Indecisive mind - which one would you choose- MB Quart, Polk Audio, Alpine, JBL

[aperez]

I have the least amount of knowledge when it comes to car audio systems, and that is why I have to ask you the following 4 questions. I would GREATLY appreciate any answers.

1) I just want to replace the speakers with better ones as I don’t want to drill holes in the door panel for tweeters. Does that mean that I have to buy “coaxial” speakers, instead of “component” speakers?

2)Assume that the price for the following 4 brands are the same . What brand would you choose? (I already got the amplifier. I go with a Kenwood 5 channel)

MB Quart, Polk Audio, Alpine, JBL

3) Whichever brand you just chose from above, can you please recommend your model preference?

MB Quart - Discus 2-Way Car Speakers with Mica-Filled Poly Cones

MB QUART - X-Line Coaxial Speaker with Polypropylene Cone

MB QUART - Z-Line 2-Way Speaker System with Polypropylene Cones

Alpine - 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers with Poly-Mica Cones

Alpine - 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers with Polypropylene Cones

JBL – 2-way Component Car Speakers with Polypropylene Cones

JBL - 2-Way Coaxial Car Speakers with Polypropylene Cones (Pair)

Polk Audio - MM1 Series 2-Way Car Speakers with Dynamic Balance Cones – component

Polk Audio - MM1 Series 2-Way Car Speakers with Dynamic Balance Cones-coaxial

4) In general do you prefer Poly-Mica Cones over Polypropylene products?

Cheers & Thanks in advance for assistance.

so u aren't going to use an amp on these speakers? if u just replace factory full range speakers with what are basically midrange speakers and have no sub to play the bass not really worth doing unless your current speakers are blown..

a simple speaker swap depending on your car could actually degrade your overall sound quality if you do nothing else other than just a speaker swap.

Guys...

I already got the amplifier. I go with a Kenwood 5 channel. I just need your opinion about the speakers.

Thanks
