Are component speakers worth the buy?

[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 2453376, member: 561023"] [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wave.gif.002382ce7d7c19757ab945cc69819de1.gif[/IMG] Welcome to the forum. Are component speakers worth buying as opposed to just going with a less expensive and easier to install set of coaxials? In a word? Yes! But, sadly, those Kenwoods are more than a bit lacking as far as component sets go. In that pricerange you can find much better sounding drivers. (bear in mind this comes from a die-hard Kenwood loyalist so it's not advice given lightly) Edit: I just noticed that you plan on using headunit power rather than an outboard amplifier and that changes things a bit. Component sets will want considerably more power than a headunit can give them to operate at their best so in your situation of not planning to purchase an amp you'd probably get more satisfactory results using a mid-level set of coaxials instead.
