alpine vs. CDT components?

[twinkieC405 10+ year member]

i dont know what to get for my components, i was so set on the cdt ef-51i's but then i was so impressed with my alpine type-r woofers that i thought i would look into the components and i was suprised to find that a lot of people really liked them. plus they are WAY cheaper. the only thing that discourages me is that i'm not sure if there is even a comparison between the two, that is looking at the RMS and peak. i really like the alpines cause of the price. so what do u guys think i should do? will i notice that HUGE of a difference between the two?

Marleyskater had 5 1/4" type R comps and loved them. He swears by them. I own type R's as well, but they arent installed yet. As for CDT's...they are supposed to be some of the best comps out there. I am sure either way u will be happy, but, if money is an issue, go with the type R's. Otherwise, its a toss up.
