Components or Coax..?

Ive got a RF3002 for power. 75x2@4 and 150x2@2. I have my door pods started, I just need speakers. I will be running a pair per door. Which one and why?

I had some of those kicker 6.5's once. Theyre nothing special really. Never heard the polks though.

Components!!

Kickers component line-up isn't really much to consider. I'm not sure how to put this without totally bashing Kicker. The build quality of their subs and amps far surpasses that of their components. I think Kicker just wanted speakers available for purchase to match their current line of products so consumers could have 'matching equiptment'. Just my $0.02.

polk dbs are good and easier to install than components

Good deal. Im not huge on SQ, so coax was a leading choice for ease of install. Also they are buy one get one 1/2 off with free shipping I think. Ill be sure to put up a build of the pods for yall.

If your going for coax get Pioneer REV's

i had a set of polk db 525's the 5 1/4 inch coax's. they sounded pretty good but they couldn't take any power. i had them on a rockford amp (cant remember the model) giving them about 100 watts per side and they didn't like it to much. i never killed them but i had them smelling pretty good quite a few times.

i would probably take the guy aboves advice. a lot of people are saying the Rev's from pioneer are the absolute best coax's you can get.

How about Pioneer REV comps all around?

Comps for the front and coax for the rear?

rsd's or rev's up front and if you must have rear fill, get a set of revs for the rear.
