I work with bestbuy and I have been getting some employee purchase plans from different car audio companies. Alpine had one last month however I got my order in too late. We should be getting another one from Alpine soon. However the best 6 1/2 components were the SPR-17s. I have just recieved one from JBL (need to place the order soon however...hence the asap in the title.) and they are giving us a much better deal (looking at the discount anyways) than Alpine was. However I need help deciding. I know what im leaning towards however I would like some input from some of you first.
Following is a list of each set of speakers that im looking at. Followed by a quick spec sheet as well as the website from the manufacturer. After that the price per set (2 speakers per set, Im looking for 4 of them)
Please let me know your opinions. Ive never had speakers from either company so I have no experience with their products. Ill say right now that im not looking to buy the $500.00 competition ones though I would like to know what people think of them and the price as well.
