what component speakers should i get????
jl's or kickers

I haven't heard the kickers so I can't give you a good comparison but I have heard various JLs and I liked them very much.
If you hvae some local shops that carry them, you should go and listen to both and see what you like better.
I have Kicker Resolution components up front in my car. They are pretty good, the tweeters are so dam loud, give me the biggest headaches, I've tried to fix it with my equalizer and they are still rediculous. I'm probably going to switch to Boston Acoustics or MB Quarts....
It sounds like you have a price range, so for the money I think Infinity makes amazing speakers...

Ya i got sum infinities and they sound great i luv em
It depends,as everyone is different in their taste as far as how speakers sound.U should def try to listen to both sets but in my opinion id go with JL
I don't know about the cheaper comps, but the Kicker RS6 components have a tweeter gain attenuator. They sound awesome. I like the kickers, big surprise.

PPI... DEQ-230
PPI... PC450 4 channel
Eclipse 3640 4 channel
FI 12"BTL
Eclipse DA7232 (2000 watts RMS)<------![]()
Kicker ND 25 Tweets
Kicker RS6 6.5" comps
Kicker R5c 5.25" midrange
yeah def look at the higher end stuff from kicker and jl,as i wouldnt bother with the lower end comps...
I'd go with the JL comps. Out of the Kicker comps that I have heard, I wasn't impressed at all, with any aspect. The tweets are too strong for my tastes, and the midbass lack range. The JL's are much better in both areas, with the tweets being smooth, and the mid's having a broader range.
"Whattaya lookin' at? You're all a bunch of fvcking assholes. You know why? 'Cause you don't have the guts to be what you wanna be. You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fvcking fingers, and say "that's the bad guy." So, what dat make you? Good? You're not good; you just know how to hide. Howda lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth--even when I lie. So say goodnight to the bad guy. Come on; the last time you gonna see a bad guy like this, let me tell ya. Come on, make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through; you better get outta his way!"
Listen to both. See which ones you like more. Actually, listen to as many brands as possible to make sure you don't miss out on something.
What is your budget ? This can help narrow it down.

All of this is (of course) is my opinion.
