6X9 replacements?

 I want to replace my 6X9's and have narrowed it down to 2 choices.

1. Kenwood's KFC 6999ie http://kenwoodusa.com/product/product.jsp?productTypeId=43&sortBy=price&pageId=2&productid=2508

or

2. Alpine's  SPR694A  http://www.alpine-usa.com/html/D2_n_1_n_n.html

Could anyone let me know what they think or maybe have some other suggestions?

Thanks

Excuse me while I drool.  Those type R's are phenomenal.  I like both of those models that you threw out, but I personally think those Alpines will smack the Kenwoods.  I take it by your signature you're replacing the Pioneers, in which case either speaker will be an improvement.  But I vote Alpine in this case, they did everything right with the Type R series.

I am looking for alittle more highs.  would I achieve that with the Alpines or the kenwoods?

If you’re looking for some bright crisp highs I would look at some MB Quart DTE 169's http://mbquart.com/2003/en_US/products/prod_detail.asp?isArchive=&cat=auto&series=discus%20series&strt=1&model=DTE+169

Or DTC 169's http://mbquart.com/2003/en_US/products/prod_detail.asp?isArchive=&cat=auto&series=discus%20series&strt=1&model=DTE+169

I checked out the MB Quart line.  They sounded good but I didn't like the place they were be sold at.  So I went to a place out here in AZ. Ultimate Electronics and they had Kenwood Excelons X698's on close out sale for 150.00.  They gave me the sound I wanted to add to my truck.  Thanks for the input.
