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.

P.S. I have a 300 amp Iraggi alternator and two optima red tops powering my system.  2 - 1000 watt MTX amps for my 2 MTX subs.

I should also mention that I like loud music and like to show off my system.  Like to listen to all sorts of music but mainly hip hop style music.

in my opinion i would probably go with the C608GTI MKII  ive used them before and they sound amazing i think they have a much better tone than the type r comps.
