It all depends on your personal tastes and expectations. You should go to the store with your own music and see which ones you like better. They're all fine, but they will sound different.

I hear that the alpines are pretty good and have a clean crisp sound?

im with kfr on this one. in any car stereo system, it all boils down to what sounds good to you.

Go and listen to them. I love Nakamichi, CDT, Cadence, and Focal Components. It all depends on your ear though.

The honest answer is that none of them are clearly better than the others. Where do you live that don't have dealers that sell those very common brands? ------------- New Project: 2003 Pathfinder

How much are you looking to spend on Components? Perhaps we can list a good component for a certain price range.

1. An audio dealer who doesn't have speaker selection by listening to them available in his store........should get out of the business and try something else. 2. If you have to buy speakers on the recommendation of others, you might as well pick a model blindfolded. But it can get expensive and time-consuming as you try them out installed in your car. The old adage goes Drive a little, save a lot.

its upsetting seeing these type of posts all the time. which is the best.
its just as upsetting hearing the same responses (go listen around). unfortunately, eeh is in the same boat as myself, where the dealers around his area dont carry a wide(er) range of speakers.
around my area i wasnt nearly impressed with the speakers i heard as i am with the ones i bought 'blindly' over the internet. for the most part, eeh, i dont think you can go wrong with anything you listed, as long as you power them with a good 50watts, and set your xo/gains properly they should play a nice clean sound.
my moto is, you get what you pay for. with some exceptions, but i dont think you could go wrong with Inifinty/polk or the 'higher end' alpines.
The dealer around my area had 6.5 alpines, and although they had fairly good highs, their midbass lacked a bit, but they werent the high end alpines, so i dont want to judge the entire component line based on 1 set i heard.
find a set that suits your budget, or where the seller has a better reputation, or whatever, just power them with something clean and you should be happy with the output.
