Click on "Features and Specs" It will tell you all you need to know. I'd copy and paste it for you, but I'm too lazy.

i guess i meant to say experience wise. I can see the difference in the specs, but im trying to see if anyone has experience with either one. One thing is reading what they have and then there is actually hearing them.

I run 4 punch 6x9s myself.
My buddy use 2 power 6x9s.
If i run only 2, mine sound more "clear" as the powers, the powers are stronger on the mid-segment.
Cant go wrong with the punch line, good budget speakers.

We always have a problem with the Punch speakers blowing when ran at rms. (no distortion).

The Power series are way better IMO. Alot more mid range! have my 6"1/2 components RF Power high pass at 40HZ no problem.

I have Power 6.5's in the front doors and 4x6's in the back doors and they're only running off my Alpine HU and they are crystal clear with the volume all the way up. Really loud too. GREAT SPEAKER imo.

Dude, I'm not 100% on this but I'm pretty sure thats a no no. At full volume your HU is sending those speakers a clipped signal. I would look into that if I was you. Don't want you blowing some nice speakers if it can be avoided.
