 4 ways also

 

ya id say... audiobahn IF your jsut starting out and like the looks

kicker if ya like the performance and sound.....


tho personaly ME.... i want to upgrade my REaudio components to some alpine component speakers....
