[QUOTE="GSteg, post: 101109, member: 543107"] they will not pretty much sound the same. road noise, vibration, and all those distorted noise are big factors when hearing speakers. with all those noises, some frequencies are bound to cancel out. there goes your "pretty much the same" theory. if you have a decent headunit, you can turn the treble setting lower and it will reduce the high's or adjust accordingly to what you like. u can't do that much in the store can you.. not to mention they run on different amps. some speakers that sounds really bad might actually be very good. i've seen amps they used to power those speakers and by all means they aren't the strongest. say you listened to some older infinity kapps (green cones) at the store but absolutely hate the sounding of it. and those speakers need a lot of power (for a speaker anyways) to really shine. the polk momo's components have horrible efficiency and require at least 100 watts RMS going to them to sound good. since they use the same amp to power every speaker, they aren't going to give the polks 100 watts and everything else 100 watts. that would blow a lot of speakers in no time. so they would have to amp them they would just produce something audible. no way they are going to concentrate on "good" speakers and leave the "bad" speakers will little power. then again..i'm a risk taker. i bought my headunit when the ebay guy had only 18 feedbacks. i took the risk in buying my CDT audio when i have never even heard of it before. i took the chance and bought the Lightning audio amp even though everyone said it sucks (i like it though). must we not forget there is usually a 30 day return policy?[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
