if i HAD to run one or the other id baffle up the oval holes and run 6.5 power fosgates. i wouldnt touch punches or any of the kicker lines unless the ss line is still around

I do believe the SS line was replaced by the QS line (I think). I was not a fan of the new ones.

For the PRICE / Power handling / Clarity go with the New Rockford Fosgate line of coax or separates.

There was EXSTENSIVE amounts of research done prior to these launching and they sound absolutely phenomenal. My fav is the T1652.

The Kicker RS series is actually quite nice. I run them in a 6 1/2 in the doors configured as a coaxial and they are crossed over actively with my Sundown sax50.4 which works great. The one thing I don't like about them is the passive crossover. The one in my passenger side door had something come loose off the board and would make the side cut in and out.

I've ran the older Punch 6 1/2" speakers that could be run as a coaxial with 2 tweets per driver and they were okay. I ended up cooking one of the woofers after having them for about a year and a half. Not the worst speaker ever but didn't expect to burn a coil with the settings that I had which was pretty much no bass at all. I've also heard the Power comp's and would say that I'd give them a try.

How bout these? I've heard them at best buy, and they don't sound that bad. Polk, jbl, pioneer all also make a sets like this too. It's prolly better then any normal 4x6 coax set.

That is a good advice to follow. :good:

Run 6.5 component speakers instead of oval ones.
